Info:

Hailing from Canada, Sanktuary are the latest in a thrashy collective of bands reinvigorating the genre. While the band has a certain thrash bent, there are also plenty of traditional metal elements that remind me of super early Slayer and Annihilator.
After a metal-by-numbers intro entitled ‘Deadly Prey’, Something Fierce opens proper with ‘Heat Lightning’. The song sounds like it was plucked straight from somebody’s lost early 80s demo collection. The sound of thunder roars as the thin but aggressive guitars race along to the sound of the trebley rhythm section. Gang vocals and banshee screams top it all off and, if you come from this era, it will suitably impress you with its authenticity.
‘Hail The Villain’ compliments its back end offering a slightly slower pace and a very cool gear switch at the end, obviously paying homage to Metallica’s early work.
