New Review!!
We've just been sent a new review for our latest album; 'Ashes Of Redemption', from MetalReviews.com - and its their 'Album Of The Month!'

"...The bass drum is turned up to the maximum to get the most of the frills and complex rhythms Matt Alston throws at the listener. Secondly, the quality of the riff work is exceptionally high for a relatively unknown group from the U.K. Carved In Stone and Sorrow Of Man both contain ball busting ideas without them sounding too complicated and all over the place..."

Sanctorum in Metal Hammer...
Sanctorum's new album; 'Ashes Of Redemption', has been reviewed in this months Metal Hammer...
"Colchester's Sanctorum have developed a style that combines ferocity with neatly focused arrangments. But despite traces of Mastadon and Testament, and some genuinely impressive performance levels, promising beginnings often seep away as potential is wasted. Thier next album could be their defining moment "
6/10

New review online!
Latest review from One Metal.com is now online!
"Just shy of two years ago as album landed on my desk for review. The album in question was "The Heavens Shall Burn", an offering from young East Anglian upstarts Sanctorum. I was not familiar with the band, but after listening, I realised that these reprobates had something about them as they bludgeoned their way into my psyche with a cracking record."
