sacred13band

The number 13 may be considered unlucky in our culture, which makes Sacred 13 the perfect moniker for the Northwestern Pennsylvania-based 'Beard Metal' band launched by lead vocalist/guitarist Josh Karickhoff and bassist/vocalist Gus Ward; the revamped, reincarnation of their original 2002 group Blue Fire.  Simply stated, the two don't believe in luck, only the hard work and perseverance that has taken them though many line-up changes, management changes, and from the blues pop sound they forged as early teens, to their unique style of blending elements of classic/progressive metal with elements of modern hard rock; coupled with a very melodic vibe, and virtuostic instrumentation amongst the three members that has earned them the respect of many industry professionals, rock legends, and also their loyal fan base.
