Part 3 of the Sacrifice saga is here. After 2 classic thrash albums, the Canadian terror squad is back to raise hell once more. Apparently Sacrifice broke up for a few years after the great “Forward To Termination”, but reunited to record another album.

From the beginning of this album, it is apparent that Sacrifice has still got it. Beginning with “As The World Burns”, this album is yet another great slab of Thrash Metal. Urbinati’s vocal approach has changed from the previous 2 albums. Instead of only using hellish screams, some of the time, every lyric is screeched. Guitars and drumming are still superb as always. Standout tracks include “As The World Burns”, “In Defiance” and “A Storm In The Silence”, but as a whole this album does not compare to the first 2. Sacrifice manages to make another great album, but does not keep up the level of greatness the first 2 shared.

As is the case with all Sacrifice albums, this one may be a bit difficult to get. Drop me an email for a CD-R.
