EMI Label Services
are proud to announce a deal with British metal act Sacred
Mother Tongue to release their forthcoming second album. Due to
be unveiled later this year in a series of releases, Sacred
Mother Tongue’s sophomore effort, produced by Scott Atkins, is a
quantum leap forward, showcasing a band coming of age in
spectacular style.
Since forming in
2007 the band have picked up critical acclaim alongside a
dedicated fanbase with singles such as ‘Two Thousand Eight
Hundred’ and their debut album, ‘The Ruin Of Man’ released in
2009. Touring with the likes of Lamb Of God and Evile and
performing at Download, Sonisphere, Hard Rock Hell and
Hammerfest over the past three years, the band have been honing
their craft ready for the next step in their musical evolution.
And now the first
taste of what is to come can be viewed in the shape of a lyric
video for the brand new track ‘Seven’.
Shot overnight in a forest deep in Wales it’s the opening salvo
in Sacred Mother Tongue’s ascent to the highest echelons of
British metal, powered by the kind of sky-scraping rock music
that will take them around the world. You can view that video here.
And with their first
step on the international scene being a headline tour of China
later this month, including a slot at the prestigious Hang Zhou
West Lake Music Festival, the band are coming out all guns
blazing.
Their stunning sonic
arsenal features the bruised power of vocalist Darrin Smith,
whose two-year battle with severe depression forms the lyrical
basis of the new album, and guitarist Andy James, whose
six-string skills have gained him worldwide acclaim both from
his peers and on YouTube where his guitar tutorials now have
over 4 million views.
Completed by Josh
Gurner on bass, famed for his stage-diving antics whilst still
shredding the fretboard, thus creating the infamous ‘Josh Pit’,
and drummer Lee Newell, who is also the rhythmic powerhouse
behind Fields Of The Nephilim’s live performances, Sacred Mother
Tongue are renewed, revitalised and ready to take on the planet.
A London showcase
gig will be announced soon along with full details of their
debut EMI release. But in the meantime wrap your eyes and ears
around ‘Seven’ and prepare for some of the most exciting,
surprising and awe-inspiring metal you’ll hear in 2012.
