This latest EP, Forever Metal, continues to showcase COS’ unconditional commitment to forging the classic sound of Heavy Metal with their unique brand of style and sound for modern audiences. Past, present, future… Corners of Sanctuary are Forever Metal.
“We have always liked what we do and how we do it…we don’t see a need to deviate from that,” says COS founder and guitar Mick Michaels. “Audiences seem to like what we do…and they’ve always been our gauge. So it works for us.“
“Never Count Me Out” is included on the EP, “Forever Metal.” CD copies are now available for purchase. A limited number of autographed CDs are currently being shipped.
Additionally, the title track of the new EP, “Forever Metal,” stands as COS’ homage to the late Grim Reaper vocalist, Steve Grimmett, and features guest guitarists Steve Stine (Guitar Zoom) and Ian Nash. Both guitarists performed with Grimmett’s more recent versions of Grim Reaper.
“We had the opportunity to open for Grim Reaper a few times over the years,” Michaels said. “Steve always remembered us and treated us well. We also had the privilege to work with Steve on the first Hear ‘n Now single back in 2020. This is our way of properly saying goodbye.”
“A great slice of Metal in honor of one of the finest vocalists of the genre,” added guitarist Nash. “I’m very pleased to have been able to play a small part in this project put together by a great and genuine bunch of people.”
“I am thankful to have had an opportunity to contribute guitar to a song by Corners of Sanctuary that honors Steve Grimmett, a legendary singer, and one of my best friends,” commented guitarist Stine.
Corners of Sanctuary have a number of new projects slated for 2025, including a CD only re-releases of the band’s first album, “Breakout” (2012) as well as published biography and CD only re-issue of the album, “Metal Machine” (2015). 2025 marks the ten year anniversary of the album’s release. All CD releases will include updated recordings and all new mixes and masterings of the original track listings along with some bonus material.
