Anatomy of the Sacred CD Release Show w/ Clinton Washington and HYT

Female-fronted symphonic metal duo Anatomy of the Sacred makes elegant, soulful music ablaze with powerhouse vocals, orchestral melodies and radiant harmonies draped over driving and resounding rhythms. Skilled songwriters, composers and artists Brenda Michelle Robinson (vocals) and Shane Krout (bass, guitar, vocals) experiment with opulent textures and unleash lyrics that float atop a sophisticated, intricately-woven tapestry overflowing with plush layers of electric guitar and bass. Anatomy of the Sacreds debut EP, Ashes to Ashes is an electrifying journey through the ever-twisting avenues of life. It is a formidable collection of lingering songs that explore humanitys ongoing struggle with themes such as lust, reflection, disappointment, death, fear and hope.

The moniker Anatomy of the Sacred captures the essence of the South Central PA-rooted groups music and its message, both of which are inspired by its visionaries admiration of dynamic artists such as Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Evanescence, Stream of Passion and Delain. The duos detailed work examines the anatomy of the most sacred human elements that comprise the foundation of existence, including love, loneliness, passion, joy and longing. The musical partnership between Robinson and Krout began in 2011 when Krout was in search of a lead vocalist with an acrobatic voice. Floored by Robinsons colorful tone and her ability to easily float between ethereal soaring and earthliness, he invited her to join his symphonic metal project, Shades of Autumn. The two found perfect synergy as songwriters and lyricists and began to churn out a fountain of stunning material.

Realizing that the fresh fruits of their creative efforts represented a new sound, the two dreamed up Anatomy of the Sacred and began to imagine the songs for the first EP. With the distinctive honor of being the only female led symphonic metal band in PA, Anatomy of the Sacred is now ready to tell the tale of its first chapter thanks to thoughtful time spent writing, rehearsing and recording material for its freshly-recorded masterpiece, Ashes to Ashes. The album has come to fruition with the help of numerous musicians, engineers and artists and also features the talents of Clinton Washington from Season 8 of NBCs The Voice. The band is preparing to film two music videos in Summer 2016, Ashes to Ashes is available now.
