SACRED REICH (USA)
"Independent"
DISPLEASED RECORDS
Release Date : 15/03/2010
Another classic reissue from DISPLEASED RECORDS. This time from the legendary USA Thrash Metal band - SACRED REICH. The release best served to celebrate the band 25 years of thrashing madness. The album is their 3rd full-length originally released by METAL BLADE RECORDS in 1993. Take note that this reissue version comes with 5 rare bonus tracks :- 3 tracks taken from 'A QUESTION' EP 1991 ; the track "The Big Picture" (MILLIONS of DEATH COPS' cover) was taken from 'OPEN BOOK/THE BIG PICTURE' SINGLE 1993 and the track "Crawling (Radio Edit)" was taken from 'CRAWLING' SINGLE 1993.
Despite the band had earlier released 'DRAINING YOU OF LIFE' demo (1985), full-length debut 'IGNORANCE' (1987) and 'SURF NICARAGUA' EP (1988), we only get to know them seriously way later via their 2nd full length 'THE AMERICAN WAY' (1990).
The band is also lyrically political/social. 'SURF NICARAGUA' EP for example, is their critical response towards USA waged war against NICARAGUA - an attempt to topple the local government there. While the track "Who's To Blame" is about neglected childrens - "Music is no cause of death, it's you who suffocates. Who's to be responsibe for a life that's gone off track, who's the one who must be there to see it gets put back. Where were you to hear the cries of a person in need, were you there to see the signs or were you too busy".
