Sacrum
SACRUM started as a musical project in late 2003 when the two founder members Talo Silveyra and Martín Guerrero decided to undertake a serious heavy rock band adding other keyboards and orchestral elements to create a new sound. After a long time of composing and playing SACRUM recorded their first EP called Transgenia, receiving great comments on it. In 2004 Mariano Herraiz (former keyboardist) and Diego Cipolla (Bass) joined in. In 2005, after some try-outs, the drummer’s seat was finally taken by Agustín Sedano Acosta, completing the line-up. By then, SACRUM started to rehearsal some songs and they finally got to play live during the 2005 and 2006. We could say that was the time SACRUM was born as a complete band, even though the project started before in 2003.
After their first live performances, SACRUM decides to move to the next step and starts recording their first studio album called Cognition. The production/artistic/recording/mixing/mastering process took almost a year so it was finally released on January 1st 2008. Immediately the band received distribution offerings in Germany and the US, great feedbacks, reviews and interview requests.
In 2008 SACRUM is chosen by Mike Portnoy to open a Dream Theater concert at Luna Park Stadium (Buenos Aires), it was a great experience and also gave them a great chance to be heard by thousands of people, although SACRUM was not able to display their whole show playing as a supporting band. That same year the band decides to split up from Mariano Herraiz due to artistic differences, meanwhile they were still preparing a big show in Buenos Aires and recording new tunes that were brought out in a virtual single form, this one was called Survive and it is available to download only on iTunes and Amazon.
On September, they performed live again at the ND Ateneo theater (Buenos Aires) to present Cognition officially and new songs of the upcoming album. Special effects, suicide on stage, sexual prisoners and much more made a big impact on people and the local press, it was a great success and SACRUM definitely started a new stage artistically. By the end of 2008 SACRUM enters the studio again to start record Days of Quarantine, the new album. Right now the band is preparing new live performances throughout the country and abroad.
SACRUM is not only made by music, it is an artistic project nourished by strong feelings and ideals of the band members who will always make sure to express all that and stimulate your heart and mind with sounds, images, lyrics and possibly more.
