Sanhedrin To Release New Album In March

Sanhedrin has spent the last decade at the forefront of the American heavy metal scene blending traditional metal and hard rock sounds with a fresh modern energy and perspective. With 2022‘s critically lauded "Lights On" full-length, the band had created their most complete work to date. With their follow-up, "Heat Lightning," the band delivers a diverse collection of songs that wholly captures their wide array of influences with an elevated level of production.
"Sonically, there‘s no comparison," notes drummer Nathan Honor when asked how "Heat Lightning" compares to the band‘s previous efforts. "'Heat Lightning' is the fullest representation of the power of this band. When you take three seasoned musicians with their favorite handpicked instruments, put them in front of two brilliant producer/engineers in a studio stacked with incredible equipment and no outside distractions, this is what you get."

Sanhedrin Posts New Music Video Online
New York’s Sanhedrin have just debuted a new video from their current album, "Lights On," that was released Worldwide last March through Metal Blade Records. You can check out the video for "Scythian Women" below.
Comments Sanhedrin singer Erica Stoltz: "I wrote the song about an archeological discovery in Russia late December 2019. A tomb was found with the skeletons of four Scythian women warriors aged 12 to 50. They had battle scars and were buried with weapons and horses. It was the best example of pre-Christian female identity I’ve ever seen. The song was my tribute to them, a way to bring their spirits into a new age, continue their story and show what women are able to do.
"As for the video itself, it was animated and directed by Mike "Fox" Foxall, a dear friend from the band hailing from Australia. „We met Mike at the 2019 edition of Hell Over Hammaburg when our band and his (Neptune Power Federation) played together. We instantly hit it off as friends and so working with him for the video was an extension of our friendship. We feel the video captures the energy and themes of the song while also providing a unique visual look and narrative to the listening experience. RIDE OUT!!!" More...
Sanhedrin Shares New Music Video
New York’s Sanhedrin has debuted the first video from their upcoming album, "Lights On," set for worldwide release on March 4th. You can check it out below.
The Brooklyn power trio do metal the old school way, channeling the greats that preceded them to create something that is instantly familiar yet with a new, modern energy to it. On this particular track, vocalist/bassist Erica Stoltz explains, "’Lost at Sea’ is about how we are drowning in excess here in the developed world. We are moving ever further away from a seven-generations perspective of our own existence, the effect it has on the future and how it is tied to the past."
The video was shot at the historic King's Theatre in Brooklyn, NY. Built in the 1920's, it is a visually stunning facility with ornate features that lend itself to the lyrical theme of opulence. The vast ceilings, bold carvings and beautiful stage and seats provide an epic atmosphere for the band's performance. Also starring in the video is fellow Brooklyn metaller, Tanya Finder of the band Shadowland, as the death-dealing fortune teller.
Rounded out by drummer Nathan Honor and guitarist Jeremy Sosville the band state, “In a time where the world around you feels like it’s aflame, when our heavy metal heroes are beginning to disappear to failing health or changing social norms, we, Sanhedrin, stand here as a shining light through the dark. We are prepared to fly the flag of heavy metal in these trying and uncertain times and have only begun to show the world what we are capable of.” More...
