| SPIN018 SANCTUM "ON THE HORIZON" CD |
 |
Along with their comrades in Oakland’s Stormcrow, Seattle’s Sanctum are the new standard for crust obsessed metal, or War Crust as they call it. Raised on a diet of influences such as Bolt Thrower, Extreme Noise Terror, Entombed, Unleashed and Amebix, Sanctum mesh the best aspects of all those bands into a storming, unhinged cacophony of metallic upheavel. On their first full length, “On The Horizon”, Sanctum continues to crush the cenotaph as they did on last year’s split album with Stormcrow with 8 new tracks of totaldeathcrust. Tracks like “Scepter Of Pestilence” and “Victory Or Defeat” are as memorable as they are earth-scorching. In addition, this CD version of “On The Horizon” contains 7 bonus tracks in the form of the bands earliest two vinyl only EPs, “Sanctum” and “Enslaved”. Packaged in a sturdy oversized gatefold CD jacket. The chaos of Sanctum is the sign that in Seattle there is no law! |

| SPIN012 STORMCROW / SANCTUM "SPLIT" CD |
 |
Oakland's Stormcrow and Seattle's Sanctum are relative newcomers, having both only existed for a few years time. However, listening to their epic split album, both bands sound like seasoned veterans of a scene that began when they were but children. Both bands play an impossibly heavy brand of War Crust as they like to call it, influenced primarily by England's mighty Bolt Thrower with additional direct ties to crust forefathers like the legendary Amebix and Axegrinder. Stormcrow tend to build longer, more epic and metalized songs while Sanctum keep it to shorter, sharper attacks, both utilizing the infamous D-beat to ultimate effect, and tuning low enough to sound like a battalion of warriors charging to battle. Already considered a classic in the crust division, 20 Buck Spin now brings this devastating split to the digital realm for ye non-vinyl brigades. Comes packaged in full color mini-gatefold with foldout mini-poster of amazing artwork. |
