Sancta Sanctorum

Italian doom metal band. The Band was formed in 2007 from the renewed collaboration between Steve Sylvester, mythical singer and founder of the seminal Death SS, and Thomas hand Chaste, drummer of the first line up of this historic cult band (1977/84 era). The purpose was to combine their respective experiences, matured in over 25 years of artistic-musical career, in order to create a new entity that, starting from the dark sound of their mother band, could lead the to broader and more experimental musical horizons, converging their respective musical influences based in the hard-progressive sounds of the 70es and freeing themselves from the esoteric themes and complex theatrics of the original combo. Another "survivor" of the originally legendary Death SS line-up is the bass-player Gabriele Tommasini, in art Danny Hughes, known after the Death SS experience as bass-player for the Violet Eves and going on to become a demanded session musician as well as manager of his recording studio. The line-up is completed with the younger Frederick Dope.
