Editor's note

Sacrilege, the UK thrash band that kept it rough

A British metal outfit from the '80s that stuck to its dark, aggressive sound through lineup shifts and occasional criticism.

For a sense of their early sound, 'Sight Of The Wise' and 'In Winter Enticed' hold up. Later, 'Awaken (Suryanamaskar)' shows they hadn't lost that edge.

They came out of the UK in 1984 with a fast, aggressive thrash style that defined their early work. Songs like 'In Winter Enticed' from their first album 'Behind the Realms of Madness' set the tone. They kept that dark edge alive through later tracks like 'A Violation Of Something Sacred,' never really softening up.

They formed in 1984 and released 'Behind the Realms of Madness' the next year. Through the late '80s, albums like 'The Last Supper' and 'Turn Back Trilobite' came out as members like Ian Torr and Andy Green joined. They just kept playing their style without much fuss.

Archive material and source history

Sacrilege formed in the UK in 1984 with Damien on vocals, Damian Thompson and Paul Schulmeister on guitars, Andy Baker on bass, and Jon Hedgcock on drums. They put out their first album, 'Behind the Realms of Madness,' the following year. Songs like 'Sight Of The Wise' and 'In Winter Enticed' came from that early period of fast, aggressive thrash.

They kept at it through the late '80s with albums like 'The Last Supper' and 'Turn Back Trilobite.' The lineup shifted over time, with Ian Torr and Andy Green passing through on bass and drums. Their sound had a dark, rough edge that fit with the underground metal scene of that decade.

Some of their material dealt with heavy themes, which drew occasional criticism. But they kept working, and tracks like 'A Violation Of Something Sacred' and 'Awaken (Suryanamaskar)' showed they hadn't softened. They were one of those bands that just kept playing what they played, without much fuss about it.
