Well hell, this is good but they aint got the ingridient for a good metal band. Just listen to IM, Megaadeth and Rage, Helloween or just count in the great bands, this just havnt got their own original sound, they just got their own sound, hope this band all the best but cant say that Im impressed =p
Mike Exeter really did a bang on Job with the production qualities on your Album, and whomever directed/edited your video here also should be commended, however I still concur that it is the result of your collective hard work as a band, the raw, developed talent that is at the heart of your achievements. I honestly think you guys have something here, reminiscent of a young, early Queensryche. thanks for bringing back real Rock! The U.S.A. needs Music like you guys Craft so exceedingly well..
I've been an original lead guitarist for over 35 years, (now, also lead vocalist) so I've witnessed all the stylistic changes in rock n' roll for decades, and may I say with a fair amount of certainty, that I think Sonic Altar has all the missing ingrediants, well intact, as the complete package, an artistic scope that is instantly evident even upon first listen, including the visual elements, stage presence in this video image, offering a remarkable degree of obvious talent, clearly on display.
Great! Everything I love in music was just blowing out of my speakers! With such great bands metal will live on forever, no doubt. And I´ve got high preferences. Perfect. Go on. Now! :)
@apemanblunder Thanks! At this current time, the only way of getting a hold of the album we know of is via iTunes or the Japanese version on Amazon. Hope that helps. Cheers!
I hope you guys will be around for a while. The band is awesome, killer guitars and solo. The singer has a nice rockin voice, and at the 3:20 mark- HOLY CRAP...a Hell of a scream. Evey time I watch this vid, I have to back up to the scream over and over again. Please do more screams like that.
My hardcore metal mate is a fan, and now i am too.. This is Kiwi metal at its best!! Keep it up boys, see you at kiwifms metal new years party, black out
@repedeGP Hey there! Yeah the Amazon copy is actually the Japanese version. That's why it is so expensive. At this point no those stores won't be I don't think but if you have a credit card, an alternative is bandcamp. It's like iTunes in the way that you get the songs digitally but not so much hard work to do so hah. See if that works for you, otherwise contact us again and we'll try and sort something else out. sonicaltar.bandcamp.com/album/no-sacrifice
Dude, awsome music, I'm from Brazil and found you whem I was looking for some Power Metal bands...I loved your music congrats xD. Hope some day you can play here in my country (sorry for my poorly english T.T)
I listened to this, and while it wasn't as "heavy" as some songs I have listened to earlier, the one thing that captivated me about the song is the fact that it was pure rock, and you don't see that anymore. The solo was ridiculous, the other instrumentals were tight and pristine, and the voice was awesome.I hope you guys get big and come over and tour in Canada :) I'd love to see you guys live.
Looking gorgeous Kanus!!!! Nice job by all involved - sounds excellent too!!!!! Funny to think we were recording vocals and solos this time last year!! Will catch up with you in the next few days before i go to California. :)
wow this band has all i like in metal yeah !!
