Calling Nova Scotia home for the last few years, Yukon power thrashers Sanktuary have announced three new Atlantic Canada show dates this August, including a performance at Spread The Metal Festival which boasts bands DEICIDE, THE AGONIST, ERIMHA and more. All live dates are available below.
SANKTUARY kicked things off with two back-to-back EPs – 2009′s self-titled release and 2010′s Black Magic Brew and soon followed that up with a massive move from Whitehorse, Yukon to Halifax, Nova Scotia.
After touring the country following their relocation and faced with a major blow in Toronto that saw their van and nearly all their gear get stolen, SANKTUARY turned things around with a third EP in 2011, Tundrastruck (a 3 way split with Black Moor and Metallian), followed by them signing to Spread the Metal Records, which sent them all the way back to Whitehorse to record Something Fierce. Their latest album was unleashed on July 2 via Spread the Metal Records.
