Sacrament - Testimony of Apocalypse

I finally updated from cassette to cd with this one. I hadn't listened to it in at least a decade. I'd forgotten how good this album and these guys were. What a great scene the Christian Thrash scene was back in the 80's and 90's. Then, I read a nice review on the back, by whom? Scott Waters! How cool is that?

My only complaint is how incredibly cheesy/flimsy the cardboard case and glued down cd tray is. Retroactive has done better work in the past.

I stopped buying Retroactive's stuff because of this, you might as well buy a digital copy and burn it.

I really enjoy that album a lot. Was blown away when I first heard it, and it's still a great listen all these years later. That being said, I think Haunts of Violence is even better still. That album sits right beside my all-time favourite thrash releases.

Good album for sure but like Sideshow mentioned Haunts of Violence is my favorite of theirs. There aren't very many thrash albums christian or secular that can touch it.

The Christian scene was awesome in the late 80s and early 90s. Stuff like these two albums, Living Sacrifices debut, The Crucified, Vengeance and Deliverance were all on regular rotation for me.

Love Sacrament!

GREAT record. I love both Sacrament albums.

Good album, but I prefer Haunts of Violence.

Haven't heard either one in several years but I think I remember liking Haunts better also. I used to have a sick shirt of theirs, maybe I'll post a pic of it here.

I really like both Sacrament albums....maybe a little bit of an edge goes to Haunts over Testimony, but the lead guitar work on both is outstanding!

I wish someone would properly remix/remaster both albums.

Retroactive did Haunts last year if I remember right.

So I completely forgot about this band until you guys started posting about them. I remember listening to half the demo of Haunts at the Bible House and feeling wonderfully grim :LOL:. It really is a great album and a joy to revisit. A lot of inventive mid-pace riffing and hardcore vocal excellence.

Chalking this up to another benefit of a forum like this. awwwwwwww...

I don't think it's remixed... And that's what it really needs.

Yeah, those vocals need to come down in the mix IMHO.
