- Ghost Thief<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Awesome cover art notwithstanding, I find myself unable to get into this one very much. It\u2019s very similar in approach to The Infinite Order<\/em>, but it lacks the oomph that that album had in spite of its rather eclectic approach. Musically, there\u2019s nothing but sheer talent on display here, as per usual with this band. It\u2019s just that the album feels like a step back in terms of its energy and delivery. The songs, as far as modern metalcore goes, are solid, and for those who dig the brighter moments within In Flames\u2019 patchy post-Clayman<\/em> career, there\u2019s lot to enjoy here. But I find myself missing their signature explosive energy all the same. That, and this one just doesn\u2019t feel as heavy as previous efforts, no matter what style they were playing at the time. I\u2019m sure fans of modern metalcore acts like As I Lay Dying, Lamb of God and Killswitch Engage will find lots to enjoy on here, but for me (as someone who is largely not a big metalcore guy at all), it\u2019s the one album that just doesn\u2019t grab me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- Conceived in Fire<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Conceived in Fire<\/em> brought a return, to a degree, of the band\u2019s more brutal leanings in their past. Bruce Fitzhugh\u2019s ferocious vocal delivery took on a deeper tone on this one, and for me, it\u2019s always a welcome thing. Unfortunately, Conceived in Fire<\/em>, despite its heaviness, feels like The Hammering Process<\/em> Part 2, a re-visiting of the style of its predecessor but with a muddier production and not much in the way of the innovation that the band had probably by this point become known for. Still, this is a bruiser, and like I said, there really are no bad Living Sacrifice albums. Such is the nature of the beast when it comes to these lists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- The Infinite Order<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The all-dressed chip in the band\u2019s discography. Living Sacrifice here threw a whole ton of influences and sounds into the mix and somehow made it work. I can hear Bolt Thrower\u2019s \u201cThe IVth Crusade\u201d on \u201cUnfit to Live,\u201d Corpsegrinder-era Cannibal Corpse on \u201cOrganized Lie,\u201d Antestor on \u201cOverkill Exposure\u201d and In Flames all over the place. What makes this album work so well is its impressive, clear production, and the fact that the band injected some melodeath on here without feeling like they were lightening up too much. The Infinite Order<\/em> plays like a record of what might be all of their influences over the years, and makes it work. A fresh return after a far too long hiatus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- The Hammering Process<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
As I mentioned above, few albums proved as influential or memorable in my life as this one. Living Sacrifice had a sound that was of the time on this one, and yet transcended it entirely. It possessed the industrial rhythms of Fear Factory and the tribal drumming of Sepultura and Soulfly, but sounded far heavier and more brazenly raw than what those bands were up to at the time. What shone for me was the intensity and<\/em> the surgical precision of it all; sure, Meshuggah did the whole djent thing too, but Living Sacrifice came off less weird, less synthetic, less something<\/em>. This was organic. It was powerful. It hit like a dump truck. And when I first heard The Hammering Process<\/em> as a young man, I was blown away. Their live show around this time was insane – the lead Bruce Fitzhugh wielded his guitar like it some kind of industrial power tool, and it sounded like one too. And though The Hammering Process <\/em>lacks the barely-controlled energy of Reborn<\/em>, it focuses the sound of its predecessor into an industrial-strength rhythm machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- Inhabit<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Living Sacrifice\u2019s Inhabit<\/em> is arguably the band\u2019s darkest record. The half-rotten, churning noise of Nonexistent<\/em> is replaced by a sonic palette of even darker colours, ones of bludgeoning violence and haunting melancholic passages resulting in an even more intense listening experience. The riffs exude a kind of ominous foggy darkness, and D.J.\u2019s guttural yells cut through like a man shouting in defiance and desperation. Few death metal albums sound like Inhabit<\/em> does, thanks to its unique vocal style (though there is a little similarity to Nicke Andersson\u2019s as heard on Entombed\u2019s Clandestine<\/em>), hammering drums, and sense of haunting atmosphere, all stitched together into a Frankenstein\u2019s monster of murky, pulverizing riffs and pitch-shifted roars. This album is as subtle as being jackhammered into solid concrete, and yet it\u2019s possessed of the same dynamism heard on their other records; for every \u201cDeparture\u201d there\u2019s a \u201cNot Beneath\u201d. The production here is mercilessly thick and chunky, the riffs hitting with brute force and a sense of barely constrained power. Perhaps the