“Un bon équilibre entre mélodie et électricité.”

The tour de force of ‘Vermin Lord’ has one of the best solos you’ll hear all year, and the jagged title track is a melodic masterpiece, with catchy guitar harmonies and some of those almost shrieky thrash vocals…. Sanktuary’s ‘Winters Doom’ is a memorable collection of thrashing anthems, with the emphasis on catchy riffs and breakneck speed. Rapid fire thrash and so good at it.

“….Doom” understands a few things. It knows that thrash metal should be fast, nasty, snotty, brash and in your face.

An immense rollercoaster of an album, to say the least, where every track is a thrilling headbanger that each bring their own qualities to the table.
It’s going to take something special to top what will surely go down as one of 2016’s best underground metal records.

It is one ravenous album that really takes you by force and blossoms into evil virulence. Each track is a tirade of brutal thrash that you won’t be able to resist as it chugs into life.
From the opening drum fills of “Space Race”, the lead track on their sophomore effort Winter’s Doom, Sanktuary had its’ hooks into this listener. A blistering headbanger from the opening skin bashing to the closing guitar note, Winter’s Doom crashes along for near 33 minutes despite only being seven tracks in length.

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.
