`It took 25 years, but the wait has finally ended, thanks to this awesome album´!

 

DE BASSIST

`The album is heavy, in your face, and contains some excellent riffs. At the same time, it´s very melodic and the vocals sometimes resemble those of Metallica´s James Hetfield.´

 

PROGRESSIVE X RADIO

`Rich´s powerful vocals frequently remind me of former Threshold singer Mac´s…with Necropolis, SACROSANCT have delivered a showpiece that is as inviolable as the bands name itself. It is not just a return to the aural stage, it is a return to form!

Remain! All locks are clicking to what was before And close while I’m kicking the last open door Close my Still Open Sore Memories they offer to the curtain pull And exposing every crack hope has yet to find No more time nor spaces have I left to burn So I turn away again, still unborn inside Circle of life my heart is breaking The pieces are waving while drifting apart Reaching for nowhere I smile though I’m aching And scratch on its surface for air in the dark Signals arriving, I hear them call A sign of beginning or end of it all? It all… Drawning with evening in oceans of sand A portrait of morning by this simple man Close my Still open Sore #sacrosanct #kidron #progressivemetal

Broken frames and scattered glass as leaves in the fall Wither with man to image of none Leaving their light of silvery dark For all of us who’s seeking the sun Saw you passing by as you fell You put one of your feathers in my hand Sculptured sorrow pleading to tell So that my soul would hear and understand Thus speaking in tongues of destruction – a wind of loss Is spreading far to us and sweeping through the dust A call of retribution cross the earth Fly high Avenging Angel! #sacrosanct #kidron #progressivemetal

SACROSANCT - "My Last White Light" (Official Video)

• Artist: SACROSANCT • Album: "Necropolis" • Song: "My Last White Light" • Label: Rock Of Angels Records • EU Release Date: 30.11.2018 *** Get "Necropolis" now: http://bit.ly/sacro-necro-mm http://bit.ly/sacro-necro-roar http://bit.ly/sacro-necro-amzn *** • ROAR!

A prolific professional with a broad clientele, Max has worked with a wide variety of acts, including prominent Ukranian metalcore combo Jinjer. The objective with “Necropolis” was to record a classic, analogue-sounding album using modern technologies, and at the same time avoid any modern metal cliches. Initially intended solely as a studio project, “Necropolis” was recorded by a brand-new SACROSANCT line-up featuring Randy Meinhard and Christian Gowert on guitars, Richard F. Hesselink on vocals, and Kees Harrison – formerly of Dutch prog-metal act Sphere of Souls – on bass. During the recording sessions, it soon became apparent that the new line-up wanted to continue working together and bring the new material to the stage. With the support of ROAR! Rock Of Angels Records, SACROSANCT are now looking forward to bringing these plans to fruition. While “Necropolis” bears all of the hallmarks and intricacies that characterize SACROSANCT, it displays a more mature and focused song-writing approach. Songs like “The New Age Of Fear”, “My Last White Light” and “Only One God” are lyrically thought-provoking, creating a brand of metal that still makes the band hard to categorize. Like its predecessor, “Tragic Intense”, which was released in 1993, “Necropolis” places a strong emphasis on melancholy melodies and clean vocals, but also incorporates many harmony guitar parts, faster tempos and some modern twists that mark the beginning of a new chapter for the band. The epic cover art for “Necropolis” was designed by Giannis Nakos based on the band’s ideas, and perfectly portrays the album’s dark subject matter. It prominently features SACROSANCT’s new mascot, the Weeping Angel – a guardian and an avenger of injustice. Stay Tragic! *** • Fourth full length album after 25 long years from Dutch Progressive Metal legends Sacrosanct! • “Necropolis” is released by ROAR! Rock Of Angels Records (Ashes Of Ares, Monument, Outloud, Kilmara, Mean Streak, Panorama, Enemy Inside, Felskinn, Guardians Of Time etc.). • Featuring former members of Pestilence & Sphere of Souls • All music written by Randy Meinhard, except ‘Clouds Obscured The Sun’, written by Randy Meinhard and Gerrit Knol • All lyrics written by Richard F.
