SACRED MOTHER TONGUE: New Album Details Revealed

November 29, 2012

EMI Label Services has set a March 4, 2013 release date for "Out Of The Darkness", the second album from British metallers SACRED MOTHER TONGUE. The eleven-track collection is "a truly stunning piece of work, showcasing the band's huge ambition and quantum leap forward in vision and scale," according to a press release. A fascinating and cohesive body of work, linked thematically by lead singer Darrin South's journey through depression into a new realisation of happiness, [the CD] is as bold and beautiful an example of superlative songwriting and epic drama as you're likely to hear in 2013."

Created by all four members of the band, "Out Of The Darkness" sees Darrin step to the fore as one of Britain's premier rock vocalists, replacing his screams of yore with a more melodic approach, perfectly complemented by the world-class guitar skills of Andy James. With Lee Newell and Josh Gurner's inventive powerhouse rhythm section underpinning each track, "Out Of The Darkness" is a masterclass showcase in creating an album of true light and shade.

Produced by Scott Atkins (BEHEMOTH, SYLOSIS, CRADLE OF FILTH),"Out Of The Darkness" hints at the power of METALLICA, the melody of ALTER BRIDGE, the darkness of ALICE IN CHAINS and the visceral edge of MACHINE HEAD, while bringing a uniquely British sensibility to these stadium-rocking influences.

"Out Of The Darkness" follows the massively acclaimed release of SACRED MOTHER TONGUE's EP, "A Light Shines", in September of this year.
