SANCTITY Seeking New Singer

July 22, 2008

North Carolina thrashers SANCTITY — who recently parted ways with Jared MacEachern (vocals, rhythm guitar) and Derek Anderson (bass) "for personal reasons" — are currently seeking a new frontman.

Commented guitarist Zach Jordan: "We are searching for an experienced singer that fits what we do — that's it. No limitations. We have been working on a new album, and finding a new record label — but we can only go so far without a vocalist."

SANCTITY temporarily enlisted Nate Queen to fill the vocalist slot but has since parted ways with the singer. "[Nate] was actually assaulted with a baseball bat at a stripclub, suffering him to have bleeding of the brain, which put him out for a couple weeks in which we had to find a replacement singer for the shows that we [had] coming up," Zach told BLABBERMOUTH.NET. "During his recovery/absence, it was decided by the band that it just wasn't working out and have since parted ways. He just wasn't everything we were looking for — great dude and all — but the voice wasn't us. Our new stuff is more brutal — still fun to listen to like the first album, but more of a CHILDREN OF BODOM-meets-PANTERA's-'Vulgar Display of Power'. Wierd mix, I know, but we want to incorporate every band member's personality into the music. So we're trying to find a singer that will bring his own thing, and make us a band that kids want to watch live — not boring like the other 98% of bands that are touring currently."

SANCTITY is currently unsigned after recently losing its deal with Roadrunner Records.

The band's video for the song "Beloved Killer" (see below) was shot in Asheville, NC with director Ramon Boutviseth. The track comes off the "Road to Bloodshed" CD, which came out in April 2007.
