Thrash metal legends Sacred Reich have signed with Metal Blade Records!

Sacred Reich are currently writing material for what will be their sixth album and first since 1996's “Heal”. Since their 1985 inception, the band has become one of the most revered 80s thrash bands and have continued to carry the torch with European tours, festival appearances, their first US tour in over 20 years, plus their 2012 Live at Wacken album.

Given Sacred Reich‘s politically conscious material, today’s divisive climate means the band’s views are more relevant and vital than ever.

Sacred Reich vocalist and bassist Phil Rind comments:

“Natur” is a Sami scream from the far north. Made 100 years after the first indigenous political organising in Norway, this is a Sami call to arms against the still on-going colonization and oppression.

“Natur” celebrates the duality of human nature, where champagne meets cyanide, machine-gun riffs meet the catchiest choruses out of Scandinavia since ABBA.

Listen to the first track “Unge Kniva” below. “Natur” will be released on March 9th, 2018.

Known for being one of the most incendiary and influential bands in hardcore and modern metal history, apocalyptic heavy music icons Integrity return with their highly anticipated, 12th studio album entitled “Howling, For the Nightmare Shall Consume”.

A conceptual foretelling of the final days of Armageddon, “Howling, For the Nightmare Shall Consume” is a manifestation of pentecostal nightmares and religious depravities, wrought with fire and brimstone sermons and occult prophecies bathed in waves of destruction.

Relapse Records is extremely proud to announce the signing of hardcore legends Integrity. Originally formed in 1988, Integrity are known for being one of the most incendiary and influential bands in American hardcore and modern metal history and have released 11 full-length albums and a litany of splits / EPs including a recent split with Power Trip. Integrity are set to record their new full-length album later this year which will be released by Relapse in 2017.
