As the second single from COS’s Forever Metal EP which released earlier this year, “Broken Paradise” shows another side of a band that has come to be known for its uniquely classic but original Heavy Metal sound and style. Walking a blurred line of Metal, Alternative, and Punk, Corners of Sanctuary delivers a hauntingly melodic rocker with this latest single, demonstrating that the depth of the band’s songwriting is not limited to solely genre-specific classifications or past catalog expectations.
“Broken Paradise” pushes boundaries, raises the bar, and blows the lid off of standards of musical assumptions.
“We definitely took a different route with this track,” says COS founder and guitarist Mick Michaels. “Sometimes you just have to take another way up the mountain to get a better view.”
“Broken Paradise” is now available via SODEH Records. Forever Metal CDs are available exclusively on the band’s official website through Sonic Velocity Records. An audio visualizer video also accompanies the release and is currently streaming on Youtube.

“Broken Paradise slaps you in the face with an Armageddon slice of the apocalypse,” says COS vocalist Frankie Cross. “The song touches on strong emotions within our current climate, while catapulting you into a horror story of a future revolution. Faith, violence, political and social upheaval…you will feel alive!”

Corners of Sanctuary is currently celebrating the bands 10-year anniversary release of 2015’s Metal Machine album. A CD reissue is planned to be made available during the coming holiday season. Earlier this year, the band’s debut album, Breakout, was also reissued on CD which included all new recordings, mixes, and masters. Additionally, 2026 marks COS’s 15-year anniversary, which will also see the release of a book chronicling the band’s history.
“Corners of Sanctuary ignite the Metal World with ‘Broken Paradise,’ an fierce 80s-style Heavy Metal assault!”
