Vocalist/Guitarist Titan comments:

“Aderlass; The Blood Of Sacrifice” – how old-school can a riff be? When we first played the riff that the King gave us at Castle Rockfort we knew that this was a battle song. When you hear the huge chorus you stand on a battlefield.

We love the idea of calling a battle “blood letting”, but the German word “Aderlass” is so much more radical, like the Germans! This song was great before we went into the studio – and it got amazing when we recorded it. Read more “Hammer King “Aderlass; Blood Of Sacrifice” Streaming Online Today”

Illusions in Infinite Void, the debut full-length from Greek Heavy Metal Force SACRAL RAGE will be released in March 2015 (March 10 in North America and March 27 in Europe) on Cruz Del Sur Music.

Illusions in Infinite Void is a monumental piece of Metal from start to finish. Indeed it’s an ever-changing Metal vortex with countless rhythmic-changes and no weak moments, a tense state of aggression in which singer Dimitri’s excellent performance and the textured guitar lines stand out. The band plays U.S. style metal with some European influences. Acts such as JAG PANZER, ANNIHILATOR, MERCYFUL FATE, JUDAS PRIEST, WATCHTOWER, and RUSH are major influences. Lyrics about horror, supernatural, dark fantasy, soul searching, forbidden religions, perfectly match the band’s dark, aggressive, technical and paranoid music.

On Illusions in Infinite Void, the band proves to be more than just a mere replica of the most influential bands of the Golden Age of (especially) U.S .Metal. Hand in hand with a granitic rhythmic session, their songs turn, change and evolve endlessly into a wide variety of riffs, screams and roars! SACRAL RAGE have undoubtedly written one of the most inspired releases of 2015.

The tracklist is:

1. Harbinger
2. En Cima Del Mal
3. Lost Chapter E.: Sutratma
4. Panic in Urals (Burning Skies)
5. Waltz in Madness
6. Into Mental East
7. Inner Sanctum Asylum
8. A Tyrannous Revolt
9. Lost Chapter E.: Amarna’s Reign

Argus-Feb-2015-crop

Argus has parted ways with bassist Andy Ramage and guitarist Erik Johnson. We thank them for the time and talent they put into Argus over the years. We wish them well in their future musical pursuits. The final recording to feature this version of Argus is the forthcoming 7″ single “Death Hath No Conscience” b/w “Streets of Gold.”

Moving forward Argus has turned to longtime friend Justin Campbell to join the band as their new bassist. Justin is a seasoned musician who has an extensive history with members of Argus and bands like RATM2, SIKES!, Come Summer, and Tabula Rasa.

Dave Watson, the engineer behind all three Argus full lengths, will join the band as a live guitar player for the forthcoming dates in Dublin, the Roadburn Festival and in Pittsburgh. Dave is a great guitarist, formerly with Mantic Ritual and currently a member of Icarus Witch and DC Cooper’s solo band.
