Album Info
The American powerhouse Living Sacrifice celebrate the 30th anniversary of their self titled debut album from 1991 with this definitive release via the Norwegian metal label Nordic Mission.
As for the music, this album reeks of harsh riffs, outstanding musicianship and youthful vengeance that still makes ears bleed after 30 years. The album grooves, delivers outstanding guitar solos and leaves the listener with the feeling of putting once head in a blender only interrupted by tasteful intermissions that prepare the listener for the next attack. The vocals are haunting, delivered with a sense of urgency and the notion that a message needs to be delivered. Machine gun guitars and delicious drum chops and bass fills that leaves the album sounding fat and beefy.
With this ultimate 30th anniversary we hope to increase the attention around Living Sacrifice and their furious debut album. We believe it would have had a much more solid standing today when music and lyrics not are confined to a certain audience, and listener around the globe appreciate quality before content.
In 1991, Living Sacrifice's self-titled debut was released on R.E.X. Records. The album received much comparison to thrash metal groups of the time, especially Slayer. The album forever set in stone their reputation as a cutting edge death metal band, helping bridge the gap between mainstream and underground metal, especially in the Christian rock scene. Former and current members of Living Sacrifice have gone on to play in P.O.D., Evanescence, Demon Hunter, and Norma Jean.
