Due to be unveiled later this year in a series of releases, Sacred Mother Tongue\u2019s sophomore effort, produced by Scott Atkins, is a quantum leap forward, showcasing a band coming of age in spectacular style.<\/p>\n<p>Since forming in 2007 the band have picked up critical acclaim alongside a dedicated fanbase with singles such as \u2018Two Thousand Eight Hundred\u2019 and their debut album, \u2018The Ruin Of Man\u2019 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.<\/p>\n<p>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 \u2018Seven\u2019. Shot overnight in a forest deep in Wales it\u2019s the opening salvo in Sacred Mother Tongue\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Completed by Josh Gurner on bass, famed for his stage-diving antics whilst still shredding the fretboard, thus creating the infamous \u2018Josh Pit\u2019, and drummer Lee Newell, who is also the rhythmic powerhouse behind Fields Of The Nephilim\u2019s live performances, Sacred Mother Tongue are renewed, revitalised and ready to take on the planet.<\/p>\n<p>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 \u2018Seven\u2019 and prepare for some of the most exciting, surprising and awe-inspiring metal you\u2019ll hear in 2012.<\/p>\n<p>www.youtube.com\/SacredMotherTongueTV<br \/>www.facebook.com\/sacredmothertongue<\/p>\n<p>Source: EMI<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SIGN WITH EMI LABEL SERVICESUNLEASH THE STUNNING LYRIC VIDEO FOR\u2018SEVEN\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1635","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1635","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1635"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1635\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1635"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1635"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1635"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
