SACROSANCT’s Evolution and Legacy

Formed in 1988 by guitarist Randy Meinhard (formerly of Pestilence), SACROSANCT carved their place in metal history with a trilogy of early ’90s classics: Truth is – What Is, Recesses for the Depraved, and Tragic Intense. Known for their progression from thrash metal to a more melodic and atmospheric sound, SACROSANCT’s influence has remained strong despite a 25-year hiatus.

Their return in 2018 with Necropolis reaffirmed their ability to blend melancholic harmonies, technical prowess, and thought-provoking lyrics. Now, with Kidron, SACROSANCT continues to evolve, introducing new vocalist Max Morton, whose dynamic and unique voice breathes fresh energy into their music.

“Kidron combines all our trademarks,” comments Randy Meinhard. “It has a unique atmosphere shaped by the challenges we’ve faced, and it’s both accessible and complex.”

Track Listing for Kidron:

    Marching Days
    Avenging Angel
    Prince of Clowns
    Coming of the Scorpion
    Gethsemane
    Doorway of Dreams
    Still Open Sore
    Before It Ends

Looking Ahead

With ROAR’s support, SACROSANCT is poised to bring Kidron to fans worldwide, not just through digital and physical releases but also with live performances. "We’re thrilled to be part of the ROAR family,” the band shares. “With Markus Wosgien and Lambros at our side, we’re ready to take Kidron to the world on CD, vinyl, and the stage.”
