Sacrosanct - 'Avenging Angel' (official music video)
On through the mist unfolding you rise
Mesmerized, guarding lost in eve alone
Ravendark the glance in your eyes
On a gate of your grief and marble stone
Shine a light on this crumbling wall
Of weeping rivers dry
Shadowcast upon your heartline
Do ascend, release your hair and let it fly
Send it shining through our nighttime
I will catch it with sunset in my eye
Thus speaking in tongues of destruction -
Wind of loss
Is spreading far to us
And sweeping through the dust
A call of retribution cross the earth
Fly high Avenging Angel!
Broken frames and scattered glass
As leaves in the fall
Wither with man to image of none
Leaving their light of silvery dark
For all of us who’s seeking the sun
Saw you passing by as you fell
You put one of your feathers in my hand
Sculptured sorrow pleading to tell
So that my soul would hear and understand
Thus speaking in tongues of destruction -
A wind of loss
Is spreading far to us
And sweeping through the dust
A call of retribution cross the earth
Fly high Avenging Angel!

Το 1988, λίγους μήνες μετά την κυκλοφορία του ντεμπούτου των Pestilence ("Malleus Maleficarum"), ο κιθαρίστας της μπάντας Randy Meinhard δημιούργησε τους Sacrosanct, οι οποίοι παρέμειναν ενεργοί μέχρι το 1994 κυκλοφορώντας ένα demo, τρεις full length δίσκους και συμμετείχαν στην συλλογή "This Stuff's 2 Loud 4 U" μαζί με τους Haggard, Torchure, Panacea, Slack Suckers, Dancin' Dead.
Προ επταετίας η μπάντα επαναδραστηριοποιήθηκε και "έβγαλε" ένα ακόμη album ("Necropolis" 2018) και ένα single ("Avenging Angel"). Εν έτει 2025 οι Sacrosanct επιστρέφουν δισκογραφικά με το πέμπτο full length album, το οποίο φέρει τον τίτλο "Kidron" και αναμένεται στις αρχές του πρώτου μήνα της άνοιξης του νέου έτους...
