SACRO SANCTUS "Liber III: Codex Templarum" details.

And our third September release is the new album by the project of Albert Bell, the seasoned Maltese heavy metal purveyor (FORSAKEN, NOMAD SON, Malta Doom Metal festival) who sounds the clarion of battle once more with his third installment in the SACRO SANCTUS Templar trilogy, "Liber III: Codex Templarum". This time, the story focuses on the Order of 13's fate following their coerced dissolution including their alleged involvement in insurrections against despotic rule in Scotland and the Alpine lands in the 14th century, and the Knights' links with various secret societies. Templar myth and historical facts are combined to masterful effect again as Albert unleashes riff upon riff of feral old school blackened heavy metal. Handling the vocals, bass and rhythm guitar, he was now joined by drummer Steve Lombardo and guitarist Owen Grech, one of the island's most talented shredders. The musical influences of Albert Bell's SACRO SANCTUS include VENOM, early CELTIC FROST, mid-era BATHORY, MOTORHEAD, SABBAT (UK), ROOT, TÖRR, later ZEMIAL and SAINT VITUS, to name but a few.

Check out a brand new track "Into the Pyre" and a lyric video for "Order of 13" on our YouTube channel.
