Slanderus is a rock band featuring Jason J. Kennedy on guitar and backing vocals, Alex Alamilio on vocals and keyboards, Adrian Smith on bass guitar, and Cameron Meentt on drums. Their music blends hard rock elements with emotive vocals and powerful instrumentation.
Sanctuary of Life marks a remarkable evolution in Slanderus' musical journey, surpassing even the high standards set by their previous EP, Pseudo Reality I. This latest release stands as a true masterpiece, refining and expanding upon the best elements of its predecessor while transforming distinctive quirks into defining features of the band’s unique style, sound, and approach.
At the forefront of this dynamic EP is Alan Alamillo’s unforgettable vocal performance. His larger-than-life presence is even more pronounced here, as his expressive and eccentric singing style floods each track with raw personality. Alamillo’s vocals range from operatic flourishes to gritty yells, shrieks, and throat growls, creating a challenging yet captivating auditory experience. His ability to evoke a broad spectrum of emotions—from discomfort to exhilaration—cements his role as a truly original and compelling voice in modern metal.
The production quality of Sanctuary of Life is exceptionally polished, blending slick commercial appeal with deep genre roots. Catchy, pop-influenced chord progressions, such as those that open the track “Black Rose,” invite listeners in with immediate accessibility. This commercial edge broadens the EP’s reach, making it an ideal entry point for fans new to heavy metal while simultaneously satisfying aficionados of hard rock, post-metal, and progressive thrash metal. The release also injects moments of unexpected humor and playful twists, exemplified by the track “Udara,” where soulful guitar solos give way to surprising vocal outbursts that defy expectations and add a layer of personality and surprise.
The songwriting throughout the EP is both ambitious and meticulously crafted. Lengthy compositions avoid filler through inventive riffs and emotionally charged vocals that carry each note with intention and passion. The natural, yet carefully balanced structure of each song results in an immersive listening experience. “Udara” exemplifies this approach with its shifting dynamics—from triumphant and slow choruses to groove-laden pre-choruses, driving verses, and a melodic, flowing bridge that captivates with its grace.
Sanctuary of Life is a complete and satisfying musical journey that leaves listeners thoroughly fulfilled. With its combination of innovative musicianship, powerful lyricism, and compelling vocal delivery, this EP sets a new benchmark for Slanderus and signals a promising future within the metal genre. It is a must-listen for anyone seeking a thrilling and multifaceted sonic adventure that will entertain and astonish for years to come.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
