    The German death metal band Sacrificium finally returns with a new release. This time it's a full length album containing ten songs and looking at the titles I notice they've re-recorded a few classics like Psalm Of The Unborn and Paupers Grave. When I saw them live last year, they played those songs, so, why not! The first song (title track) is a nice indication of what the rest of the album is like. The song starts with fast drumming but then continues mid tempo soon. The band varies straightforward parts with technical parts. Only occasionally there are fast parts. The sound is thick throughout the album. And singer Claudio has a very deep, dry grunt. It's hard to make out what he's actually uttering, at least without a lyric sheet and my promo hasn't. The production by the band and guitarist Oliver Tesch is fairly good. Cold Black Piece Of Flesh is an album that leaves a good impression. I don't like every bit of it, but songs like Killing With Style and Psalm Of The Unborn are definitely highlights.
