Sanctus Real's New Album 'Pieces of a Real Heart' Releases In March

Feb 09 2010

Sanctus Real return with their fifth studio album 'Pieces of a Real Heart' on 9th March 2010. Working with acclaimed producers Chris Stevens (Tobymac, Sanctus Real, Matthew West), Jason Ingram (One Sonic Society, Bebo Norman, Tenth Avenue North) and Rusty Varenkamp (Tenth Avenue North, Rush of Fools, Bebo Norman) this album finds the band maturing and growing as songwriters and individuals. The album retains the band's aggressive edge, while incorporating a more diverse musical palette of instrumentation and themes.

The album's first radio single 'Forgiven' has already proved a massive success, with fans being encouraged to send in their own personal stories of forgiveness, hope and redemption, which have been posted on the bands website. "I underestimated the power of forgiveness," explains Sanctus Real lead vocalist Matt Hammitt. "I was expecting people to write 'God is good, I am forgiven,' which is a true statement of faith, but people began confessing their deepest, darkest secrets on the site, sending letters to people they need forgiveness from or need to forgive. It's amazing to see how God can use my own insignificant insecurities, failures and fears to spark a song that ministers to so many others needing forgiveness. Praise God that we are forgiven, from the seemingly insignificant things to the biggest of failures."

Popularly known for its captivating recordings and live performances, Toledo, Ohio-based Sanctus Real is playing 'Lead Me', 'Forgiven' and other new songs from 'Pieces of a Real Heart', as well as fan favorites spanning 13 number 1 and Top 5 radio hits, on its headline spring tour with special guests Addison Road, Above the Golden State, Me In Motion and Speaker Sammy Adebiyi. The tour launches on 3rd March in Phoenix and travels coast to coast through until 18th April. Sanctus Real has also already been booked to play the major Christian festivals this summer, including Crossover Festival, Atlanta Fest, Ichthus, Sonshine, Revelation Generation, and more.
