Are you ready to Die? The brutal new sound of Living Sacrifice is totally mind blowing. The vocals are so hard to understand, D.J. sounds like a monster from hell dying. As the album starts with "Emerge," you wouldn't think this album was so heavy, it starts off with an acoustic intro, like a lot of the other songs.
"Haven Of Blasphemy," is a totally killer track. It comes off of their EP Not Yielding To Ungodly. Although the original was better, this is still good. "Chemical Straightjacket" is a song about drug abuse. D.J. says "I've had a few friends and have seen a few things that have influenced me about the use of heroin and how it really destroys people's lives."
If you're a die hard metal fan, this album must be added to your collection. I'm not gonna take the time to review all the songs--they all sound awesome.

The leads on top of the rhythms here have that cool wah-wah effect. The lead-off cut, "Enthroned," features a flurry of sound interspersed with some very tasteful acoustic guitar picking. This acoustic touch welds the first two songs together (along with the…Salt #14Reviewed by UnknownAh yes. The second helping of molten metal by our neighbors from Little Rock, Arkansas. I've been super anxious for this disc to come out. And my hopes were multiplied in hearing that this one is so brutal some major "secular" labels are looking to sign this deserving band. Upon listening, the only thing to squelch my excitement was that it seemed each song sounded too much alike. Though this is…Similar sounding releases
