Celestial Sanctuary have premiered a new video for their new song “Lashed By Chain.” You can check that out below. The track is from their new album, “Cradle Of The Rotten, Shrine To Those Most Foul,” which will be released on January 22.
Vocalist/guitarist Tom Cronin commented:
âThis was the first song to be written for this album and an immediate statement of intent for what to expect. Tight, fast riffing, a brutal slam that jumps out of the shadows to piledrive you into oblivion and a big dual guitar solo that wouldnât sound out of place in a Maiden tune. The lyrics follow the story of a knight who has one hand crossed with gold and riches, and the other with iron symbolizing that heâs sold his destiny to fight an unwinnable war. The theme treads the line of yearning to return to the things you love, the drive to survive, and the cruelty of false hope â being driven to survive in the most hopeless of times. Donât be fooled⊠there is nothing positive about this and there is no happy ending.
Musically, we wanted to channel a tighter rhythmic sound on this record. We really wanted to push the limit of what we could do with syncopated riffs and sudden time signature changes.
We wanted to make a video that felt real, gritty and tactile. As a video producer by trade, I see a lot of videos that feel like an afterthought, so we took a considered approach with every element of the video. As I was directing and producing it myself, I felt a responsibility to make this as fucking cool as I possibly could.
We filmed it in a 9th century, deconsecrated church that was built on a burial site in Englandâs first city. We composed every shot of us playing meticulously and complimented that with high contrast lighting to match the colours in the animation and album artwork. We shot, graded and edited in such a way so you can feel the energy and aggression of our performance pouring out of your screen and into your face!
When it came to the animation element of the video, we purposely wanted something tangible, so we worked with Ben Amos Cooper to create visuals that compliment James Bousemaâs album artwork in their own way. While they each have their own identity, the two are so undeniably entwined.â

Yungblud has released a live version of “Zombie” featuring Billy Corgan (The Smashing Pumpkins). The track was recorded during a July 30 show at the Riviera Theatre in Chicago, IL. You can find footage of the performance below:
During a recent appearance on the Lipps Service podcast, Andrew Watt claimed he almost got to produce a final Black Sabbath album. However, drummer Bill Ward “wasn’t able to do it.”
Watt said the following:
“So what happened there was we had made these two Ozzy [Osbourne] albums [‘Ordinary Man’ and ‘Patient Number 9’], and Ozzy wanted to make another album. [He] didn’t wanna do exactly the same thing that we had done before, so he was into the idea of doing a Sabbath album. So [Ozzy’s wife and manager] Sharon and him said I had to call and talk to each guy and see if they were into it. So I called Tony [Iommi], talked to him, and he said he was into it, as long as Bill [Ward] was there. That was everyone’s thing. Ozzy was, like, ‘If Bill does it, we’ll do it.’ And Geezer [Butler] said, ‘If the other guys are in it, I’m in to do it.’ So I had this 40-minute call with Bill, which was one of the weirdest and funniest phone calls just ever, of all time. It was on the phone. But it was personal things that were talked about on that phone call that made Ozzy and Sharon crack up. It’s, like, an inside joke. Long story short, it ended up that Bill was not gonna be able to make the record. Like, he wasn’t able to do it for a multitude of different reasons. So that’s why that didn’t happen. But the other guys were all into doing it. And then Bill sent us all this long e-mail, and then it was over.”
This news comes after Iommi previously claimed he “didn’t like the idea” of a new album.
Slash was recently presented with this year’s “Les Paul Spirit Award.” The guitarist was honored during an October 5 event at the Les Paul Recording Studio at Universal Master Recordings in Hollywood, CA.
Slash commented:
“Les was so much more than a great guitarist and innovator. He was an actual inventor who changed the instrument itself, built groundbreaking recording equipment and completely reimagined how artists could record music. I feel incredibly lucky that I got to know him, hang out with him and play music with him. I cherish the relationship we had, and receiving an award that carries his name and spirit is a tremendous honor.”
Michael Braunstein, executive director of the Les Paul Foundation, also added:
“We are honored to present the Les Paul Spirit Award to Slash this year. He and Les shared a special friendship and often jammed together when they could. Not only does Slash exemplify the creativity and curiosity Les had during his life, but he is also an extraordinary talent and a wonderful supporter of the Les Paul Foundation. If Les were still alive today, Slash and he would be jamming onstage together somewhere regularly.”
Eternal have signed with BLKIIBLK. The band’s new album will be released through the label in 2027.
Vocalist/guitarist Emilio Ortega commented:
âWe looked beyond our direct influences, tracing things backwards to what inspired the bands that inspired us and finding ways to make those ideas our own. Weâre pushing ourselves further than we have before. Weâre incredibly proud of where itâs going. Weâre excited to be sharing this with a new label partner but most importantly, our fans.â
Mike Gitter, head of A&R for BLKIIBLK, added:
ââCryptic Lustâ was an undeniable record, and the band backed it up live, no question. Theyâre worshippers of the classic Morrisound sound that is part of the foundation of death metal itself, but thatâs just the beginning. Eternal understand riffs; they understand songs and, most importantly, they know how to write the classics like very few of their contemporaries can even approach.â
