Sacred Reich Thrash Again With New Single and Video
WORDS:
Alex Brown

Legendary thrashers Sacred Reich are back. After over two decades, the group will be releasing their fifth studio full length record, Awakening, on August 23rd via Metal Blade Records. In celebration, the group has unleashed a music video for the album's title track.

The song's music video is as old school and straightforward as thrash metal gets, fast and loud, with flashy solos and a catchy hook sure to please traditionalist heshers who live and die in the pit. Meanwhile, bassist and vocalist Phil Rind demonstrates his depth as a lyricist, exploring themes of finding peace and strength within oneself while rocking out enthusiastically with his metal brothers-in-arms.

Check out the new video and its accompanying album art below:
