INTRODUCING CHAINED SAINT
TEEN METAL BAND WITH MAJOR CHOPS PREMIERES VIDEO FOR DEBUT SINGLE “ANIMOSITY” AT CHORUS.FM — WATCH
Born in a South Florida garage back in the summer of 2022, Chained Saint‘s forthcoming debut album, Blindside, combines the raw, organic riffery of the best old-school ’80s thrash metal with a dash of modern-day brutality befitting the many challenges confronting the youth of 2024. The past and present collide, resulting in modern, metallic maelstrom made by a bunch of kids who play with fire in their veins — and their hands!
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.
Today, they share the video for their debut single “Animosity.” It premiered over at Chorus.FM. Watch it here and here.
“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.
Blindside arrives in late August 2024 via Patriark Records.
