SACRIFICE (jap)

Reissue of the 2nd album from 1990 by Japanese SACRIFICE, expanded with two live bonus tracks recorded in 1991. Regarded as one of the pioneers of Japan's extreme Metal scene, SACRIFICE forged a distinctive sound by combining Speed Metal, Thrash Metal and the raw edge of the first wave of Black Metal, always staying true to the underground spirit.

The material finds the band taking the formula of their debut to a darker and more aggressive level. Rather than embracing the increasingly technical direction of early 90s Thrash Metal, Total Steel thrives on raw energy, relentless speed and an evil atmosphere reminiscent of the genre's earliest days, making it a genuine cult release within the Japanese extreme Metal scene.
