“For years, Randy, the drummer and co-founding member of the iconic Christian rockers Mad At The World, infused the band’s sound with a powerful hard rock essence. However, it was in 1991 that he truly elevated his music to new heights with the release of his raw and haunting solo album “Sacrificium” under Intense Records. This debut album exudes a distinct Danzig vibe, especially evident in Randy’s vocals. The music itself is a slow, brooding amalgamation of doomy sludge, heavily influenced by the likes of Black Sabbath and Trouble. Tracks such as “Oppression” and the more spirited “Wicked Ways” immediately captivate listeners, with the latter boasting a chorus that lingers in your mind long after the song ends. Similarly, the relentless riffs of “Black Harvest” are bound to have metalheads headbanging to its infectious groove, while “Walls Of Hate” showcases a monstrous Black Sabbath-inspired riff, complemented by stellar guitar work from Randy’s brother Roger Rose. While the Danzig comparisons are warranted, the album draws from a plethora of influences, making it a multifaceted masterpiece. This remastered edition of “Sacrificium” by Retroactive Records in 2024 is a must-have for any fan of dark and heavy classics. The 2024 vinyl features amber waves coloured heavy-weight vinyl and a 12 x 12″ lyrics insert with band pics and even a special write-up direct to fans from Randy Rose. Limited to just 200 vinyl records!” -Retroactive Records
