RRS 286LP
|
The earliest and rawest recordings from UK anarcho-punk/crust pioneers Sacrilege. Formed in the mid-1980s, Sacrilege emerged from the British DIY underground with a sound that fused the political urgency of the anarcho scene with the heaviness of Discharge and the creeping darkness that would later define their crossover into thrash and doom. This LP features their 1984 and 1985 demos, capturing the band at their most direct and uncompromising -- raging, unpolished, and driven by conviction -- as well as a previously unreleased live set recorded at the Ambulance Station squat in London in 1985, a raw document of their power in the chaotic, squat-based scene of the time. Limited remastered edition with poster and printed inner sleeve. Also available on color vinyl (RRS 286R-LP).

Having played with the likes of influential movers and shakers on the anarcho-punk scene Antisect and Icons of Filth, on their first full-length LP, Birmingham's Sacrilege established themselves as a unique force to be reckoned with, wreaking havoc on what could be classified as sonic tropes belonging to a spectrum of subgenres dealing in the extremes: hardcore, doom, and thrash. Fronted by Lynda 'Tam' Simpson and her seizure-inducing spells injected with a fierce, sociopolitical-cum-mythopoeic banshee bite (but not wanting to understate the line-up of Damian Thompson on guillotine-quick/milkshake thick guitars) -- the six-track onslaught is every bit as crushing as the title suggests. From depraved dungeon synth-scapes on opener Lifeline to the planet-flattening funeral toll of "The Closing Irony," one question remains: One riff to rule them all? Yes.
