January 27, 2015, 9 years ago
Come 2015, Inner Sanctum have put an end to their radio silence when it comes to studio material. Five years after their debut EP 'Provenance' made a mark on the metal scene in India and even took them on a Europe tour in 2013, the Bangalore metal band has finally released their first single, "Wake Of Destruction", off their upcoming debut album, Legions Awake, which will be released in March this year.
The band has roped in producer/engineer Lasse Lammert, who also worked with the band on Provenance, to fly down to Bangalore early last year to record the eight-track album. Lasse says about recording with the band, “This album is definitely not going to sound polite. Inner Sanctum’s live performance is extremely energetic and their new songs are even better than the old ones… so if we manage to capture that on the album, I’m sure people across the globe are going to bang their heads.”
The band has recently supported acts like Metallica, Slayer, Testament, Carcass, Sikth, Karnivool and Periphery on stage. In the summer of 2013, Inner Sanctum embarked on an eight city tour of Europe with festival appearances at Metalfest Poland and a slew of club shows across Germany. After the release of their debut album, the band will head back to Europe in April with an appearance at Inferno Norway.
For the lyric video for "Wake Of Destruction", Inner Sanctum teamed up with artist Igor Omodei (from French progressive metal band Uneven Structure). It features art by Inner Sanctum frontman Gaurav Basu along with Omodei's masterful animation. Igor Omodei has worked with Basick Records, Euroblast, Xerath, Escape The Cult, and The Dali Thundering Concept.
