Living Sacrifice
LIVING SACRIFICE
In Memoriam
Generous posthumous best-of by Arkansas extreme metal royalty Living Sacrifice summarizes a lengthy career. Beyond giving an infulential veteran act a grand, if visually understated, farewell, it goes on to prove another point often lost within the breakdown of subgenres. That is, the sonic continuity from one niche of extremity to another flows with no enormous chasms. At least within LS's sonic breadth. Though they morphed from initial thrash and death metal explorations, later, more structurally experimental work still sounds of a piece with what they recorded as teens. From three strong new pieces reocrded in early '05, tracks run chronologicaly backwards, giving a devolutionary history of the last 15 years of sophisticatedly edgy headbanging. Only live and cassette-era tracks would have made In Memoriam more complete. [Solid State] JAMIE LEE RAKE
