Sanctity ( ger .: Holiness ) was an American thrash metal band from Asheville , North Carolina .
history
The band was formed in 2000 by guitarist Zeff Childres and bassist Jeremy London. Both know each other from early childhood and played in different bands during their high school days . Since both were dissatisfied with the music of these bands, they decided to form their own band. London switched from bass to drums. The band played a few concerts where they met their singer Jared MacEachern . Since the band was looking for a singer, MacEachern decided to leave college and joined the band.
The band wrote their own songs and produced two EPs on their own. In 2005 alone the band played 190 concerts and shared the stage with bands such as Fear Factory , Mastodon , Nile , Still Remains and Trivium . Its singer Matthew Heafy recommended the band to the Roadrunner - A&R Monte Conner. Sanctity sent their two EPs to Conner along with a DVD they had put together . He liked the music and asked the band for a demo , which was produced by Jason Suecof (including Trivium). To finance the recordings, the band played a benefit concert. Conner was impressed and asked the band for more songs. After a second demo, Conner finally signed the band.
Bassist Billy Moody left the band before recording their debut album Road to Bloodshed . He was replaced by Derek Anderson. The album was released on April 20, 2007. In April / May 2007 Sanctity went on tour through Europe with Trivium and Annihilator . A year later MacEachern and Anderson left the band. The band later broke up.
In June 2013, singer Jared MacEachern joined Machine Head as the new bass player and second singer .
