Sometimes it’s imperative to “step away” in order to continue evolving. While it seemed that SACRED REICH had permanently stepped away and slipped into thrash limbo during their hiatus, the thrash quartet hailing from Phoenix, Arizona was working towards their comeback and, quite literally, putting the band back together to record 2019’s “Awakening”, their first new album in over twenty-three years. 

Prepare to dispatch the “helicopters and spotlights” before tuning in for some quality “adult entertainment”, including the reading of entries from “Dahmer’s Joke Notebook” as read by Metal Nerdery junior correspondent, Dick Taintler.
