Known for their high-energy, driving rock music, Outer Sanctum is a Christian band based in Indianapolis, Indiana. Guitar-driven with face-melting rock, their sound has been compared to that of RED, Breaking Benjamin, and Decyfer Down.
The group was formed in 2008 with a very specific goal – to make a positive difference in the world through a genre of music all too often laced with negative and even destructive connotations. Armed with soul-stirring lyrics, Outer Sanctum encourages audiences with “You’re worth so much more than you could ever know,” rallies them to “Put your hands up to the King of Eternity!” and questions “If we’re not one nation under God, then under what?”
Targeting Christians and non-Christians alike, Outer Sanctum’s desire is to reach beyond the walls of the church into the secular world. “Our sole purpose is to take the positive message of genuine love, salvation, and true freedom offered only through the blood of Christ to those on the outside.”
Breaking out of their comfort zones, the band goal is to boldly take the message of Christ to those waiting in the “Outer Sanctum,” including places other Christians are unwilling to go.
They have done just that – playing at bars (Birdy’s and 8 Seconds Saloon, where they were a finalist in the X103 Battle of the Bands), clubs, festivals, and churches alike in Indiana and surrounding states. "There is a lot of pain in the world and we want to bring some hope to our genre." Outer Sanctum offers this hope through an energetic and exhilarating modern rock show ready for all venues.
Outer Sanctum’s first full-length CD will be released Winter 2010! Their self-titled CD includes 9 stellar tracks, featuring crowd-pleaser Hands Up, heavy Hold On, and militant Under God.
Remember what I said last week about confusing episode numbering? This week marks the return of Outer Sanctum to the show in an interview recorded back in August, but held in reserve until now, while we awaited final mastering of their first full-length CD. So, let this be a small lesson to you bands out there: Sure having an outside, professional ear master your CD may be expensive, frustrating, and extremely time consuming, but the end result is totally worth it. For those of you who had access to the original, unmixed version of the album, this will be an entirely new listening experience for you -- even after we compress it down to 128Kbs for this download, or 96Kbs for those of you who use the stream. In addition, once this episode is placed back in its original context, it finally clears up (for me anyway) why I spent the next episode (#083 with Five 'Til Dawn, recorded the next day) calling Justin Crawford (a guy I've known for five years), Dustin Crawford -- as a large portion of this interview focuses on Outer Sanctum's newest addition, guitarist Dustin Bailey. Nice to know that, eventually, everything starts making sense around here.
Though they had only played a couple of shows back when they first appeared on this show, Outer Sanctum has since become a recognized and popular act in the local scene. They made the finals in the 8 Seconds Rock Battle a year ago and have since played numerous gigs at area church functions as well as several of the more-popular bars and clubs around town. If you see their name on the billing of a venue near you, don't let a "faith based rock" moniker (or a few extra years' life experience) in any way dissuade you from giving these guys a serious listen. This is great, original hard rock/heavy metal in league with the finest bands in the city, blasted at you by some of the most energetic and enthusiastic live players you will find anywhere. Verily, thy face will melt.

Chillicothe, Ohio’s, Woe of Tyrants, simply put, shred; they play metal music with little regard to scenes and sub genres. They are five guys dead-set on playing metal the way they want to and mix the best of death, thrash, and power metal in a concoction that defies pigeon-holing. Combine…
