Sacrifice announce new album ‘Volume Six’
SACRIFICE have announced a new album!
Titled Volume Six, the upcoming album from the Canadian thrash metal band is the long-awaited follow-up to 2009’s The Ones I Condemn, and is scheduled to be released in February next year, via Cursed Blessing Records.
Working once again with engineer Darius Szczepaniak – who was also at the helm for SACRIFICE’s 2009 effort The Ones I Condemn – Volume Six was recorded, mixed, and mastered at Phase One Studios in Scarborough, Ontario. Tracked over a period of sessions between September 2023 and May 2024, the eleven-song offering was produced by vocalist/guitarist Rob Urbinati and features the band’s original lineup, with lead guitarist Joe Rico, bassist Scott Watts, and drummer Gus Pynn as well as Urbinati.
“I write all the time,” says Urbinati about the latest album’s origins. “It was around 2017 when I wrote a couple songs that I thought were really good. I played them for the band, and they were totally happy with them and the direction. I wrote a couple more and Gus and I were making some real progress in getting the songs tight and even talking about recording, then the pandemic hit. My creativity completely dried up for whatever reason, even though I was sitting at home with nothing to do. There was nowhere to rehearse in the city because things would shut down, then open up, then close down again, so it was hard to get a consistent rehearsal schedule going and I just wasn’t feeling it. When things started coming back, our original plan was to do an EP, but we had enough songs that we were completely comfortable and happy with to do a whole album.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new song from the upcoming album; Antidote Of Poison. The new song was first premiered via Bravewords.
