NOTHING SACRED RETURN WITH TWO NEW 2026 RELEASES
Old School Speed Metal veterans unleash “Am I Going Insane” and upcoming single “Your Time Will Come”
Nothing Sacred are back in full force, carrying the torch of raw, fast, no-nonsense heavy metal straight out of the early wave that helped shape Australia’s underground scene.
First up, the band dropped their explosive take on Am I Going Insane (Black Sabbath cover) on April 3rd, 2026. Following that, they are set to unleash their new original track Your Time Will Come on May 28th, 2026.
OLD SCHOOL METAL WITH BLOOD, SWEAT, AND HISTORY
Formed in the early 1980s, Nothing Sacred emerged from Australia’s hard rock dominated landscape, pushing hard against the “pub rock” norm with a sharper, faster, NWOBHM-influenced edge. While bands like AC/DC and Rose Tattoo ruled the bars, Nothing Sacred helped carve out something heavier, faster, and more aggressive for the underground.
By 1986, their relentless live reputation landed them headlining the Metal for Melbourne festival, pulling over 1,400 fans and cementing their place in Aussie metal history.
Through the 80s, the band self-released cult favorites including the Deathwish EP and the Let Us Prey album, both recorded in just four days and now regarded as underground classics. The band’s story later intersected with members contributing to early Hobbs Angel of Death recordings, while the shifting 90s scene saw the group fade into semi-dormancy.
Fast forward to the 2000s and beyond, Nothing Sacred returned to active duty, reigniting interest through documentaries, international festival appearances, and a new wave of global recognition. Recent years have seen them share stages with heavyweights like Udo Dirkschneider, Metal Church, and Paul Di’Anno, plus tours across Europe and Japan.
2026: A NEW CHAPTER WITH TEETH
Their 2026 output shows a band that refuses to slow down.
The Black Sabbath cover, originally recorded for an Ozzy tribute compilation benefiting Fight Parkinson’s, is a raw and crushing reinterpretation of a classic.
A statement from Sham explains it best:
“We picked this track as there’s not much you can do to the classic Black Sabbath tracks that could make them better than the original. This was the one track that could be open to interpretation and turned into just about anything which is exactly what we did.”
The result is a thunderous, heavy-as-hell tribute that stays true to the spirit of Sabbath while dragging it through the fire of Nothing Sacred’s speed metal identity.
Meanwhile, “Your Time Will Come” delivers something darker and more narrative driven. The track tells the story of a condemned man facing execution without fear or regret, transforming his suffering into legacy and defiance. It is a song about conviction, sacrifice, and the idea that belief does not die with the body.

BAND STATEMENT ON “YOUR TIME WILL COME”
The song is built around defiance in the face of judgment, turning execution into transformation. The character at its center refuses silence, refusing regret, and frames death as the beginning of something that outlives the body.
