SACRIFICE Frontman: 'This Will Be A Punishing Thrash Album'
July 26, 2007Guitarist/vocalist Rob Urbinati of the reunited Canadian thrashers SACRIFICE has issued the following update:
"People have been asking for an update... It's coming along slowly like every other SACRIFICE album.
"We have been using 'Atrocity' as the tentative album title.
"We have about five songs done, lots of ideas. I want to compare it to something, but it is a continuation of SACRIFICE. Dont worry, it doesnt sound like a style of new thrash...it is us. If anything, I, myself am looking at 'Forward To Termination' as the moodsetter. Listening to a lot of stuff that influenced us then...old METALLICA, SLAYER, MERCYFUL FATE, TROUBLE, EXODUS, D.R.I., DISCHARGE, RUSH, Di'Anno MAIDEN. One thing I think we are all on board with, is that the drums will be real. None of this sampled sound with all the mistakes fixed... it will sound human. I am totally sick of that production style. It's time to bring a human sound with feeling back.
Titles: 'Hiroshima', 'The Great Wall', 'Give Me Justice', 'Absolute Power Corrupts', and a bunch more tentative titles.
"Our writing credo right now is 'no fucking compromise.' No fucking around. Yes, there will be some melody like all SACRIFICE, but make no mistake, this will be a fucking punishing thrash album."
For the first time in 15 years, SACRIFICE reunited last September to headline the Day Of The Equinox II festival in Toronto, Ontario at the Opera House.
The band's original lineup of guitarist/singer Rob Urbinati, guitarist Joe Rico, bassist Scott Watts and drummer Gus Pynn performed tracks from their classic metal releases: "Torment In Fire" (1986),"Forward To Termination" (1987) and "Soldiers of Misfortune" (1990).
