Sacred

metal

There are 6 artist/bands that use the name Sacred. 1. Formed summer 2007 by Stockport based guitarist/vocalist Jack Doyle and drummer Paul Hanley. After playing together in other bands, the pair became increasingly bored of Manchester’s fashion driven indie only policy” live music scene and retreated to their practice space to indulge their love of Metal influenced Alt/Rock which formed the basis of Sacred's now distinct Hard Rock sound. The bands influences range from: The Smashing Pumpkins, Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr., Nirvana, Soundgarden, Melvins, Pixies, Tad, Husker Du and Kyuss to the British Goth sounds of Joy Division and The Cure. After a few months of writing and demoing, Doyle and Hanley recruited Stockport bassist Daniel Land to complete the 3-piece line up of the band. Several gigs later, Sacred built a reputation on Manchester's live circuit as the city's heaviest band, which garnered them glowing reviews on Manchestermusic.co.uk. Audiences are no different either! Give the band a crowd of 20 or 200 people, Sacred's live set never fails to get a positive reaction, winning over every crowd they play in front of, be it hangers on from the long gone days of Madchester, to the coked up fashonistas who still aren’t sure if The Mighty Boosh is a band or a TV show. www.myspace.com/sacredband 2.
