There wasn't much going on for metal fans in the Detmold area in the first half of the eighties. Luckily, the members of two bands met in a chip shop in 1982 and recognized their shared love of hard music by their long hair, leather jackets and mustaches, which were common practice at the time. At this moment SACRAFICE were born, who subsequently became local heroes - of course influenced by the NWOBHM that was just spilling over into Germany, but also by the usual suspects like Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Rainbow or Kiss, as well as Judas Priest and the early Accept .
Two unusual decisions were made: In the spirit of Def Leppard or Led Zeppelin, the band name was deliberately changed - so NOT Sacrifice, but Sacrafice. And they decided not to make the typical demo tape, but rather a 12" EP on their own. But the book “Heavy Metal Made In Germany”, which was published in the nineties via Iron Pages, lists the record as a “Top German Metal Rarity”. No wonder, because the aggressive heavy rock and metal are still popular today - or perhaps especially today - and are reminiscent of the optimism of the German metal scene in the first half of the eighties. This also applies to the three live tracks, which were painstakingly restored and took days of work.
Another house number are the tracks from the successor band TranQuilL (exactly, that's the correct spelling). The mostly overlong songs can be classified as heavy prog. Due to various circumstances, these gems remained (virtually) unpublished. Here, too, a lot of time and work was invested in restoring and mastering these private studio recordings (the CD version contains six long TranQuill songs, while the LP only had space for two pieces without losing sound quality). As always, the printed inlay contains liner notes (current interview with a former band member). Photos and other illustrations.
The CD version of the Golden Core re-release has already received very good reviews in Rock Hard and Good Times, among others!
