Sacrament's debut release intends to brutalize from start to finish - mission accomplished! Originally released in 1990 on R.E.X. Records, Testimony of Apocalypse became an instant favorite with thrash fans. Songs like "Slave To Sin" were perfect examples of beefy thrash guitars and classic thrash vocals used to create an abrasive wall of sonic power. Unfortunately, this would be singer Mike Torone's only full release with the band. Even though his voice was perfect for the crunchy thrash sound of Sacrament, his work with the band was damaging his vocal chords. As an added treat, Retroactive Records obtained permission to include the 7 tracks from the ultra rare Presumed Dead EP as an added bonus. In 1989 the band took it upon themselves to release the EP, and until now it has never been available on CD or in stores. 1999 Seventh Street Records..Sacrament were leaders of the extreme thrash metal movement of the late 80's and as such were not an unsigned band for long. "Presumed Dead" is the one and only demo Sacrament ever released before signing to R.E.X. Records. The recording is rather rough, although not unlistenable. The nice thing about this demo is the amount of songs that are unique to it. I always though Mike Torone had a great thrash metal voice. One of most interesting things about this demo is hearing "Separate From Iniquity" with the Mike Torone singing. This song was later rewritten for 'Haunts of Violence' with Robert Wolfe,And Then After the band broke up, bassist Eric Ney went onto play with Sardonyx for a short time. In 1999 he reappeared with Joey Daub (ex-Believer)(http://www.holymetalrob.com/)
