SACRIFICE-"Torment in fire" ROADRUNNER Records (Holland) c.1986 Cat: 9697

Original European pressing of this Canadian thrash masterpiece. The first release by SACRIFICE! Prepare yourself to get shred your guts with this classic album. Near mint condition throughout!

Together with Razor, Sacrifice were one of the better known Canadian thrash metal acts and made some fine albums. However, their debut is just an example of what happens when the amount of enthusiasm goes way beyond the actual talent and resources. Torment In Fire is a slab of primitive thrash metal with a very poor production and little content other than childish boasting. At the first listening I thought the album sounded more like a demo tape until I later heard some of the actual demo tracks which were even worse. The lyrics are so satanic and violent throughout that this sounds almost like a concept album. But while Slayer for example had some credibility from the very beginning, Sacrifice manage to sound just ridiculous here. The music is pretty much the same stereotypical mindless thrashing with no reason whatsoever (Decapitation is almost cute, though). At least it is interesting to note that Rob Urbinati's screams and growls sound almost normal here when compared to his later grinding style.

Side A: The awakening, Sacrifice, Turn in your grave, Homicidal breath, Warrior of death, Infernal visions

Side B: Burned at the stake, Necronomicon, The exorcism, Possession, Decapitation, Beyond death
