SACRED REICH have announced a new album!

The US thrash metal legends are currently in the studio recording their first studio album in 23 years, titled Awakening, which is anticipated for release later this Summer.

The band recently welcomed the return of their former drummer, Dave McClain, following his departure from MACHINE HEAD after 23 years with the Bay Area metal outfit. Regarding the upcoming album, SACRED REICH‘s frontman, Phil Rind says, “recording is in full swing with producer Arthur Rizk at The Platinum Underground in Arizona. We are so excited to be back in the studio after 23 years and Dave is currently killing it on the drums. It sounds sick! Our new record, Awakening is due this summer. Stay tuned!
