Sacred Reich (USA) - Nu Sound Of...

Thrash metal gem Sacred Reich at the only exclusive concert in Randal.

Thrash metal legend Sacred Reich returns to Slovakia. The American band, which was one of the prominent names of the golden era of thrash metal, will bring an energetic dose of fast riffs, furious solos and an uncompromising club atmosphere to the Randal Club on July 26, 2026. It will be their only exclusive concert in Slovakia.

Thrash metal whirlwind full of fast guitar riffs and furious solos - that's how you can characterize the American band Sacred Reich from Phoenix. It was in the eighties and nineties, when thrash metal was on the rise and reaching its peak, that the band drew significant attention to itself with the albums Ignorance (1987), The American Way (1990), Independent (1993) and Heal (1996).

However, after this period came a lull in the creation of new songs and finally a six-year hiatus in the activities of these Arizona veterans. Subsequently, a reincarnation came in a new line-up, in which Phil Rind (bass guitar, vocals) and Wiley Arnett (lead guitar) are the founding members, and they are joined by Eduardo Baldo and guitarist Joey Radziwill, who replaced the late Jason Rainey.


Keeping fit and at the same time remaining authentic is not easy in the metal scene. After years, many lose their youthful zeal, lose their defiance, and lose the energy and charm for which fans once followed them. However, Sacred Reich avoided this, thanks to the fact that they still regularly play in clubs. Their form is confirmed by the last three years, during which they accompanied bands such as Hatebreed, Exodus and Sepultura on tour.

Aquilla from Warsaw will present themselves as support with their garage thrash metal. The offspring of the new wave of British heavy metal, who claim the legacy of bands such as Skull Fist or Enforcer, also identify with the aesthetics of the eighties and with inspirations from science fiction, for example from the films 2001: A Space Odyssey, Dune, Alien, Blade Runner or Interstellar. The international metal scene found out about them after they won the local Wacken Metal Battle competition and then performed at the Wacken Open Air festival. They are currently working on their second studio album and are also preparing for this tour.

Sacred Reich and Aquilla will play the only exclusive concert in Slovakia on July 26 at the Randal Club in Bratislava.
