TEEN METAL BAND CHAINED SAINT ANNOUNCE RISE TO FALL EPFIVE-SONG EP OUT OCTOBER 9
BAND RELEASES “SNAKESKIN” LYRIC VIDEO — WATCH + LISTEN
Florida teen metal sensation CHAINED SAINT — comprised of Ethan Kahn (guitar), Sebastian De Avila (bass), Cameron Cottrell (drums) and Sean Sterling (vocals) — just returned from slaying stages in Europe for the first time ever. They spent July and August supporting Slaughter to Prevail after the two bands bonded during last year’s Louder Than Life when Chained Saint’s set was canceled due to inclement weather and Slaughter to Prevail invited Sterling onstage to join them onstage for one of their songs.
Today, the band announces RISE TO FALL — a new EP the band self-produced alongside Rob Roy at Power Station Studios. The five-song effort further shows off their punk and thrash influences. Additionally, the EP cover art was hand-drawn by Kahn.
The EP arrives October 9 via all DSPs.
Chained Saint have also shared the lyric video for new single “SNAKESKIN.” Watch and listen here.
“‘Snakeskin’ feels like the beginning of the next chapter for Chained Saint,” the band says. “We’ve grown a lot since Blindside, as musicians, as songwriters, and especially from being out on the road and playing these songs in front of people. One thing we keep getting asked after shows is how we describe our sound, and we still don’t really have a perfect answer. It’s just…us. There’s thrash, hardcore, and groove all living in the same place, and that combination has become a much bigger part of who we are as a band.”
The band continues, “With this new material, we leaned into that even more, the speed, riffs and aggression of thrash, the weight and raw energy of hardcore, and the kind of groove that makes the songs hit differently live. We started pushing further into that fusion naturally, without trying to force it into one specific lane. The new EP is heavier, more aggressive and more focused, while still keeping the classic metal foundation that’s always been part of who we are. ‘Snakeskin’ is the first real look at that evolution and where Chained Saint is headed next, and we couldn’t be more excited for people to hear what’s coming.”
