Sacrilege UK

What does anyone think of the band Sacrilege? I am talking about the one with the following releases:

Behind The Realms Of Madness
Within The Prophecy
Turn Back Trilobite

They had a female singer and played death/thrash on the earlier releases and some type of prog/doom on the last one.

Any comments on the quality of their music or sound or any specific albums?

Behind The Realms Of Madness is really sick Speedy/Crusty Punk/Thrash goodness. Within The Prophecy is more refined straight up Thrashing. Not quite as good. Turn Back Trilobite is an awesome, head crushing Doom album with a few progressive moments. Excellent, really underrated band.

"Behind The Realms Of Madness" reminds me a bit of Détente´s "Recongnize No Authority", but I like the latter definitely better. "Within The Prophecy" is indeed more refined and sounds less raw. I like it better than its predecessor, but this is - as always - a matter of personal taste. As regards "Turn Back Trilobite", I´ve only got it on vinyl and I haven´t listened to it for a very long time - maybe also because, as far as I recall, the sound wasn´t too good.

The first two releases have been re-released together on one CD in 1998. It´s the one I´ve got. I don´t know if they´ve also been released separately on CD before. Unfortunately, the CD-booklet (a slight exaggeration) doesn´t contain any information apart from the names of the bandmembers and the songtitles, whereas the vinyl-version of "Within The Prophecy" contains all the lyrics.

good crusty death metal in the vein of Bolt Thrower and Amebix.
