A Beginners Guide To Thrash Metal

By Ben Timpson /

8. Sacred Reich €“ The American Way €“ 1990

Musically this album is the none-more-thrash style that was typical at the tail end of the movement€™s peak. Crunchy guitar tone - check! Pummelling and driving drums - check! Aggressive but decipherable and semi -melodic vocals yelled in key - check! Singer Phil Rind used his band as a vehicle for his educational tirades against society and social/political issues that seem even more relevant 22 years on from €œThe American Way€™s€œ original release.
