Sanhedrin Sign to Metal Blade Records; New Album in 2021
It’s not every day you run into a Lost Goat connection. Sanhedrin, newly signed to Metal Blade for their upcoming third album, is fronted by Erica Stoltz, whose pedigree includes not only that largely-lost three-piece from the pre-social media, turn-of-the-century days of heavy rock, but also to Amber Asylum, the pioneering chamber-doom outfit from whence also sprang Worm Ouroboros, Giant Squid, Grayceon, Culper Ring, etc. A not insignificant CV.
Guitarist Jeremy Sosville and drummer Nathan Honor have their own lineages, between Black Anvil and Vermefug, respectively, but as 2019’s The Poisoner readily demonstrates, Sanhedrin‘s sound is more singularly indebted to the classic metal end of doom. One imagines seeing them share a stage with Magic Circle and bringing forth roughed-up NWOBHM gods with copious spells of summoning.
Oh yeah, and I guess Metal Blade‘s pedigree is pretty good too. Remember that time they put out Show No Mercy?
Info from the PR wire:
Metal Blade Records is proud to welcome Brooklyn’s Sanhedrin to its worldwide roster!
Formed in 2015, Sanhedrin have released two albums to-date: A Funeral For The World (2017) and The Poisoner (2019). The trio (which consists of former Amber Asylum/Lost Goat bassist/vocalist Erica Stoltz, Black Anvil guitarist Jeremy Sosville and drummer Nathan Honor) blends doom and classic metal into gripping, instantaneously memorable songs with lyrics that delve into the darker elements of humanity and the cyclical nature of destructive ideas. Thought-provoking and inherently catchy at the same time, Sanhedrin is unafraid to venture into unchartered territory.
The band will enter the studio to record their third full-length – and Metal Blade Records debut – in spring 2021.
Sanhedrin comments: “We are excited and humbled to join Metal Blade Records! Their legacy spans four decades and countless amazing artists, many of whom have inspired us over the years. We are proud to be part of its future, and look forward to what this new partnership will bring for Sanhedrin.”
Stay tuned for more news about Sanhedrin coming soon!
