SACRED STEEL “Live Blessings” DoCD+DVD Massacre
It’s time for their first official live recording. They play the best tunes
from their five albums (“Tonight The Witches Ride”, “Carnage Rules The Fields
Of Death”, “True Iron Force Of Iron Glory”, “Master Of Thy Fate”, “The Rites
Of Sacrifice”, “Metal is War”, “Blood On My Steel”…), without forgetting
the fucking classics that are “Wargods Of Metal”, “Slaughter Prophecy” or
“Heavy Metal To The End” which is defintely one of the best metal hymns written
in the nineties. I just would have preferred the choice of “Lust For Blood”
instead of the average “Stormhammer”. That is really a live album of authentic
metal, with the roots deeply in the american metal (heavy, power, speed and
early death at times) of the eighties. The dvd includes the concert plus
some bonus : tracks recorded live in 97-98 in the bootleg way, plus an hilarious
parody (more metal and alcool spirit) of the “Bohemian Rhapsody” scene from
the stupid movie “Wayne’s World”. If you don’t know SACRED STEEL, “Live Blessings”
will be the good choice to start with them, considering the nice price that
this release is sold, and there is value for money ! The band is currently
recording their new album (to be out at the end of ’06) with producer Harris
John.
