Hey guys what's up? Soul Sanctuary's Lead Guitarist (Ed Stevens) was featured in this month's edition of Total Guitar Magazine (Issue #190) Competeing for Guitarist of the Year and a chance to play the UK's biggest metal festival "Download 2010" here is the artical in full.

GUITAR WARS
With two vocalists, two guitarist, bass and drums Soul Sanctuary are less a band and more an invading army of metal. TG approached Ed Stevens with well-padded ear defenders.

Style
"I've got a metal-blues thing going on," says Ed. "Anothony Montague (co-guitarist) and i do inversions of the same chords to make use of having 2 guitars."

Influences
Ed namechecks Kirk Hammett, Whitesnake's John Sykes, Eddie Van Halen, Zakk Wylde and Dave Murray. "I don't use a lot of picking," he expains, "I do a lot of legato, so that's where the Dave Murray thing comes in."

Ambitions
Ed strives for sonic perfection. "Our music is all self-produced, so we're always going back and remixing tracks. We're always remixing stuff to get it to where we want it to be."

Gear
Surprisingly for a metal guitarist, Ed experiments with guitar synths. "On the track Destiny, I use the Roland GR-20 to play it live. I'll also use it to create pads and play string parts for ballards." When he wants to crank it up, Ed fires his ESP into a whopping 500 watts of Line 6 heads.

hey guys hows everybody doing?

 

we recently recived a piece of fan art and thought it would be a great idea to sort out a section on our myspace dedicated to anything you want to send us.

so if you like our stuff (or even if you fucking hate it) and feel a bit creative send us something to express your feelings about our music. can be anything you want from hand drawn pics of strange creatures from the darkest regions of your subconsious to photos of your body parts and soul sanctuary tatooed to your ass cheeks and destroying expensive musical instruments... totally your choice.

all the best and hope to see some great stuff from you guys soon x

p.s. once we have enough fan art we will dedicate a slide show on the front page.

Hi,

I Finally Decided to put the lyrics for the songs together on the blog so please don't hold back lol, i was thinking of including meanings along with this because the songs aren't quite as literal as they might seem, but i thought that would spoil your fun of trying to guess and making up your own mind what they mean to you. coz at the end of the day thats what matters, it's what the music means to you!

so please enjoy and would love to here your thoughts - good or bad! thanx

Cauterized

The story starts the story ends nothing left but to pretend
we never loved nothings here the memory will just disappear
born to live, lived to die, but never truly alive
your convictions ensure nothing will survive

and as your world falls apart i will stand here and laugh
and when the world is no more you will see somethings are worth fighting for

a new day a new way to place the blame once more you know
were reaching for the sun, (it burns my eyes)
do you care my nightmares show i never learned to read between the lines?
my wounds have healed (their cauterized)

the light of mankind buried for eternity
under 6 feet of pain and loneliness
so fill your hearts with remorse and empathy
as i unfold this tale of pathetic tragedy


and when the world is no more you will see somethings are worth fighting for

a new day a new way to place the blame once more you know
were reaching for the sun, (it burns my eyes)
do you care my nightmares show i never learned to read between the lines?
my wounds have healed (their cauterized)

and as your world falls apart i will stand here and laugh
and when the world is no more you will see somethings are worth fighting for

a new day a new way to place the blame once more you know
were reaching for the sun, we will survive!

a new day a new way to place the blame once more you know
were reaching for the sun, (it burns my eyes)
do you care my nightmares show i never learned to read between the lines?
my wounds have healed (their cauterized)

a new day a new way to place the blame once more you know
were reaching for the sun, (it burns my eyes)
do you care my nightmares show i never learned to read between the lines?
my wounds have healed (their cauterized)

 

Scars Of You

Come ON!
As i kneel at the shallow grave of the stranger i used to be,
i wash thy hands in the blood of pride and vanity
and where a heart once beat lies a stone so cold it could freeze the fires of hell
this is were we close the book because there's no more stories to tell

you helped me kill the man that i used to be
I'm dead inside

These are the reasons i wont justify
this world you built of twisted lies
and in my memories i can see the truth
there to remind me of the scars of you

is it hopeless to try and change what just wasnt ment to be?
or should i just accept this fate ive been handed as my destiny?

These are the reasons i wont justify
this world you built of twisted lies
and in my memories i can see the truth
there to remind me of the scars of you

These are the reasons i wont justify
this world you built of twisted lies
and in my memories i can see the truth
there to remind me of the scars of you

Heart Attack

Is God is willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then He is not omnipotent.
Is He is able, but not willing?
Then He is malevolent.
Is god both able and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?
Is He is neither able nor willing?
Then why call Him God?

The suffering, caused by every broken promise.
a fallen angel born with broken wings
a majestic lie without an ounce of truth and in this moment,
heaven starts to swallow you!

so many years i believed in you, (the lies you told)
you decived me to my face
but never again will i trust in you (trust in you)
and i won't shed my tears for your... Heart attack

In loving memory of those soon to pass
rejoice in the regrets of this worthless soul
your faith has forsaken you, but i forsake my faith
and with a dying breath i hear you cry in vain
forgive me god!

so many years i believed in you, (the lies you told)
you decived me to my face
but never again will i trust in you (trust in you)
and i won't shed my tears for your... Heart attack

Heart attack
Your time is over now, your life is up...
Your life is over now, your time is.....

Your time is!
Your time is!

NOW!!!

so many years i believed in you, (the lies you told)
you decived me to my face
but never again will i trust in you (trust in you)
and i won't shed my tears for your... Heart attack

I said i don't believe in you, rest in peace, now and forever (father)
I said i don't believe in you, (Save me)
Rest in peace.

Escape

Well I've Run A thousand miles and I'd run a thousand more
but i only seem to retrace these steps that i have walked before
so i keep on running away, away from everything
so i keep on running away, i've got to escape
so i keep on running, away from everything
so i keep on running! I've got to escape
coz I! I'm so alone and I! I must let go!

Well It Seems like this life is becoming way to much,
because i seem to destroy everything i touch
so i keep on running away, away from everything
so i keep on running away, i've got to escape
so i keep on running, away from everything
so i keep on running! I've got to escape
coz I! I'm so alone and I! I must let go!
coz I! I'm so alone (and now i justify the sacrifice of everything i've ever known) and I! I must let go!
(forget this forsaken soul i bare this cross on my own)

You will avenge me
Vengeance shall be mine
You will avenge me
Vengeance shall be mine
You will avenge me
Vengeance shall be mine
You will avenge me
Vengeance shall be mine

You Face Me! With your! Ignorance
I bring you back down with my vengeance
You Face Me! With your! Ignorance
I bring you back down with my vengeance
Die!
Move!

well i just wanted to say things are all good in the land of the sanctuary, our new members have brought the band on leaps and bounds, most certainly our new lead guitarist edd stevens, who i am in due course ment to replace the photo of old lead guitarist with said new one, but photoshops a pain in the ass so it has been delayed.

so just a brief hello to say hope your enjoying the new tracks, and hope to hear you thoughts. keep rocking and much love
