Aug 28, 2019Sounds as powerful as ever. A welcome return from a much-missed thrash battalion.
-
Aug 28, 2019Awakening isn't going to change anyone's life, but Sacred Reich sound like they're having fun, and on thrash records like this one, that can be worth its weight in gold.

Aug 28, 2019Delivers a punitive amalgam of classic West Coast thrash and bruising groove metal.

Aug 28, 2019Despite the lack of any real surprises, Awakening easily stands with anything else Sacred Reich has ever done and shouldn’t disappoint any longtime fans that are still out there. For those that were too young to experience Sacred Reich back when they were originally active, just be prepared for some early nineties-style metal with a few songs that move back in time to a point when no-frills thrash ruled the metal landscape.
