Biography

From the rain-swept city of Vancouver come Wormwitch; the result of strain, both musically and mentally, becoming possessed by black metal instrumentals, rock and roll roots, and depressive lyrics. The black metal three-piece is the brainchild of former members of local hardcore act Dead Hand (2013-2015). Wormwitch is Colby Hink (guitar), Max Vüst (drums), and Robin Harris (bass & vocals). The songs are treated as unearthed bones, first they are arranged and named, then a story is developed based on the fractures and cuts, and finally the song is complete.

The band has been constantly swinging like a pendulum further and further right, as if the far left was classic punk rock and the right being blasphemous black metal. Wormwitch have been and will continue to become enveloped in European influences tinged with the slightest hint of rock and roll. The band consists of just three instruments, but somehow combines them all to create a catastrophous sound.

Each song is built to prey upon listeners as if taking in their energy and maintaining a deadly grip. The band’s goal is to engage the audience both instrumentally and emotionally as if to exhaust them. “The Long Defeat,” is the first EP discharged from the collective mind of Wormwitch. The band is currently drafting their sophomore release which has yet to be named. They are also releasing their rogue single titled “Coffin Birth” focusing on nature taking charge and sacrificing and renewing itself, all in an effort to destroy the blight of man.

Bottom line: with Winter’s Doom, Canada’s Sanktuary plays tried and true heavy speed metal, and they do it with skill and enthusiasm. Recommended.

‘Winter’s Doom’ Unleashed On Metal-Rules! Yukon Power Thrashers SANKTUARY Streaming New Album

New Album ‘Winter’s Doom’ Out Jan 22nd

 

L-R: Anders Grasholm – Drums | Cole Hume – Bass | Alan Binger – Vocals, Guitar | Glen Emond – Guitar

     Power thrash champions SANKTUARY are returning in 2016 with their new album ‘Winters Doom’ to follow up 2013’s widely praised ‘Something Fierce’.Set to be unleashed on January 22nd, the Yukon warriors of the Canadian North have teamed up with Metal-Rules.com for the full album premiere, which can be heard at the following link: http://www.metal-rules.com/metalnews/2016/01/18/sanktuary-winters-doom-album-premiere-a-metal-rules-com-exclusive/ 

“Winter’s Doom is a big step up for us and a step our homeland of the frigid North directed us in. The vast emptiness and shear mammoth proportions of this landscape lend a very helpful hand in open palm smacking the creative juices right into you. In this album the songs are faster, heavier and all around more to the tune we have always been drawn to. I’m sure all who listen will agree this is our best offering to date!” comments bassist Cole Hume.

‘Winter’s Doom’ is available for pre-order at the following bandcamp link here.

1. Space Race (4:30) [Bravewords]
2. Wild Is The Wind (4:12)
3. Vermin Lord (6:50)

5. Open Your Eyes (4:40)
6. Corpse Blockade (4:15) [Free Download – PureGrainAudio]
7. Maximum Authority (4:46)
Album Length: 32:55

About:

Power thrash champions SANKTUARY hail from the harsh and blisteringly cold of the deep far North of Canada’s Yukon Territory situating themselves in the city of Whitehorse (pretty far north, like the Siberia of Canada eh!). They have been trekking across the country for the past 6 years to bring their fierce and dynamic high speed riffs, catchy hooks, and belted out lyrics to the metal crowds.

A collective vision that began in high school with a group of like-minded teens fed up with the constraints of mainstream music who wanted to emulate the lifestyles of their favourite bands. Their straight-forward, no-bullshit attitudes shape their signature brand of heavy metal, which has led them to release the full length, 2013’s ‘Something Fierce’ that reached #19 on the national college radio loud charts, 2011’s ‘Tundrastruck’ split with Nova Scotia’s Black Moor and Montreal’s Metallian plus two EPs 2010’s ‘Black Magic’ and 2009’s self-titled.

Members of the band write harmoniously, basing each song off of a key riff from either Alan Binger (vocals and guitar), Glen Emond (guitar), or Cole Hume (bass), and then Anders Grasholm (drums) works his magic on the rhythm of each tune.

2016 see the band’s return with their sophomore album ‘Winter’s Doom’ set for release on January 22nd, 2016. The album features seven killer high speed, breakneck thrash metal tracks inspired by the Yukon’s far North they call home along with other issues such as politics, technology, etc..

“In the title track and album cover we portray ourselves as heavy metal warriors thriving in a habitat where most would perish instantaneously.That’s our homeland, the Yukon.” comments the band.

0 Made iN Metal – Sanktuary – Winter’s Doom

Todas las canciones son de alta velocidad, thrash del corte de la Bay Area. Que algunos momentos iniciales como los de “Vermin Lord” no te hagan perder la pista. Se trata de un tema épico de siete minutos, que cuando arranca, toma el ritmo “a caballo” típico de Iron Maiden, pero con más fuerza en las guitarras.
