SACROSANCT Featuring Former PESTILENCE Guitarist RANDY MEINHARD Release "My Last White Light" Music Video
November 19, 2018, 6 years ago
The official music video for the song "My Last White Light", from German/Dutch progressive metallers Sacrosanct, founded by former Pestilence guitarist Randy Meinhard, can be seen below. The track is taken from Sacrosanct's fourth album, Necropolis, which will be released on November 30th via ROAR! Rock Of Angels Records.
Necropolis was engineered, mixed and mastered by Max Morton of Morton Studios, who has also remastered the entire Sacrosanct back catalogue. 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 clichés.
Initially intended solely as a studio project, Necropolis was recorded by a brand new Sacrosanct lineup featuring Randy Meinhard and Christian Göwert 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 lineup 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.
