[@comeb9427]

thanks dude 🤘

[@Chromeboy2003]

More like Manifest Inner Self. Great to have them back though.

[@esb3906]

God bless you

[@matthudson6686]

DamnedIntrovert thank you 🙏

[@stoovil666]

Damn man. Phil’s voice is so good; as good if not better than any time in the last 30 yrs. seeing them back on form is just killer. Props Dave... right and tight as even. Boom

[@SuperStrik9]

Wiley's guitar playing is also as good if not better than ever. Awakening is a really good album and a great return by the band. Hopefully they'll release another album in the near future.

[@chriskato76]

Sacred Reich kicks asses. This is a one of the most underrated thrash metal bands of all times. Loves this guys, the energetic songs and Phil Rind's voice. Great gig!!!

[@wdbm86]

Dude's voice sounds just like in the studio version, gotta respect that after all this time

[@66Nick66]

I seen them last year and I swear the sounded better than the album

[@wdbm86]

@@66Nick66 lucky you

[@ozricness]

I think they've toured relatively little, so that plays a part too. Keeps you more sane too.

[@SSGregory]

Phil is such an upbeat guy. I remember meeting him years and years and YEARS ago and thinking, "Jeez, what a nice dude." And then SR proceeded to shred my face off.

[@patrikkovalcik8850]

Never thought Dr. House, Big Lebowski and Moby would make such a great music...fckn brilliant!

[@Strike1stCobraKaiTV]

I mean Hugh Laurie aka dr house does play music.

[@scipioafricanus1346]

Hahahahahaha x 1000

[@wildanS]

Hugh Laurie also did the Ratamahatta sessions with Sepultura, good dude.

[@larryphillipsjr.1607]

😂🤣

[@hinjurock]

The main character from The Big Lebowski is called "The Dude".

[@DP-eb2yn]

These boys supported Sepultura on the Chao's A.D tour at festival hall Melbourne Australia 1994 . titanic concert never forget it ..ever.

[@PaulRJ]

I was there, meet the guys backstage. super cool dudes !!!

[@schwaddi73]

Sacred Reich,make American Thrash Metal great again!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@rodrigoortega6496]

McClain nailed it!, such an underrated drummer, he's a beast.

[@hinjurock]

He's good for sure, but Greg Hall fit better in Sacred Reich.

[@chrisberg2083]

He is too tight on American WAY.

[@eastcumbriancollector983]

Dave takes his health & drumming seriously.

[@KunalMukherjee3701]

But Greg Hall style of playing suited them more

[@michaelcarleno8952]

their not the same without Greg and Jason… and Phil is a total fkn douch canoe!

[@observadordaguerra]

Phil Rind is a chubby version of Jeff Bridges. Fantastic vocalist and bass player. I just love Sacred Reich. Cheers from Brazil!

[@cyclopsvideo1]

So glad to see Sacred Reich back and still crushing it.

[@richarddavis896]

I have loved sacred reich since they first came out.surf Nicaragua,heal, independent,the american way.kick ass music.i dont know why they didnt get a more bigger mainstream exposure.i bought evety cassette tape,c.d. ,record they came out with.every song is good.not a bad song in the catalogue.and one of my personal favorites, ""ask ed"" just hanging out,smoke a little weed (with the bong hit at the end 👍) awesome to see this small little venue with an intimate setting.rock on sacred reich 🤟🤟🤟🤟

[@gringochucha]

I remember seeing these guys live with Sepultura a while back. I was there for Sepultura, but Sacred Reich blew them out of the water. They absolutely killed it, whereas Sepultura felt completely distant and sterile. Awesome live band.

[@scarsofenvy2882]

WE WERE THERE!!!!! GREAT SHOW!! The new music is sounding killer and you guys are still some of the chillest dudes we know! Glad to see SACRED REICH is BACK!!!

[@dougfisher6017]

Man. They're still so great!

[@kpdtox]

what a kickass band, they're as old as the big four and as heavy as the big four,

[@tttarms1970]

And kick Metallica's ass

[@hinjurock]

@@tttarms1970 No.

[@hinjurock]

They actually came out a few years later and are a few years younger than the original members of the Big 4. Sacred Reich are in their early 50's - the members of the Big 4 bands are in their late 50's.

[@Mattnh]

And hold up really well. Like really, really well.

[@TobyJames000]

They are part of the big four in my opinion.

[@jamese3409]

Hell Yeah... sounding killer Brothers.. Arizona Pride..!!!

[@mroc7113]

Always loved Sacred Reich, great to see em back, this crushes ! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@leonardharverson8660]

Keep coming back to this in large part due to Wiley’s solo in The American Way. 😮

[@gwsmusic68]

Used to play American Way in my band back in the day! All our friends would be headbanging! Good memories love these guys! Thrash forever!

[@bobjohnson5218]

Kerrang really puts out some High Quality videos!!!

