Heavy rock titans Sandveiss, from Quebec City, Canada, are proud to announce the release of their highly anticipated new album "Standing in the Fire", which comes out on October 11th, 2024. This new release returns with their most ambitious and diverse album to date, it features eight powerful tracks that showcase the band's evolution and musical prowess. The band comments on the album:
"Five years after the release of our sophomore album "Saboteur", we are stoked to finally present our new offering, "Standing in the Fire". Musically, it showcases diversity but also, we hope, homogeneity and coherence. We draw from a wide range of influences, from metal to stoner rock, from prog to punk rock. While some are more apparent than others, they all play a key role in shaping our sound."
The production of "Standing in the Fire" has a modern feel while still incorporating vintage sounds and instruments, and the mix by Karl Daniel Lidén (Greenleaf, Dozer, The Ocean Collective) adds depth, texture, and power to the album. Lyrically, the songs were mostly written in response to, or sometimes as a grim reflection on, human and social issues, including politics and environmental problems.
The band cites that they've pushed their boundaries on all sides. The heavy is heavier, the prog is proggier, and the catchy is catchier. They've allowed themselves to explore new territories while staying true to their core sound. They are recommended for fans of The Sword, Dozer, and Baroness.

"Standing In The Fire is easily one of the most impressive heavy-stoner rock albums this year and I bet this band could easily grow huge if given the chance to perform to larger crowds supporting some of the big guns." - Velvet Thunder UK
"Standing In The Fire has a whole bunch of memorable songs that will keep you humming them all day as well as air guitaring their riffs, because there are plenty of those to go around too... The new Sandveiss record was exactly what I wanted as a follow up to their excellent last one. You get more of the heavy, more of the melody, their band's excellent playing, and songwriting ability that makes these songs last. Standing In The Fire is another excellent record by an excellent band who is in their prime right now. 9/10" - Musipedia of Metal
"Quebec City's Sandveiss has a reputation for balancing heavy and melodic, but Standing in the Fire takes that to a whole new level. This isn't just another rock album—it's a journey. A sonic exploration where the band pushes their limits while still holding onto that raw, gritty essence that got them here in the first place. From the moment you press play, you're in for a ride. - Heavy Stoned
"What's impressive about Standing in the Fire is how it balances these emotional highs and lows without losing its groove. Sandveiss knows how to guide you through a variety of moods, but everything fits, like chapters of the same gritty, doom-laden novel. Heavy riffs, killer solos, and a lot of heart—there's a lot here for fans of Black Sabbath, Mastodon, and The Sword. You'll get that familiar stoner rock vibe, but there's something deeper, something more refined. In short, heavy, melodic, unpredictable—and totally worth the trip." - Heavy Stoned
"Heavy rockers' Sandveiss have just launched a pair of singles "I'll Be Rising" & "No Love Here" ahead of their new album "Standing In The Fire" which is slated for an Oct. 11th release. The singles are both fantastic with elements of prog and heavy rock that make for two very interesting and impressive tracks. Outstanding vocals, unusual time signatures, melodic and hook driven...yeah it's right up our alley." - WJOE - Findlay's Home for Rock & Roll
"This track (Standing in the Fire) delivers an intense and reflective exploration of inner turmoil and societal disillusionment. The lyrics capture the struggle between seeking higher meaning and being trapped in confusion, ignorance, and denial. With evocative lines like "one foot in the grave" and "anger consumed heart," it speaks to the emotional weight of confronting fears and beliefs. The recurring chorus heightens the feeling of frustration, making it a powerful commentary on the fight for clarity in a chaotic world. To close, this single and forthcoming album won't gather dust in any collection, and will keep heads bouncing and feet tapping from sofa to stage. So why not clear a space, and give Sandveiss a try for 2024. Star Rating – 10/10" - Star Gazer Music Magazine
"As a successor to their KILLER previous album, Scream Queen, Saboteur holds its own and shows growth from the band, both in writing and musicianship. Saboteur is not meant to be played at lower decibels." - Doom Charts
"Sur ce nouvel album, le son propre et puissant sert à merveille des riffs ciselés et des mélodies accrocheuses. Chaque titre est une petite pépite de plaisir musical sertie dans une production jamais tape à l'œil, où les effets discrets relèvent la sauce." - Weirdsound
"Sometimes you hear something, and it hits you so hard it automatically becomes incredibly special to you. That has been my experience with Saboteur and Sandveiss." - Metal Nation
