SACRO SANCTUS "Liber III: Codex Templarum" details.

 

Seasoned Maltese heavy metal purveyor Albert Bell (FORSAKEN, NOMAD SON, Malta Doom Metal festival) sounds the clarion of battle once more with his third installment in the SACRO SANCTUS Templar trilogy. "Liber III: Codex Templarum" is released on September 5th by Metal on Metal Records and focuses on the Order of 13's fate following their coerced dissolution including their alleged involvement in insurrections against despotic rule in Scotland and the Alpine lands in the 14th century, and the Knights' links with various secret societies. Templar myth and historical facts are combined to masterful effect again as Albert unleashes riff upon riff of feral old school blackened heavy metal. Handling the vocals, bass and rhythm guitar, he was this time joined by drummer Steve Lombardo and guitarist Owen Grech, one of the island's most talented shredders. The musical influences of SACRO SANCTUS include VENOM, early CELTIC FROST, mid-era BATHORY, MOTORHEAD, SABBAT (UK), ROOT, TÖRR, later ZEMIAL and SAINT VITUS, to name but a few.
