New York trio Sanhedrin will release their long-awaited new studio album, “Heat Lightning”, on March 14th, 2025, via Metal Blade Records. Sanhedrin has spent the last decade at the forefront of the American heavy metal scene blending traditional metal and hard rock sounds with a fresh modern energy and perspective.
With 2022’s critically lauded “Lights On” full-length, the band had created their most complete work to date. With their follow-up, “Heat Lightning”, the band delivers a diverse collection of songs that wholly captures their wide array of influences with an elevated level of production.
“Sonically, there’s no comparison”, notes drummer Nathan Honor, when asked how “Heat Lightning” compares to the band’s previous efforts. “Heat Lightning is the fullest representation of the power of this band. When you take three seasoned musicians with their favorite handpicked instruments, put them in front of two brilliant producer/engineers in a studio stacked with incredible equipment and no outside distractions, this is what you get”.
Unlike the previous three albums, which were all tracked and mixed by Colin Marston, for “Heat Lightning” Sanhedrin opted to work with a fresh set of ears in a new environment. In doing so, the band landed at the legendary Utopia Bearsville studio in Woodstock, New York. At the helm for recording and co-producing were Matt Brown (Life Of Agony, A Pale Horse Named Death) and Jerry Farley (Sick Of It All, Madball)…
