Canadian thrash legends Sacrifice finally release a follow-up to their 2009 effort The Ones I Condemn. This album is simply called Volume Six and it was released in 2025. And while its the first Sacrifice album in a decade and a half, it has many of the same strengths and sonic characteristics as the excellent comeback album. Its pretty much picks up where The Ones I Condemn left off. That much is clear when the first riffs of the fantastic opening track Comatose burst out of the speakers. Sacrifice still masters the art of the hyper-aggressive riff, and Urbinati’s high-pitched bark is still as powerful as it ever was. Also, judging from his precise and highly energetic performance, it’s hard to believe that drummer Gus Pynn is already in his late fifties. The band blasts through tracks like We Will Not Survive, the classic Sacrifice track Missile, and the annihilating Explode like a bunch of rabid teenagers, only with the refinement that comes with experience. Sacrifice is often mentioned in the same breath as Razor and Infernäl Mäjesty as representatives of the more vicious side of Canadian thrash metal. And yet, I have always considered them better than either of those bands, simply because Sacrifice’s songwriting is surprisingly sophisticated. Sure, they can fire high-speed riffs at the listener like there’s no tomorrow, but they are better aware of the power of dynamics than their peers. This isnt their best album but its so good that it should be exactly what a fan would want
