Sanhedrin announce new album ‘Heat Lightning’

SANHEDRIN have announced a new album!

Titled Heat Lightning, the upcoming album from the New York City-based heavy metal band is the follow-up to 2022’s Lights On, and is scheduled to be released in March this year, via Metal Blade Records.

Unlike the band’s previous three albums, which were all tracked and mixed by Colin Marston, for the new album, the band opted to work with a fresh set of ears in a new environment. In doing so, they landed at Utopia Bearsville studio in Woodstock, New York. At the helm for recording and co-producing were Matt Brown [LLIFE OF AGONY, A PALE HORSE NAMED DEATH] and Jerry Farley [SICK OF IT ALL, MADBALL].

“Sonically, there‘s no comparison,” says drummer Nathan Honor. “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.” Guitarist/vocalist Jeremy Sosville adds, “this album is a symbol of persistence during hard times, friendship through music, and the unwavering desire to do our best work together. After a decade of being a band, we are proud that we continue to push ourselves to new places sonically and musically. We hope the listener can hear our sincerity and our dedication when listening to this new collection of songs.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, SANHEDRIN have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Blind Wolf. Speaking about the new song, vocalist/bassist Erica Stoltz shares, “the blind wolf symbolizes losing your animal instincts as a result of adopting someone else’s belief system.” Sosville adds, “we knew as soon as the song was complete that it should open the record. It really sets the tone for the journey the listener is about to take with this album.”
