Notice: Living Sacrifice Reformed

As some people may know, Living Sacrifice broke up way back in 2003. Two members got back together in 2005 to record the three new songs found in In Memoriam.

I know I'm late in hearing about this, but back in early February, the band announced that it was going to reform. The first task? Record a new album, currently untitled at the writing of this notice, and what else? Go on tour with Demon Hunter. With Demon Hunter. Notice how this is the first time I've written post such as this one. Also notice how Demon Hunter is the band with the most songs on this site, Living Sacrifice being the most frequent band to be posted lately.

You may have guessed that these are my two favorite bands: Living Sacrifice and Demon Hunter. Going on tour. Together. There is no way for me to express, in written words, how excited I am about this. I can just pray that they come somewhere remotely near my location. By remotely near, two or three hours away would count.

I hope this message gets to someone interested. But, knowing the inactivity of this blog, I doubt it. But I thought I'd post anyway.

#86: Imminent War - Living Sacrifice

Imminent War
Living Sacrifice

Genre: Death Metalcore



Unleashed chosen
Unleashed nation
War unleashed
Middle east
Lines are drawn in the sand
2002 chaos reigns in this sacred land
Target Israel forgotten sequel
Wars from the past
Why the hatred of these people
Is coexistence futile?
No such thing as coexist
No such thing as peace process
Exterminate, proclaim you Jihad
Destroy the infidel, dig your own grave
Chosen nation prophesied, the prosperous,
the hated ones, the hand of God
Jerusalem will resurrect
Right to exist
Chosen nation not forsaken
Right to exist
Resurrect
Right to exist
Resurrect
Unleashed

#85: 3X3 We Carried Your Body - Living Sacrifice

3X3 We Carried Your Body
Living Sacrifice

Genre: Death Metalcore



Sickly symptoms
Complete full on replete
Dismissed the rest
You threw your life behest
Ruptured mainline
Imbibe
Inflict
In pain
Suicide
You left us all
Self infliction
In pain
Mainline
Destroy
Self-loathe
It did not have to end
It all could have changed
So glamorous
So glamorous
Suffocating
You died on the floor of a bathroom
Ruptured and bloated with your insides destroyed
3x3 we carried your body that day
We put you in the ground
but no one saw the truth because others followed after
You died on the floor of a bathroom
Ruptured and bloated with your insides destroyed
You left us all
Self inflicted you left us all
Self inflicted
Destroyed

#84: Send Your Regrets - Living Sacrifice

Send Your Regrets
Living Sacrifice

Genre: Death Metalcore (Death Metal/Metalcore)



Incidental consequences
Growing larger by the second
Things I’ve said
Things I’ve done out of ignorance
I cursed the son
Passive resistance
Passive resistance
Sown in ignorance
If I’d had known the path I took
I could have told the stupid links to past mistakes
Take a flying leap into your fate
I was wrong for thinking I could not prevail
Kept my mouth shut for too long
This is not what I agreed upon
Passive resistance
Passive resistance
Believed the lies I cant repeat this procession of hatred
Defeat
Passive resistance
Passive resistance

#83: Not My Own - Living Sacrifice

Not My Own
Living Sacrifice

Genre: Death Metalcore



Self perception of this reason
Strive against this heart that's needing
Accused by this lust of flesh and death world

Born again life
Born again peace
Born again love
I am not my own

Cannot contain, disassociate my sorrow and pain
All distortions of hate, distortions of God
Dissect, massacre, dissipate

Born again life
Born again peace
Born again love
I am not my own

False hope in man
False faith in myself
False life adorned in destruction
Failed life in death once ripped me open
Now dissect, massacre

Born again life
Born again peace
Born again love
I am not my own

#82: Hand of the Dead - Living Sacrifice

Hand of the Dead
Living Sacrifice

Genre: Death Metal/Metalcore



Cut deep, the wound is open, infection sets in
Will this be my last or does the cut get deeper?
I can't feel; I can't feel walking with unopened eyes

Drowning is evidence; Drowning is evidence that fading is slowly taking root
Hand of the dead laid in stone, shape shift to convince
Drowning is evidence that fading is slowly taking root
Can't feel for the wound inside taking root
Can't feel for the wound inside

Lies that brought me here fade away
Misplaced this cure, misplaced this heart
Can't feel; Can't feel for the wound inside
Hand of the dead

#81: Bloodwork - Living Sacrifice

Bloodwork
Living Sacrifice

Genre: Death Metal/Metalcore



A simple test, probing loss, looking for a view
Tapping on a grave they call their own
I desire, I invite this process, injection begin

Begin, break the skin, salvation's quickly driven in
Pride in fracture, in subjection
A new supply running red with purpose
Nothing less than flawless in design
Flawless in design
Begin, break the skin, salvation's quickly driven in

Begin, break the skin, break the skin, break
Systematic in possession, igniting all within
Running red with purpose
Nothing less than flawless in design
Flawless in design

#80: Reach For the Sky - Living Sacrifice

Reach For the Sky
Living Sacrifice

Genre: Metal/Rock



Who am I to question
Every day to understand
This precious beginning
Now fading, passing
This is the feel of sadness
Where will solace find me?
Where will peace begin?
Where will peace begin?

I have the call to be true
Find a way for you
The peace be inside
Follow safely home

In my God, in His smile,
Nothing is impossible
Every day brings an awesome hope
Grace will lead the way
And joy will follow

My heart leaps at the sound of Your voice
Calling my name
And You are so perfect
In every way
A testimony of creation
Beautiful is Your Name

I can't wait to see Him when I wake
Refreshing and new
Simple and true
Formed by mercy
Formed by grace
Earth and sky
In Your eyes

Blessed
Pure
You're more than I deserve
You're my blessing
You are my wisdom
You're my freedom
You are my mission
I live for His glory
