For all the people who don’t know about the great Sacrifice, I shall give a brief history of the band. Hailing from Canada, this 4 piece, started out around 1985 or so. In their reasonably short life they only were, sadly, able to release 4 albums. Sacrifice play old school Thrash Metal, and in their early days they embraced the Black Metal ideology as well.

“Torment in Fire” is simply one of the greatest Black Metal albums ever to see the light of day. Smashing guitars, machine gun drumming (no blast beats of course), and tortured vocal screams make the listener feel as though they had been raped by a 747. Since I like to prattle more then a schoolgirl who just got her first boyfriend, ill cut this review short. Every single song on this album kicks ass, it is nearly impossible for me to conceive picking the best track. One problem with this album however, is the availability. My collection would never have contained this treasure if not for Blackgoat of Barbarian Wrath (thanks a lot), and even so I only have a CD-R. No metalhead should be without this release. If anyone needs a copy they can send me email and ill send it to you for free. If you feel you need to do something I’ll accept a trade, but I won’t take money, cause, like Blackgoat (and many others for that matter), I will not make money off metal.
