The torch-bearers of the New Wave of British Death Metal

Formed late 2019 in Cambridge, England, by Tomas Cronin (Vocals & Guitar) with James Burke (Drums), Jim Rutterford (Bassh and Matt Adnett (Guitar) rounding out the line up - Celestial Sanctuary are a feral, primal and modern death metal band with their own message about the destructive nature of humankind. Whilst wearing their old school Death Metal influences on their sleeve, they are by no means a throwback nostalgia act, but the beginning of The New Wave Of British Death Metal. After stating their intent with the Mass Extinction demo, Celestial Sanctuary launched straight into writing and recording their debut full length which will be unleashed March 26th 2021 via Redefining Darkness/Church Road Records (Vinyl/CD) Sewer Rot Records (Cassette). The band's debut full length, Soul Diminished, tells the story of a soul trapped in a vessel of a body, gaining consciousness. Over the course of the album they becomes aware their sentience is a hell they must suffer as they realize their existence is predetermined and their fate already sealed by a disgusting, faceless entity....a shapeless master. The being's sanity deteriorates as they descend into madness.
