  
Back in September 2012 Sacred Mother Tongue released
a 4 track EP called ‘a Light Shines’
which happened to be their first new music in
over three years and was instantly a hit leaving
their fans wanting more, now six months on Sacred
Mother Tongue are ready to unleash their new studio
album ‘Out Of The Darkness’ on the
world.
The album opens with the thunderous ‘Demons’
which oozes in instrumental trickery at the beginning,
yet it is the machine gun style drumming and fast
paced guitar riffs which hit at the 46 second
mark when you realise that the next 45minutes
are going to be a pleasure, seconds later Darrin
Smiths beautifully unique vocals come in and seal
the deal in melodic fashion, whilst the band solidly
jam together with guitar solos coming and going
throughout.
If you managed to check out the bands EP ‘A
Light Shines’ when it was released back
in September then you will have already heard
4 of the tracks on the album as ‘Evolve/Become’,
‘Seven’, ‘Bleeding Out’
and ‘The City Crying’ are featured
on both releases, if you have not already heard
the EP then you are in for a treat as all 4 songs
are solid sounding slices of metal excellence
with ‘Evolve/Become’ standing out
the most due to the powerful chorus which Darrin
Smith lays down.
‘Pawn’ is a fast paced song which
is vocally different from the rest of the tracks
on the album, ‘A Light Will Shine’
features guitar riffs that come at you like a
monstrous whirlwind, whilst the album closer ‘Believe’
see’s Sacred Mother Tongue tone things down
ever so slightly and go out in a radio friendly
way.
‘Out Of The Darkness’ is a massive
release for Sacred Mother Tongue and is easily
one of the most important UK metal album releases
of the year as it is not every day that a UK band
as solid as Sacred mother Tongue come on the scene
and cause a such a hype, Sacred Mother Tongue
are currently on tour with Ill Nino and are booked
up to play many shows throughout the year including
Download festival and now ‘Out Of The Darkness’
is due for release in just over a week things
are certainly looking up for this super talented
4 piece.
Sacred Mother Tongue are unlike any other band
on the scene at the moment so if you like your
metal music filled with super fast jamming, guitar
solos aplenty, melodic vocals and a big radio
friendly finish then check out ‘Out Of The
Darkness’ right away.
4.5/5
