5.0 out of 5 stars Thrash metal, North Carolina-style , April 25, 2007

By	Michael "F*** off!" (FL United States) - See all my reviews

After viewing their first music video Zeppo a year ago, there was no question that there'd be a lot of buzz about Sanctity. A year and several shows later touring with Trivium, Black Label Society, Megadeth, Lamb Of God, Arch Enemy, Into Eternity, Opeth and many others, their debut album is finally out. First off, I gotta say that this cd breathes old school thrash in the same vein as Anthrax, Megadeth, and Testament. Not that there is anything wrong with Trivium's last album The Crusade (I liked it), but this may be for some of those that felt disappointed. There's a lot to like about this record. Nothing real fancy. Just skull-crushing metal.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not a bad debut, October 24, 2007

By	N. Soucy (Columbia, MO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I picked up Road to Bloodshed blindly. I had never even heard of Sanctity before I bought their album. They know how to play their instruments and quite a few of the melodies are catchy. I find myself singing "Beneath the Machine" amd "Zeppo" at work sometimes without even realizing it. I don't really feel much connection to the music, however. I am not convinced, I don't buy it. There is no real emotion I share with the music. I think they are trying a little too hard to be tough and thrashy and the message of the music is getting lost. Plus the lyrical content is pretty bland stuff. Road to Bloodshed... great album to get pumped for a football game or keep you alert on a long drive. It is not enough to quench your musical appetite it will leave you feeling a little unsatisfied. Hopefully a sophomore effort by these guys will have a little more emotional impact.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great band.....great album, October 19, 2007

This album was a great surpise. I had never heard of Sanctity but when i heard they were opening a Black Label Society i was going to i looked up their myspace page and gave a listen. I was impressed and after seeing them in concert (they were awesome), i purchased their album. I have to say, this bamd was a nice surprise. Nice tight songs, good guitar and i am happy to hear a heavy band that doesnt use the crappy cookie monster vocal style so popular now. This is a great album and highly recomended if you enjoy Metallica, Testament and Megadeth. Pick this one up.
