Sacred Reign
Untitled release
Reviewed by Jeff Lott
The first thing that comes to mind upon hearing this six song tape is another "Sacred" band - Warrior, that is.
"Trials By Fire" gets things rolling with a strong groove that only lets up when the guitar kicks in, and then it speeds up. Vocalist Geoff Sheeler has Rey Parra written all over him. Not a bad influence I'd say. The rest of the band sound like seasoned musicians who've played together for years. They are really tight. The lead in "Judgement Day" is awesome, topped of with a killer double bass roll.
Those who love late 80's metal should devour this. I've enjoyed my helping. To order, send $6 to: Geoff Sheeler, 1828 Marigold Ave., Akron, OH 44301.
