Pyracanda + Sacrosanct - Oldschool Metal Meets Progressive Power

PYRACANDA

Founded in 1987, PYRACANDA ranks among the defining German metal bands of the early 90s. With their debut "Two Sides Of A Coin" (1990) and follow-up "Thorns" (1992), they established their distinctive style: powerful speed and heavy metal with strong melodies, NWOBHM influences, and progressive elements.

After decades away, the band celebrated a highly anticipated comeback in 2020 - and impressively continued in 2024 with the new album "Losing Faith". Composed and recorded entirely old-school, without triggers or drum computers, the album stands for honest, handcrafted metal: raw, direct, and timeless. A special highlight: due to overwhelming demand, a new edition will be released in 2025 featuring a duet with Peavy Wagner (Rage) on the track "Hellfire".

SACROSANCT

SACROSANCT was founded in 1988 and continues to enjoy cult status in the progressive and thrash metal scene. Their early albums "Truth Is - What Is", "Recesses For The Depraved", and "Tragic Intense" are regarded as milestones where technical sophistication meets dark atmosphere.

After a 25-year hiatus, the band made an impressive return in 2018 with "Necropolis". Now in 2025 comes "Kidron" - an even stronger, yet complex and engaging album. With new vocalist Max Morton (known for work with Jinjer), the sound gains added depth, dynamics, and expressive power. Melancholic harmonies, progressive structures, and intense lyrics make SACROSANCT live a deeply moving experience.
