...SIŁA I PIĘKNO MUZYKI TKWIĄ W JEJ RÓŻNORODNOŚCI


..::OPIS::..

'Within the Prophecy' jest jednym z niewielu albumów, które posiadają naprawdę wyjątkowe cechy.
Przypuszczam, że sam Szatan wymienia ten album w swojej gorącej pierwszej dziesiątce!

Sacrilege are a very unique band. They formed in 1984 in Birmingham, England, the birthplace of Black Sabbath. It makes perfect sense that Sacrilege were influenced by Sabbath a great deal, considering that the riffs are heavy and doom inspired. Sacrilege started out as a crust punk influenced band but soon dropped most crust influence in favor of thrash/doom. The band signed to Under One Flag and released their sophomore effort titled "Within the Prophecy" in 1987. Let's take a look at this underrated classic!

So the album opens with "Sight Of The Wise" which contains a fuck ton of heavy riffs right off the bat! Guitarist Damian Thompson's riffs are downtuned, very heavy, and they can be very fast at times. His solos are killer too. The riffs are varied, and the clean guitar section on "Winds Of Vengeance" is just beautiful. Especially when the distorted parts come in, then it reminds me of Sabbath. Thompson does a fantastic job on this record. He also recorded the bass, but it is sadly buried under the mix. It's a shame, because the bass could of easily added to the riffs and flow of the songs. Vocalist Lynda "Tam" Simpson is one of my favorite female thrash vocalists of all time. She has a aggressive edge to her vocals, but maintains the slight melodic characteristics of female vocals. Her best performance on the album in my opinion is on "The Captive". Overall, she adds to the unique sound of the record. Drummer Andy Baker is a decent drummer. He's not the best drummer ever, but he does a good job. His double bass is fairly audible, and he goes hard during those fast parts. Overall, he does pretty well.

As for recommended tracks, well "Winds Of Vengeance" is one of the highlights for sure. Especially that aforementioned clean interlude which is bound to give you intense frission. "The Fear Within" has some killer riffs, and Tam's vocals are very good on this particular track. The ultimate masterpiece on the record though is "Search Eternal", a epic 10 minute monster with some amazing guitar work, amazing vocals, and a absolutely legendary finale. Near the end of the track, the clean guitar serves as a counterpart to the distorted guitar, and it sounds amazing. That part is definitely one of my favorite parts of the song.

Overall, Sacrilege were an amazing doom thrash band that was sadly left behind. There are many who know about them, but I sadly don't see them get mentioned by thrash fans that often. Within The Prophecy just got remastered on CD and vinyl, so hopefully this album will get some new found appreciation among thrash fans. I recommend this to fans of Black Sabbath, Witchfinder General, Dark Angel, Znowhite, and Holy Moses.
