SACRIFICE release first new album in 16 years, announce special release shows -
Tuesday 27 October, 2009
Legendary Toronto thrashers SACRIFICE have a brand new album that Sonic Unyon is thrilled to be releasing in Canada. The Ones I Condemn is the band's first new album since 1993 and the first to feature the original line up of the band since 1990's Soliders of Misfortune. It's a classic return by the band, it could have been released in 1991 quite easily as it sits well with their other albums. The Sonic Unyon Canadian version of the album also contains a cover of the RUSH classic "Anthem" that is unbelievable and must be heard.
To celebrate the release of the album, the band is doing two special CD release shows. They will do a co-headlining show November 7th at Winnipeg's Garrick Centre with PROPAGANDHI (who wrote a song about the band, "A Banger's Lament" on their last album) and a Toronto CD release show on November 21st at The Opera House. To hear just how deadly the new album is, please check out a few songs on their myspace, located online at www.myspace.com/sacrificecanada .
