BIOGRAPHY
In 2011, Steve Grimmett and other Ex Onslaught band members, launched a new project called "The Sanity Days". They intended to be together for a limited period playing songs from Onslaught's most commercially successful album "In Search Of Sanity" mainly for a bit of fun and nostalgia, at well known festivals.
Steve Grimmett (vocals) is best known as the frontman in legendary metal bands Grim Reaper and Lionsheart. Grimmett also sang on Onslaught’s most commercially successfully album. Grim Reaper achieved major success with three highly-acclaimed studio albums, along with major MTV video rotation. Grimmett also sang and fronted the video for Garmin Communications’ 2007 USA Super bowl XLI television commercial.
The rest of the band comprises former Onslaught members, including co-founder Steve Grice, who played drums on all releases until his departure in 2011. Jase Stallard, who played bass on Power From Hell and guitar on The Force, provides bass duties, while guitars are handled by Al Jordan, who played lead guitar on Onslaught’s comeback release (2007’s Killing Peace).
On 7 December 2012, The Sanity Days performed at a concert to launch the inaugural International Day of Heavy Metal. In 2013 The Sanity Days have played various shows around the globe, including several headline gigs in South America followed by a headline show in Tokyo, along with a series of European festival dates. Some of these shows showcased tracks from the forthcoming album, such as “My Demon Mind” and “The Edge”, both of which received highly positive feedback from the audience.
After playing several successful shows around the world, numerous discussions and with a longer term plan in sight, the band decided it was time to start writing their own material. Fourteen months and six new songs later a deal was struck with Candlelight Records, with only the finishing touches to do - the writing is almost complete - the band are braced to enter the studio to record their debut album which is due out in the Spring 2014.
On March, 24, 2015 "The Sanity Days" released their debut album with all new material called "Evil Beyond Belief". Mixing dark, classic metal riffs, vocal melodies, and thunderous drums, the album should be an instant favorite with old-school metal fans.
The album is 100% original material and will include a track called “Ruler of Eternity”, a Sabbath-esque monolith dedicated to the achievements without peer of legendary rock vocalist Ronnie James Dio.
This album is a mixture of dark, metallic, spine-chilling riffs, topped with melodic, haunting vocal melodies, soaring over thunderous drums and driving bass.
The Sanity Days represent a forging of the talents of a formidable range of experienced musicians from genres across the metal scene.
