Teen metal band CHAINED SAINT — comprised of Ethan Kahn (guitar), Sebastian De Avila (bass), Cameron Cottrell (drums) and Sean Sterling (vocals) — will play a free headline show this Friday, January 23 at Affliction Sound Stage in Seal Beach. Bastardane will also appear. All details are in the flyer posted above.

The free show kicks off a three-show run in Los Angeles, which also includes a stint opening for Metal Allegiance on January 22 at House of Blues in Anaheim, and a show at The Whisky on January 24.

Chained Saint have also collaborated with the clothing brand for a limited edition merch drop on Friday, January 23, as well. The merch includes a hoodie, t-shirt, and thermal, which will be available in two different designs at the Affliction store, at the show, and online. Get more information here.

The band was recently included in The New York Times' profile on one of their heroes — the legendary Dave Mustaine and Megadeth. Read their participation here.

Chained Saint were tipped by Revolver, Guitar World, Loudwire, Metal Injection, Miami New Times, and Judas Priest legend Rob Halford all praised the band for their chops. SiriusXM's Liquid Metal added the band to their playlist, and their debut single "Animosity" served as the theme song for the WWE 2K24 DLC 4 trailer. Ahead of their first tour in the summer of 2025, Chained Saint shared the brand new single "1000 Tons." Watch the lyric video here. Chained Saint appeared at several festivals through the rest of the year, including Welcome to Rockville, Rocklahoma, Louder Than Life, and VANS Warped Tour. Weather caused their set at LTL to be canceled, but Slaughter to Prevail personally invited Sterling on stage to perform with them in a moment of metallic magic. They wrapped 2025 by sharing their Live at the Whisky a Go GO EP, which was recording on August 15 of that year. It marked the band's second performance at the legendary L.A. venue and shows off the kind energy that can only be expended by youth, along with their serious skills. Watch the full performance below. Listen to and download the EP here and here.
