Earlier last month, New Jersey rock band SAGE has announced their signing with The Artery Foundation. Formed in 2023, the band comprises of Mike Rafter (vocals), James Benedetto (vocals, guitar), Chris Coletti (guitar), and Nick Perrone (drums).
On Friday, April 3rd, SAGE has unleashed their brand new track "DEEP END" to celebrate the exciting news of being part of The Artery Foundation team. "DEEP END" marks as the band's first release of 2026 and follows the release of "SICK OF IT ALL". You can view the music video to "DEEP END" below, directed by Blackwolf Imaging.
"'Deep End' is really about breaking free from someone who keeps trying to pull you back into their chaos," says Benedetto. "It's about setting boundaries, standing your ground, and reclaiming your power after being hurt. It uses that 'deep end' metaphor to represent consequences. At some point, you have to let people face the tide on their own in order to learn. We actually flew out to L.A. to work with producer Hiram Hernandez, and that experience took the band's sound to a whole different level. He helped bring so many ideas to life and really pushed us to be our best selves when writing. We're pumped on what we created together."
