Sacrificium
Death Metal
Stuttgart, Germany
“Versatile, energetic and profound - without neglecting brutal linearity. That's distinctive for Sacrificium from Stuttgart, Germany. A ten-year band history with many live appearances and quite a few line-up changes helped the band to achieve their maturity. Founded in 1993 in Weinstadt as a thrash metal band, soon after they changed their style and since then they blast with might in the death metal vein. The first demo CD was released in 1996 followed by the demo tape Mortal Fear in 1998 which was also spread in the press.
In 2002 there was a major step forward with their first full length CD Cold Black Piece of Flesh released on Whirlwind Records. Basically into the old school death metal vein but with a significant approach to the modern views if the genre, Sacrificium made clear how they would carry from that point.
That caught the attention of the press again (e.g. Rock Hard 2/2004 7.5/10 points) gradually building up a striking name for the death metal genre and supporting it with live shows everywhere they could. At live shows Sacrificium roll with precision, energy and emotions over the audience showing their experience on the stage. On several locations, small and big clubs and festivals throughout Germany and Europe they shared the stage with bands like Extol or My Darkest Hate.
On the 28th of November 2005 the band released their new, second full length record Escaping the Stupor with Black Lotus Records. Followed by reviews (e.g. Rock Hard 7,5/10, Legacy 10/15, Metalnews.de 6/7) and interviews in the magazines around the globe.”
