Chained Saint

Born in a South Florida garage in the summer of 2022, Chained Saint's debut album, Blindside, combines the raw, organic riffery of the best old-school ‘80s thrash metal with a dash of modern-day brutality befitting the many challenges confronting the youth of 2024. The past and present collide, resulting in modern, metallic maelstrom made by a bunch of kids who play with fire in their veins — and their hands!

Comprised of four high school students —Ethan Kahn 17 (guitar), Sebastian De Avila 18 (bass), Cameron Cottrell 18, (drums) and Sean Sterling 18 (vocals) —
Chained Saint represent the latest generation pushing back with justifiable fury against the harsh realities of an unforgiving world.

Blindside, produced by William DuVall of Alice In Chains, focuses that fury into a powerfully concise, eight-song LP. The album was recorded and mixed to analog tape with no computers involved whatsoever in the recording sessions. No AI. No studio trickery. No bullshit. Just real riffs made by real players.

The end result is a ferocious set of performances that maintain the essential “tight-but-loose” naturalness of four musicians bashing it out in the same room together — a quality too often lacking in today’s digitally-driven musical landscape.

Chained Saint’s first single, “Animosity,” was released July 12th and can currently be heard on SiriusXM Liquid Metal. In addition, “Animosity” is the theme song for the WWE 2K24 video game Downloadable Content 4 Trailer. Chained Saint’s second single “Stronger Than Stone (Blindside) dropped August 2nd, followed by “Neanderthal” and the debut album Blindside dropped August 23rd, via Patriark Records.
