Corners of Sanctuary release "Crazy Horses" new video

Traditional American Heavy Metal band Corners of Sanctuary (COS) have released a new video for their latest cover single, “Crazy Horses.” The band’s take on the 1972 Osmonds’ classic is a modern supercharged version, highlighting the song’s original rock appeal.

“This song was a milestone in The Osmonds’ catalog, in my opinion,” said COS guitarist Mick Michaels. “It’s always been a song that has had so much power and drive to it, but never got the recognition it deserved from the rock community… we wanted to honor that in our way.”

“Crazy Horses” appears on the digital only EP, “Taking Cover,” available on SODEH Records. “Taking Cover” is COS’ collection of cover songs. The EP officially released on August 15 th and is available on most popular streaming platforms.

Corners of Sanctuary (COS) is a New Wave of Traditional American Heavy Metal band that emerged from Philadelphia in 2011, driven by a passion to revive the essence of Classic Heavy Metal. In 2012, they unveiled their debut album, “Breakout,” which garnered positive reception. This success was swiftly followed by the release of “Harlequin” in 2013 through Pure Steel Records in Germany. Later that same year, their third album, “Axe to Grind,” hit the shelves under La Mazakuata Records in Mexico. In 2014, “Axe to Grind” received a re-release in Europe courtesy of Pure Steel Records. COS inked a deal with Metalizer Records in Germany in 2015, leading to the critically acclaimed album “Metal Machine,” mastered by Stu “The Hammer” Marshall, guitarist and producer of Death Dealer.

Corners of Sanctuary has graced stages across the United States, Europe, and the UK, sharing the spotlight with renowned artists such as Saxon, Anvil, Stryper, U.D.O., Butcher Babies, Grim Reaper, and many more. Their impressive roster of performances includes collaborations with notable figures like Tim “Ripper” Owens, Tracii Guns, Enuff ‘Z Nuff, Joey Belladonna (Anthrax), and Damon Johnson.

In 2018, COS unleashed “The Galloping Hordes” on Killer Metal Records (Germany), a remarkable album mastered by the legendary producer Bill Metoyer (Slayer, W.A.S.P., Armored Saint, Fates Warning). That same year, they embarked on a European tour and a subsequent US West Coast tour. The band commenced work on their upcoming album, “Heroes Never Die,” scheduled for release in 2020. 2019 witnessed COS supporting Bulletboys, Grim Reaper, Blaze Bayley, Last in Line, Janet Gardner, and the Iron Maidens, and gracing the stage of the iconic Whiskey A Go-Go.

As 2019 drew to a close, COS delighted their fans with three EP releases: “Hold onto Christmas,” “Metal Brigade” (on 7″ vinyl), and “What We Leave Behind.”

In June 2020, COS signed with RFL Records (US) and unveiled their album “Heroes Never Die” in October 2020. The band remained active in 2021, releasing “Blood and Steel: Volumes One and Volume Two” and the album “Fight Till the End” across digital, CD, and Vinyl platforms.

Throughout 2022, COS shared stages with Canedy, Doyle, Tantric, the Iron Maidens, Trapt, and made a notable appearance at SonarFest.
