SACRED REICH – Finishes Recording New Album

American thrashers, SACRED REICH, have finished recording their new studio album – a first in 23 years – entitled “Awakening.” The album is due this summer. A first new song called “Don’t Do It Donnie” will be released April 19 on a split 7″ with Iron Reagan.

Comments Phil Rind: “We are stoked to do a split with Iron Reagan. When we began as a band in 1986 we were influenced lyrically by punk bands and the Reagan era. This is a great way to get back to our roots. The song is a heavy and cheeky middle finger to the politics of today. You’d think we’d have learned by now. There is a reason our first record is called ‘Ignorance’.”

The new Sacred Reich album, “Awakening,” has been recorded with producer Arthur Rizk and engineer John Aquilino at The Platinum Underground in Arizona. More details on Awakening shortly.

Sacred Reich is a Phoenix, Arizona based thrash metal band that formed in 1985. Part of the second wave of thrash along with Testament, Death Angel, Destruction and Dark Angel, Sacred Reich has produced a catalog of politically charged aggressive music that has stood the test of time. The band plays a limited amount of shows each year and can be seen performing at several European festivals each summer.
