I am excited about the latest Sacrament album, Haunts Of Violence. Unfortunately, it's not as heavy as their previous work--it shows the loss of Mike Terrone. Their Testimony Of Apocalypse is much better, and more into the grind/core scene. But this will be a big hit for thrash fans.
Their album starts off with "Haunts Of Violence." What can I say? It sounds cool, and the lyrics have to do with God being the answer to what the world's like--all the evil, violence, and profanity. Song two is "Carry The Corpse." The intro sounds a lot like Metallica. The guitar solo cranks out the power of Mike Didonato, and shows his incredible talent on the guitar.
"Seared Consciences" has some great vocal effects in the beginning, but they unfortunately drop back to his regular vocals. While Sacrament remains an excellent band, the album gets a little boring--it's too similar.
Sacrament also offers a bible study on all their songs. So if your mom complains about the music, you can prove that it's Godly.

Heaven's Metal #39Reviewed by Spiny NormanYes, Sacrament shows they have a very credible sound and talent. This is a very cool thrash album with some intense vocals (that are understandable this time!). New vocalist Rob Wolfe reminds me of a cross between Paul D'Anno (ex-Iron Maiden) and ex-Sacramenter Mike Tyrone. The title track starts the album with an exciting representation of things to come, with relentless aural attacks. Guitarist…Similar sounding releases
