March 1, 2016 - The polls have closed for ROCKWIRED.COM's recent ARTIST OF THE MONTH campaign. Voters from all over the U.S. and the world made their vote count and CORNERS OF SANCTUARY   is ROCKWIRED.COM's newest ARTIST OF THE MONTH. This is there second time walking away with the title. When we first spoke with the members of CORNERS OF SANCTUARY a few months the interview was aimed at discussing their then-latest album AXE TO GRIND but clearly that album was ancient history for these fellas as they had their sights set on the future with an album they were working on titled METAL MACHINE. Even the advertising that they've run in ROCKWIRED MAGAZINE of late has made mention of the fact that METAL MACHINE was on it's way and according tot he band this album was to be a crowning achievement and now that the release is finally here we can say that all of the advance hype was worth it. METAL MACHINE is the latest chapter in the ever evolving saga of CORNERS OF SANCTUARY and their mission to reintroduce the metal madness of yore to an unsuspecting musical landscape that seems all too willing to favor restraint an sheen over frenetic energy and bravado.  METAL MACHINE is a rocking good time.

Other nominees for ARTIST OF THE MONTH included  XOCH, ONE, LUKAS ROSSI, DEATH VALLEY DREAMS, WAYLAND and SILVERTUNG
