Chained Saint Drop Debut Single "Animosity"
We have the pleasure of introducing to you all a new teen metal band from South Florida, Chained Saint who released their debut single Animosity last week. From the start of their single, you knew you’re in a for a real treat that brings you back to old-school 80’s thrash metal with a modern twist all their own. Brutal, raw, exciting, fresh, with a metallic sound that leaves you anticipating their next release and for their debut album Blindside set to be released in late August 2024 via Patriark Records. They capture the essence of what the youth of today struggle with and perfectly get their point across in such a nostalgic way beyond their years. While listening, you can hear hints of early Metallica, Pantera, Slayer, and many other great trash metal bands.
Comprised of four high school students — Ethan Kahn (17, guitar), Sebastian De Avila (18, bass), Cameron Cottrell (19, drums) and Sean Sterling (18, vocals) — Chained Saint represent the latest generation pushing back with justifiable fury against the harsh realities of an unforgiving world.
"We are super hyped to release our debut single, 'Animosity,' and thrilled for the world to hear our music finally. We're also beyond grateful for everyone involved with the launch. We wouldn't have picked another song to mark the beginning of our journey as Chained Saint."
Blindside, produced by William DuVall of Alice In Chains, focuses that fury into a powerfully concise, eight-song LP. The album was recorded and mixed to analog tape with no computers involved whatsoever in the recording sessions. No AI. No studio trickery. No bullshit. Just real riffs made by real players. The end result is a ferocious set of performances that maintain the essential "tight-but-loose" naturalness of four musicians bashing it out in the same room together — a quality too often lacking in today’s digitally-driven musical landscape.
