Living Sacrifice is a band I know for being Metalcore, having their 3 most recent albums. However, before the Metalcore-era was a different Living Sacrifice. On this demotape from 1990 they bring Thrash metal, heavily influenced by Slayer. For a first demorelease it's really rather impressive, considering they were teenagers around this time. Decent riffs, nice guitarsolos. The only thing I don't like (and don't like about any pre-Reborn CD) are the vocals. DJ is just not the greatest vocalist around. That being said, this is of course not a release you try to get for the purpose of actually playing it. It's a collector's item. The songs can also be found on other releases (Heaven of Blasphemy on Nonexistant, Second Death on the Selftitled, Progressive Change on the Argh!!! sampler by REX Records), but this is the first demotape of one of the most popular bands of the Christian extreme music scene. Pretty cool to have in the collection.
