Product Review

Few albums can claim to have started a musical movement like Human Sacrifice. While thrash metal had already been well established by 1988, only a handful of bands had attempted to combine such fast, heavy music with lyrics reflecting faith in Christ. None of these bands had released anything more than demos or a couple tracks on compilations until this monster of an album came roaring onto the scene. Fusing fast riffing, driving bass and drums, hyper-speed bluesy lead guitar, and just enough melody to make things more memorable, Human Sacrifice did more than just introduce Christianity to the genre - it revolutionized the developing style of Christian metal in a way no previous band or album had done. Vengeance Rising raised the stakes and gave fellow thrashers a unique album that set the bar for future releases. Remaster, new artwork with reversible old school cover art, bonus tracks.
