Arizona-based thrash metal act SARGON have covered JUDAS PRIEST’s classic, 'Hell Bent For Leather'. Judas Priest is one of Sargon’s biggest influences/inspirations and are directly responsible for the band’s thrash n' roll sound. The track was recorded at Ryan Arcane Digital Studios by Ryan Butker, mixed at PTY Studios by Ignacio Molino, and mastered at The Audio Refinery Studios by Eric Koondel.

In addition, the band announces that they have started the writing process for the follow-up to their full-length album, In Contempt, released in 2011 via Old Cemetery Records.
Sargon welcome the addition of lead guitarist Jack Fliegler and drummer Michael Ohlson who stepped in for former drummer Rickard Stjernquist after he decided to focus on his main band, BENEDICTUM, and other projects. The band is thankful for the work Rickard put into Sargon’s 2012 EP The Bitter End and wishes him much success in all his endeavors.
