Sacred Reich - Heal - CD DIGIPAK

“Heal” is the 4th studio album by the Thrash Metal legends, originally released in 1996 via Metal Blade Records and produced, engineered and mixed by Bill Metoyer.

“We are happy to re-issue the Heal record. It has some heavy tunes and I think was a bit overlooked at the time. You be the judge. Turn it up and play it loud,” comments SACRED REICH bassist/singer Phil Rind.

CD and vinyl track listings include the bonus track “Beef Bologna” (Fear cover, originally released as a bonus track on the 1996 Japanese release).
The CD digipak features a 12 page booklet.

Formed in 1985, Sacred Reich were an integral part of the 80s and 90s thrash movement, dropping four albums before splitting in 2000.
They would go on to reform in 2006 but strictly as a live act, dropping the Live At Wacken DVD in 2012, but it was only in 2018 that they started to work on new material.
“Over the last year, we wrote and demoed the songs for the new record. Our drummer Dave (McClain, ex-Machine Head) was still on tour with his old band so our buddy Tim Radziwill played drums on the demos along with his son, Joey, and they recorded it all at their studio. We wouldn’t be here today without their help, they helped get down the basic framework of the songs. They rule, and the whole process of recording was so positive, cool and fun.” Being very much aware of how their approach to the record affected the outcome definitely played into the finished product. “Leading up to it, we talked about the fact that you can’t separate the process from the result. Everything you do, how you do it, your attitude while you do it, all comes out in the end. So we tried to do things the right way – and by the right way, I mean, being open to what came.“
