THE SANITY DAYS — the project featuring four former members of legendary Bristol thrash metallers ONSLAUGHT — has inked a deal with Candlelight Records. The band’s debut album will be released next spring.
Steve Beatty, the head of Candlelight Records, comments: “I am thrilled to have THE SANITY DAYS on board and it’s a pleasure to be working with a band with such a great pedigree in British metal.”
THE SANITY DAYS is intended as a bit of fun for the musicians and an opportunity for fans to hear music that no longer features in ONSLAUGHT’s live repertoire.
THE SANITY DAYS was launched by Steve Grice, former drummer and founding member of the ONSLAUGHT, who played on all ONSLAUGHT albums thus far. He is joined in the new project by former ONSLAUGHT guitarist Alan Jordan (2007’s Killing Peace), bassist Jase Stallard (1985’s Power From Hell and 1986’s The Force), and ex-GRIM REAPER singer Steve Grimmett, who fronted ONSLAUGHT for the 1989 album In Search Of Sanity.
