Tuesday, February 5, marks the official release date of Sanctus Real's new album Run, lead by the debut single "Promises."

"Promises is a song that came out of a simple word of encouragement that a friend of mine gave me when my son Bowen was diagnosed with his heart condition," said Sanctus Real singer/songwriter Matt Hammitt in an interview with Christian radio station K-LOVE. "He used to always say to me, 'cling to the promises.' It's such a simple thing, but it always reminds me to dig into God's word and hold on to the promises of God with all my heart."

"Promises" peaked at #21 onBillboard's Christian Adult Contemporary chart and #15 on Billboard's Christian CHR chart and was written by Mark Graalman, Matt Hammitt, Pete Prevost and Chris Rohman.

The success of the song, released October 9, was a welcome relief following a tragic summer during which the Sanctus Real's tour bus caught fire, destroying many of the band members'personal belongings. Thankfully - and as a testament to God's promises and faithfulness - no individuals were harmed.

To celebrate the release of Run, Sanctus Real is offering special merchandise bundles for fans. An autographed copy of the CD, plus a limited edition Run sticker and t-shirt is retailing for $25. For you $15 fans can purchase the sticker and autographed CD. And for those just interested in the music, the album can be purchased alone for just $10.
