More Info

Having played withe the likes of influential movers and shakers of the anarcho-punk scene Antisect and Icons Of Filth, on their first full-length LP, Birmingham's Sacrilege established themselves as a force to be reckoned with, wreaking havoc on what we could classify as sonic tropes belonging to a spectrum of sub-genres dealing in the extremes, hardcore, doom and thrash.

Fronted by Lynda 'Tam' Simpson and her seizure-inducing spells injected with a fierce, sociopolitical-cum-mythopoetic 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 Iron, one question remains: One riff to rule them all? Yes.