[@heresjohnny999]

wow kerrang plays real metal

[@HWY80Thrash]

Heck yes! Sounds excellent live! Phil's vocals are always killer and I love Wiley's guitar tone and voicing; he's so original. Killer mix BTW, nice job sound person aka Jeff Filmer! Violent!

[@jmaucvdg]

Awesome band!!! and the best is the headbanging of the white t-shirt guy hahaha 14:26

[@alickandreades6314]

Awesome the drummer is excellent. Thanks for the post much appreciated.

[@nps1016]

Cool. I’ve always loved Sacred Reich, the band sounds great and I’m looking forward to picking up the new album. Hopefully I can see them live this year or next year.

[@BigHappySmileyFace]

So happy to see them playing again!!! Killer new material too.

[@Metalhead-4life]

Id kill to see SR in a small venue like this, havent seen them since Danzig/Sacred Reich at Peony Park. Blazed up w/ the dudes!!!

[@bayareametal5462]

Fantastic, real classic thrash is back .... Thanx kerrang. I'll see them near my house at Savigny le temple in october 🤘🇫🇷

[@jamesseymour3572]

Damn man that was too short!! Excellent little set though

[@anthonyfinch550]

Very underrated thrash titans. Great band. I’ll be sharing the stage with them next week. Can’t wait.

[@germanperezbottesi4458]

Sacred Reich, the best lyrics in thrash metal

[@liamforster3606]

Shout out to the guy in the front with the white shirt, he must have had some stiff neck the next day

[@TrumpetsInMy4x12]

It's impressive \m/

[@jagermeister830]

Andrew W.K. is a pro🤘

[@TheDonnerPartyNJ]

Sam!

[@somedoomermetalhead7377]

Headbanging is a dying art, we need more metalheads to keep it alive 🤘

[@baax]

Just saw that they are coming down to Australia next year with Violence!, YAY!!!

[@Corplackey]

Awesome! McClain back in Sacred Reich and Phil Demmel back to doing Vio-Lence. The greatest part of Machine Head breaking up!

[@tabonejohann]

I say wait ! Robb flynn is a man behind many things if MH do another album with the recent line up they might give a kickass comeback . But just wait \m/

[@mitchellr.edwards381]

Amen to that man.I believe the planets are starting to align!

[@elliott333]

Now Machine Head got a guy from Decaptitated and a guy from Devilment!!

[@Martin2k17]

@@elliott333 doesn't matter, it's still just Robb with bunch of mercenaries... He does all the music ever since Catharsars

[@hinjurock]

Machine Head were a B-grade Pantera rip-off band when they first came out, then they got worse with each album. Fuck that band.

[@manasyt]

They should tour with Prong! 😎

[@toddkent2644]

They did

[@jgarcia1977]

Moby on drums sounds great!

[@leguernpascal1673]

Sacred reich is back......for sure!

[@paul6402]

Perfect 1,2 punch to kick things off!

[@Olegstuff21986]

Great to have Sacred Reich back, those guys rule! Happy to see them having fun making music again. They're definitely a vintage and somewhat "cult" thrash band.

[@leonardharverson8660]

Great set - love seeing these guys back at it.

[@leonardharverson8660]

Also: Wiley - Underrated player

[@rded2435]

Sehr geil. Eine meiner absoluten Lieblingsbands von früher wieder am Start.

Unas de mi bandas favoritas y una que vaya a saber porque no llegaron a ser lo que deberian haber sido. Hoy con disco nuevo siguen siendo increibles!!!!

Phil's voice sounds stronger than ever!!!

[@MrRoundthetwist]

Outstanding! Wish I had of been there!! 🤘🏼☠️🤘🏼

Amazing to see these guys back!!!

[@jfpk114]

Roll on December. Can't wait to see them in Dublin.

[@conormaguireofficial]

Seeing them in Belfast! \m/

[@SuperStrik9]

Awakening is a really good album. Right up there with Sacred Reich's previous albums. Love the fans up close thrashing out and playing air guitar. That would be me if I was there lol.

[@dickslickerson486]

I would have no problem paying a heafty sum of money to be one of 100 or so people to see them live in a small setting like this,They should do a tour of small places like this and some of their real fans would pack out these dive bars and proudly pay for it, it sounds amazing. Imagine being there in person. And both new songs sounded FKN killer .

[@chadho54]

so happy for this. great gig guys

[@Randy-jz9ox]

I saw this band with Danzig in 1993. Genitorturers was the opening act.

Saw these guys open for Sepultura in Boston, Massachusetts at the Channel in 1991. They were on the American way tour and they had just got Dave McClain as their drummer. Sick of it all was there, they were great, too. Napalm Death played, but they sounded like one huge wall of noise. A great show, though! Great memories.

[@JadeDude1973]

Oh shit I was there too, Sepultura headlined and it was Max's birthday so someone brought out a cake, and of course it ended up in the pit.
