CORNERS OF SANCTUARY Announce New Singer

Traditional heavy metal rockers CORNERS OF SANCTUARY (COS) have parted ways with singer Frankie Cross and announce the recruitment of new female vocalist Treese Logan.

"The band is moving into new directions. There's a lot more ground we intend to cover," said COS founder and guitarist, Mick Michaels. "Bringing Treese on as lead singer opens up the band to new possibilities and heights. We are very excited about this next chapter," he added.

“I‘m beyond thrilled to get to play hard and heavy with these boys and honored to get to contribute and grow with such talent and dedication,” said new COS lead singer Treese Logan in her initial public statement. “I cannot wait to get to work and build on what we will become together!” Logan added.

The announcement comes on the heels of the band's recent single release "Dreams" which features singer Kayla Marie from Powerless Rise. "We knew a change was coming, so we wanted to test the waters with a female vocalist fronting COS," Michaels said. "Having a guest singer for Dreams gave us that chance and the results were better than we imagined," he continued.

And even with the announcement of a new singer, the band has released a new music video for "Dreams" that includes Kayla Marie.

"It's a great song. A new video just made sense," said drummer and the song’s co-writer Mad T. "The video is definitely a heavy conceptual piece. Adding a few more layers to the song's meaning," he continued.

Additionally, the band's latest album, "The Galloping Hordes,” is still planned for release; however, no release date has yet been set.

"It's a great album and there's no reason why it shouldn't see the light of day," explained bassist James Pera. "We decided to shop for a new record label and see what's available to us. So we are definitely not in a rush. The whole situation puts us in a very unique position with a new album with an old singer, a new single and video with a guest singer and upcoming shows and a tour with a new singer. It's crazy, it's nuts, but that's rock n roll," added Pera.

The band has already begun working on a new single to release later this Fall introducing the fans to Treese and begin the next phase of their musical career. “It’s always a blessing to be able to continue to further a dream, to find unopened doors,” said Michaels. “We are truly grateful for everyone’s support,” he added.

Corners of Sanctuary will be heading to Southern California this November for the American Metal Mayhem Tour presented by Metal Babe Mayhem. "I am super stoked that Corners of Sanctuary will be out on the West Coast this November. We kick things off at the legendary Rainbow Bar & Grill on November 6th," said MBM owner Alison “MetalBabe” Cohen. Additional shows include dates at the World Famous Doll Hut in Anaheim and Malone’s House of Metal in Santa Ana.
