Sanction is an American hardcore band that has been pummeling the heavy music scene with their aggressive and weighty sound since their formation. Originating from Long Island, New York, the group has established a reputation for crafting hardcore music with a relentless, almost suffocating intensity. Their discography reads as chapters of unfiltered and raw emotional expression channeled through heavy instrumentals and visceral screams.

Since their inception, Sanction has found a home in the hearts of hardcore enthusiasts with releases that delve into the darker, more ominous territories of the genre. Their 2019 full-length album, "Broken in Refraction," showcased the band's ability to combine the pummeling force of metallic hardcore with bleak atmospherics, furthering their presence in the scene. With tracks like "Radial Lacerations" and "Paralysis," they have solidified their approach of sonic brutality that refuses to compromise. The EP "The Infringement of God's Plan" and the single "Sixhundredthirtyone" serve as additional testaments to the band’s penchant for dense, mosh-worthy breakdowns, and menacing guitar work intertwined with themes of personal struggle and societal issues. The impactful soundscapes Sanction creates are not just heard, but felt, as they continue to push the boundaries of what modern hardcore can be.
