My own personal and honest opinion of this album: Super boring music and vocals, and we get it bro: God is on Wrath mode in your end of the world scenario, a judgement is coming, dread and desolation, darkness and despair, a reckoning will come, you are thrown into the lake of fire, the time for the the Almighty to destroy is here, etc., etc...why do the the lyrics have to be so lazy that it makes it embarrassing to listen to this music? If this was released in 1992, I would totally understand the lyrics given the youthfulness of their age, but they are too old for this.

Rant over....at least this didn't come out under the Sacrament name, I'll give them that.

Sorta like the countless and lazy “hail Satan” lyrics from other bands…

To each his own I guess.

I’m not gonna lie… I miss the old Sacrament thrash sound, but I also like this new stuff too! But then again, I like groove in my metal sometimes.

You want lazy and repetitive? Look no further than Kerry King and Glen Benton. Just sayin…

The “wrath of God” lyrics also works very well with metal.

All that time away really didn't help these guys. Its not bad, but its definitely not good either.

Well at least you don’t completely hate it!

I think they are just getting warmed up and shaking the rust off. The new guitarist is a lot more progressive in his playing. It’s not straight ahead thrash. It probably one of those albums that gets better over time. We’ll see…

HAHAHA!! That's almost a miracle! I heard potential in what could be. I haven't written it off. The vocalist is good, the music is "interesting" but it sounds like they are confused on their direction. I think they can spend more time on the lyrics too, because they are written like a 5th grade Sunday school student. Being 50 something years old and writing like that??? hahaha

Still better than Guns N Roses though by FAR!

Fair enough!

I agree that the direction and lyrics could use more development. They have been out of the game for a long time! It’s possible that they just wanted an extremely simple and clear message for the lyrics.

My sentiments on the lyrics exactly

A Day of Wrath sounds like ToA.
