Reunited SENTINEL BEAST Working On New Album

June 26, 2007

Reunited '80s Sacramento, California thrash band SENTINEL BEAST is currently working on its second album, due out before the end of the year. In the meantime, the group has scheduled several Sacramento dates, including July 20 at the Kennel Club, August 11-12 at The Roadhouse, and August 19 at The Kennel Club with VICIOUS RUMORS.

SENTINEL BEAST has been confirmed for the Keep It True X festival, dubbed "Reign Of The Tyrant", set to take place April 4-5, 2008 at Tauberfrankenhalle in Lauda-Königshofen, Germany. The band will also appear at the Up The Hammers festival in Athens, Greece. A European tour with OMEN is said to be in the works.

SENTINEL BEAST was formed in Sacramento in 1984 by Debbie Gunn, Mike Spencer (bass),and Scott Awes (drums). During this time, the axes were played by Greg Williams and Jerry Fraiser, later to be replaced by Barry Fischel and Mark Koyasako. Discovered by Kerry King of SLAYER, the band recorded and released the influential "Depths of Death" album, on Metal Blade Records, in 1986 and the band later went on to open shows for the likes of SLAYER, EXODUS, MEGADETH, MERCYFUL FATE, KING DIAMOND, and others. The band broke up when Mike Spencer joined FLOTSAM AND JETSAM as the replacement for Jason Newsted when the latter left for METALLICA. Debbie Gunn departed for Chicago shortly after to front ZNOWHITE, then relocated to Europe to join the all-female thrash pioneers, ICE AGE.

SENTINEL BEAST has returned with the belting vocals of Debbie Gunn, Kenny Eckhart and Dana Lindstrom on guitars, Nic Atomica X on bass, and the fresh drum attacks of Scott Fuller. Watch for upcoming SENTINEL BEAST reissues with bonus tracks on Evil Legend Records.
