\nBrooklyn metallers SANHEDRIN<\/strong> will release their sophomore album, \u201cThe Poisoner\u201d<\/strong>, on February 22 via Cruz Del Sur Music<\/strong>. Recorded in August and September of this year at Menegroth, The Thousand Caves<\/strong> with Colin Marston<\/strong> at the helm, \u201cThe Poisoner\u201d <\/strong>features eight songs of timeless, classy heavy metal that picks up where the band\u2019s acclaimed \u201cA Funeral For The World\u201d <\/strong>debut left off, with an array of big riffs, catchy vocals and explorations into darker territory than before.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had no idea how that record would be received when we released it,\u201d begins guitarist Jeremy Sosville<\/strong>, also of BLACK ANVIL<\/strong>. \u201cWe knew we were proud of it, but the response from the greater public was quite surprising and humbling. Since then, we\u2019ve been able to play some great shows and really learn what makes our band unique and build on that.\u201d<\/p>\n

SANHEDRIN<\/strong>, who also feature former AMBER ASYLUM<\/strong> and LOST GOAT<\/strong> vocalist\/bassist Erica Stoltz<\/strong> and drummer Nathan Honor<\/strong>, used ideas that date back to the formation of the band for \u201cThe Poisoner\u201d<\/strong> in addition to songs that were written around the time of \u201cA Funeral For The World\u2019s\u201d<\/strong> release. The overriding goal, however, was to have an album ready in time for their European live debut next March alongside labelmates GATEKEEPER<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think all three of us progressed quite a bit as individual players as well as learning to maximize our roles as a collective,\u201d says Sosville<\/strong>. \u201cThe approach is unique for every song, but it normally starts with me bringing in some riffs that work well together.\u00a0Erica<\/strong> usually comes up with a vocal line and\u00a0all three of us convene until we\u2019re all happy with the final result. A very important aspect we pay attention to is how all the songs flow together. It\u2019s a crucial element to any great record. We certainly did not want to write the same album a second time but we did not want to forsake what makes us SANHEDRIN<\/strong> either. Overall, I think this record is a little darker and a little meaner.<\/p>\n

A distinctive element of SANHEDRIN<\/strong> is their thought-provoking lyrics, many of which that go deeper than metal\u2019s often fantasy and allegory-based themes. On \u201cThe Poisoner\u201d<\/strong>, SANHEDRIN <\/strong>addresses real-world themes that can be seen virtually every day in the news. \u201cA lot of the album is about the destructive and chaotic side of human nature,\u201d says Stoltz<\/strong>. \u201cThe thirst for power, living in a world slipping into a surreal soup of archaic ideas and advanced technology.\u201d<\/p>\n

After an active 2018 that saw SANHEDRIN<\/strong> share the stage with the likes of EYEHATEGOD<\/strong>, THE OBSESSED<\/strong>, CAULDRON<\/strong>, WITCH MOUNTAIN<\/strong> and SABBATH ASSEMBLY<\/strong> (among others), the band is preparing for an even bigger live assault in 2019 behind \u201cThe Poisoner\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope that the people who support us already are as proud of this record as we are and that we can gain some new supporters with this new material,\u201d wraps Sosville<\/strong>. \u201cWe work really hard to make music we believe in, so it\u2019s gratifying when you can reach more people with it and bring them along for the journey. We\u2019re not the biggest band out there, but the people who do follow us have been extremely positive and supportive. We\u2019re really grateful for that. I\u2019m probably most excited at the prospect of bringing these songs to as many stages as we can in 2019.\u201d<\/p>\n
