Today, pop punk trio AIR DRAWN DAGGER have released “Sanctifound”, the third single cut from their forthcoming debut album, A Guide For Apparitions, out April 4, via Long Branch Records.
The band says about “Sanctifound”:
“Keeping the acoustic guitar for the intro riff (inspired by Lamb of God) catapults us into a realm which is intense, rainy and unsettling. We are introduced to the album’s protagonists ‘The Martyrs’ and welcomed with open arms, we are indoctrinated into the fold, warned against evil in the lake and thrust into the mosh pits as the synths and riffs hit hard,” says the band on the new track.
Produced by Neil Kennedy (Creeper, Boston Manor), A Guide For Apparitions pulls listeners through haunted tales of cosmic chaos, inviting you on a spellbinding journey with the band’s macabre mysticism, multi-genre-infused rock, and eldritch imagery full of witch trials and ghost lore.

AIR DRAWN DAGGER blend raw emotion and defiance into a sound that defies genre. Their name, taken from Macbeth, symbolizes the chaos and emotional outbursts that fuel their music. BBC Introducing championed their early releases, and they soon found themselves on major playlists like Pop Punk Generation, Emo Anthems, and All New Rock. AIR DRAWN DAGGER‘s momentum is undeniable. They’ve sold out their own headline shows and played packed-out UK dates with Millie Manders. Recent shows with Lake Malice, Dream State, and AVIVIA saw more back-to-back sellouts along with curating their own stage at the Tramlines Festival Fringe. With over 250,000 views on the music video for their single “You Should Have Known Better”, which also featured on the Kerrang! Chart, and multiple tracks premiering on BBC Introducing, the band’s cult-like following continues to grow.
Following their sold-out show at The Leadmill last year, AIR DRAWN DAGGER have also announced their biggest show to date at Corporation, in their hometown of Sheffield, on Saturday April 5, 2025. With all this, and more to come, 2025 is set to be The Year of the Dagger.
