Doncaster metallers' Blame The Sacred return with this dual single following their excellent EP "The Path" in March via Forge AMP. The Quintet has managed to keep themselves amused during lockdown with the releases of "The Exiled/Violence, due out on September 7th 2020.

The Exiled carries on from where The Path left off. This hard-hitting track comes with a clear message- a voice for the downtrodden! It seems to be a patent for Blame The Sacred to deliver meaty riffs that would knock you over with a proverbial punch. Thunderous drums, an intense intro and sonic vocals help define the true meaning behind what the band want to convey. Vocalist Danny Porter continues to evolve as a trusted singer with adaptability to dig deeper into his arsenal to mix melodies and growls to sound like a man visiting his own demons.
The Violence is dark and moody in contrast to the edginess of the previous song. This one looks at the perspective of when one can be pushed to breaking point. The songwriting deserves credit as the track is structured to feel like it could explode at any time. Guitarists Andy Wordsworth and Kris Rayner deliver dynamic riffs that trade-off like a battle between conscience. Emery pounds the drums like a general to every note, as Porter's distorted vocals remind me of early Disturbed. These are two enjoyable songs that will fit any album the band choose to make next. Blame the Sacred continue to grow as writers and musicians; which is a good thing for the future of metal.
"The Exiled" and "Violence" are due out on September 7th
