Description

Sacrilege were a female-fronted thrash metal band from the Midlands region of England. Despite having played relatively few gigs during their existence, Sacrilege are today recognised as an important band; both as an influence on later heavy metal and doom metal bands, and as an example of the blending of hardcore punk, radical politics, and heavy metal that occurred during the 1980s, making Sacrilege one of the prototypical crust punk bands of the time.
Their second release, Within the Prophecy, was recorded in January 1987 at Birmingham Rich Bitch Studios with Rob Bruce and producer Mike Ivory. It was released later that year through Under One Flag Records, a subsidiary of Music for Nations. Sacrilege underwent a significant line-up change at this juncture, replacing drummer Baker with Paul Brookes, bassist May with Paul Morrisey and adding rhythm guitarist Frank Healey.

Offering a great lesson in British thrash metal history, we brings a classic album back into the spotlight. Sacrilege WITHIN THE PROPHECY largely influenced the thrash and extreme metal movement in the U.K. during the late 1980s. Interestingly, Sacrilege was among the very few female-fronted thrash metal bands ever to exist. The band music was raw, crusty, and brutal, with a veiled sense of melody. BEHIND spits punk-inspired streetwise venom, while WITHIN bulldozes the listener with thick riffs and refined compositions. Combined, they set is a massive slab of classic metal.
==================================================
5.0 out of 5 stars Metal/punk crossover at its best,
The album has a great thrash sound, and I loved singer Tam vocals.

Most bands at that time were  getting into Sacrilege. Vocally that Lynda “Tam” Simpson was so cool and sounded cooler than any thrash vocalist I had heard. Everything about this record is awesome; it’s got those cool riffs you could mosh your ass off to this one. A timeless album of authoritative roar, but yet another forgotten pillar

Napalm Death featuring their cover version of Sacrilege’s ‘Lifeline’! , Original on the Behind the Realms of Madness [Full-length July 19th, 1985]

“Napalm Death covered lifeline for many reasons but really its a classic from our past of growing up and being part of a scene that really meant something to us,the song has a lot of energy both musically and lyrically. Sacrilege albums  stand the test of time; most albums from the same time frame don’t !” Shane Embury, Napalm Death, Dec ’15
