Sacred Reich are back in the studio following a whopping 23 year hiatus since 1996’s Heal. The Arizona thrash outfit has returned to its roots for this one, recording the new album, Awakening, at The Platinum Underground in Arizona.

The project is being helmed by the prolific Arthur Rizk, who has produced the likes of Cavalera Conspiracy, Power Trip, and Code Orange.

Drummer Dave McClain, has returned to the fold, and according to bassist Phil Rind, he is, “killing it on the drums!”

Rind commented:

“Recording is in full swing with producer Arthur Rizk at The Platinum Underground in Arizona. We are so excited to be back in the studio after 23 years. Dave is currently killing it on the drums. Sounds sick! Our new record ‘Awakening’ is due this summer. Stay tuned! Tour dates across the planet coming your way!”
