Canadian Power Thrashers Sanktuary Premiere New Song ‘Heat Lightning’ From Upcoming Album ‘Something Fierce’
L-R: Anders Grasholm – Drums | Cole Hume – Bass | Alan Binger – Vocals, Guitar | Glen Emond – Guitar
Canadian power thrashers Sanktuary are premiering their second single ‘Heat Lightning’ off their upcoming debut album ‘Something Fierce’ onPureGrainAudio.com at the following location here.
The eight track power thrash thrill ride will be released on Tuesday, July 2, 2013via Canadian metal label Spread The Metal Records and is available for pre-orderhere.
Spawning from high school friendship and growing into something much more epic, Sanktuary kicked things off with two back-to-back EPs – 2009′s self-titled release and 2010′s Black Magic Brew – and soon followed that up with a massive move from Whitehorse, Yukon to Halifax, Nova Scotia.
After touring the country following their epic relocation and being faced with a major blow in Toronto that saw their van and nearly all their gear get stolen, Sanktuary turned things around with a third EP in 2011, Tundrastruck (a 3 way split with Black Moor and Metallian), followed by them signing to Spread the Metal Records, which sent them all the way back to Whitehorse to record ‘Something Fierce’.

Smarter, stronger and musically tighter than ever, FATALITY is now ready to unleash their sophomore album ‘Psychonaut’, a darker and more mature effort, Fatality bring forth their trademark energy and commitment to drunken mayhem. Tracks like “Thoughts Collide” and “Before The Collapse” delve deep into the sodden minds of their creators, bubbling with the strange alchemy of pop culture. Psychonaut is an exploration of the inner landscape of the mind, where addled thoughts and horror-polluted dreams are held up to musical scrutiny. Monstrous, ambitious, and sardonically funny as ever, FATALITY are taking their unique sound and boundless energy to the next level.
Psychonaut – Track Listing
1. Enter Purgatory
2. Thoughts Collide
3. Monstrous
4. Before the Collapse
5. Towards Disaster
6. Psychonaut
7. Satan’s Shepherd
8. Thrashterpiece II

Toronto, ON metallers WHERE GIANTS ONCE STOOD have shed the skin of years past, when they were known as Absence of Fear and shared the stage with such established bands as Periphery, The Human Abstract and Stray from the Path. Reborn, re-amped and heading your way, WGOS are setting themselves apart from the herd with the release of their debut EP ‘The Changing’ on Tuesday, July 30th.
Vocalist Reshaun Page explains, “As soon as we set foot in the studio to record this new EP, the material sounded so fresh and heavy that we knew this was going to be a whole new beginning for us.”
A seven-track assault on the senses, ‘The Changing’ hurtles towards the future of metal without ever forgetting its roots, fusing traditional guitar solos, technical riffing, screaming vocals and soaring melodic choruses with modern breakdowns and electronic samples.
Check out their new music video for the single ‘The Heavens Tremble’.
1. Awakening
2. The Heavens Tremble
3. Secrets
4. Disbelievers
5. A Broken Memory
6. Transition
7. The Changing