band took a bit of a break and re-evaluated their approach after this one simply because it was just that intense<\/em>, to the point of exhausting the band. Whatever the case, it remains in most minds the band at their absolute heaviest. Not for the faint of heart, but one of the most unique death metal records around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- Reborn<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Few bands outside of Carcass could survive such a tremendous stylistic change as Living Sacrifice made on this album. With Carcass, however, one could hear it coming; they didn\u2019t simply switch from\u00a0Reek of Putrefaction\u00a0<\/em>to\u00a0Heartwork<\/em>\u00a0but progressed gradually more and more into a structured and melodic death metal style. But with Living Sacrifice, the change was an almost total about-face from the furious death metal of just a few years ago, and it worked on every level, even if not everybody liked it (and though I love it, I really,\u00a0really<\/em>\u00a0wish they\u2019d go back to death metal, but I digress).\u00a0Reborn<\/em>\u00a0was the album that established Living Sacrifice more in the mainstream consciousness; ironic, considering how absolutely raw and in-your-face this record is. Before metalcore became all about copping In Flames and At the Gates riffs, this album for all time showed what metalcore really should be all about. Living Sacrifice here perfect the style, and I\u2019ve yet to here another metalcore record that even remotely comes close to this. \u201cReject\u201d features the breakdown to end all breakdowns, and just in case you forgot that Living Sacrifice once played some absolutely rancorous death metal, \u201cLiar\u201d is here to remind you of that. Bruce Fitzhugh\u2019s vocals are cathartic and powerful, and sound angry without succumbing the self-loathing tones one would often hear in nu metal bands at the time.\u00a0Reborn<\/em> could have easily turned out to be a record showcasing a band succumbing to the times and the current trends (nu metal, groove metal, hardcore influences, etc.); instead, it rose above all of it, taking the band\u2019s trademark fury and energy and infusing it into a sonic approach that paid homage to its past while simultaneously doing something entirely new, stripped-down and raw. Truly, a band reborn.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- Living Sacrifice<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Living Sacrifice\u2019s explosive debut is like nothing else in their discography, as it\u2019s a full-blown thrash record. Back in the day, I used to play Slayer\u2019s Reign in Blood<\/em> to the point of nausea, and I simply couldn\u2019t get enough of it. Now, I find myself enjoying this one in the same way and for the same reasons, but also because it offers so much more in terms of energy, groove, and above all, impact. While Living Sacrifice definitely take a huge cue from Slayer, they infuse the blinding assaults with a dynamic sensibility, refusing to be content with simply blasting along to a short two-minute end. Tracks like \u201cInternal Unrest\u201d and \u201cNo Grave Concern\u201d aren\u2019t afraid to slow things down a little without losing any sense of power or impact. That said, it\u2019s tracks like \u201cThe Prodigal,\u201d \u201cAnorexia Spiritual\u201d and the total masterclass thrash of \u201cSecond Death\u201d that elevate this album to classic status. It\u2019s a blazing wild ride that slams into the listener like a precision missile strike, a headbanger\u2019s dream, and the sound of a band loaded with talent and barely-contained energy. Though Living Sacrifice would never replicate this sound again, it remains one of the most exciting, riveting metal debuts I\u2019ve ever heard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- Nonexistent<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
I know, I know. It has a spotty history of botched production jobs, frustrations in the studio, and all the rest. But after its rebirth in 2022 thanks to Nordic Mission\u2019s remastering and remixing job, Nonexistent <\/em>was given a whole new life. Channelling the most horrific elements of death metal at the time, Living Sacrifice here gave birth to one of the most filthy death metal records in existence. Much hay has been made over D.J.\u2019s \u201czombie\u201d vocals on this one, but listen to some early Obituary, Morgoth or Pestilence records, and you\u2019ll find that his unearthly howls on this one are in good company. What separates Nonexistent<\/em> from other records of its time is just how down and dirty it is in its approach, and yet how it is somehow able to be so pulverizingly heavy. Everything about this record is foreboding, violent and dark, lurching forward with a menacing groove before tenderizing the listener with blastbeats, guitar solos that sound more like Fitzhugh and Truby are ripping the strings off their instruments, and D.J.\u2019s searing, otherworldly screams. Despite its troubled birth, Nonexistent <\/em>to me remains one of the greatest death metal records of all time by one of the greatest and most influential Christian acts to ever form.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
