The Sanctity Of Crows

The Sanctity Of Crows is an award-winning solo indie music project by Ian A Napier, who lives in Scotland. Distinctive genre-agnostic flights high above the confluence of the two great rivers Prog and Post-rock. Music 100% AI-free, mostly instrumental. It's been said "most of this is truly unique", but bits have been likened to CAN, NEU!, Tangerine Dream, TOOL, Nine Inch Nails, Mogwai, God Is An Astronaut, Hans Zimmer, John Carpenter, Pink Floyd, Rick Wakeman, Mike Oldfield, Simple Minds, The Verve and My Dying Bride. The debut album "Amidst the Gloom" was released in March 2024, followed by "Flowers of the New Dawn" (a symphony for electric guitars in six movements) at the end of October 2024 - two tracks from which reached top 5 positions in the Independent Artist Chart on Burton Radio. In December 2024, tSoC received the "Newcomer Of The Year" award from 'Neil On The Radio' for Smart Radio 101. In February 2026, tSoC became the inaugural member of Burton Radio's new Independent Hall Of Fame. Ian continues to explore his creativity through music with new releases, and collaborations with artists such as Histheory, Across the Frostlands, HOLLOW WORDS, Sonia Hutchinson (of Crowsilver) and Jonathan Dawkins.
