Sacred Reich – Heal – 1996

Heal is Sacred Reich’s 4th full-length studio album if I’m not mistaken. They maintained a pretty even pace at this point in their career. Ignorance in 1987, The American Way in 1990, Independent in 1993, and Heal in 1996. That means that the band should have had enough time to invest in every album I think. At least that’s how it plays out in my mind. But they are all very different from each other...

Sacred Reich – Independent – 1993

I’ve listened to Sacred Reich’s Independent numerous times now, trying to find qualities that just aren’t there. I’m sorry but I can’t find the great moments that were on The American Way. Neither musically nor lyrically. It’s a shame really. The American Way is a true masterpiece and might be the best album of the 90s. But Independent doesn’t live up to it at all. It’s not bad by any means, there’s just not that...

Sacred Reich – The American Way – 1990

As I have stated in a couple of previous reviews of Sacred Reich’s albums, The American Way is their masterpiece according to me. There is really no comparison to the previous album. The sound quality is exactly as I like it. There is not too much bass and just the right amount of heaviness. The lyrics themselves reflect society’s concessions, which is no surprise. And the music has just the right amount of hit quality,...

Sacred Reich – Surf Nicaragua – 1988

Surf Nicaragua was probably not the first album I got with Sacred Reich. If it is an album that is. I guess it’s really an EP or a min album or something. There are six tracks on it and two are new if I’m not mistaken. Two original Sacred Reich songs that is. There is the title track – Surf Nicaragua, which is the whole point of owning this. Not to say that the other...

Sacred Reich – Ignorance – 1987

I recently had a discussion with Micke from TPL Records. We meet once a year and he’s always great to talk metal with. I would like to say that he knows everything about metal music. That’s not entirely true of course. No one knows everything, but it’s safe to say that he knows more about it than me. But then again, he has been dealing with Metal for 40 years, selling albums and keeping track...
