I made my second ever trip to Saint Vitus on Friday night. It was an unqualified success in large part because the people who know these things were one hundred percent correct that Sannhet is a band not to be missed. This was the release party for their new record Known Flood, which also happens to be the first release from the new record label Sacrament, established by the folks from Saint Vitus. And what an auspicious debut. At the Friday show, Sannhet played virtually the entire new album in set that was stunning for both its instrumental precision and the crowd’s ultimate response — a chorus of breathless “wows” when the set was over. Sannhet’s music certainly has some resemblance to black metal, but with the projector videos accompanying the music and its dramatic effect, I was reminded not so much of anything metal but of bands such as Godspeed and their post-rock ilk. Ultimately Sannhet is “post-metal”, but regardless of the label, this is powerful music worth seeing as often as possible.
I recorded this set with the Sennheiser cards mounted in front of the soundboard and mixed with a mono board feed. The sound is superb, enjoy!
Deafheaven was also recorded and will be posted in the next few days.
