Conceived In Fire
''Conceived in Fire'' is the sixth album by the Christian metalcore band Living Sacrifice. It was the band's final album before 2008 when the band reunited, minus Percussionist Matthew Putman. Critical reception Jason Taylor of AllMusic writes "Living Sacrifice's undeniable talent matched with Barry Poynter's vicious production skill has succeeded yet again, conceiving a record that matches the spectacular ''The Hammering Process'' at every turn." Steve Rozema of Jesus Freak Hideout reports "Personally, I think that Conceived in Fire is one of Living Sacrifice's best albums yet. They continue to mature while keeping their old sound that Living Sacrifice fans have grown to love. If you're not a fan of hardcore music such as Figure Four, ZAO, Norma Jean, or Demon Hunter, I suggest steering clear of this album- Living Sacrifice's brutal vocals are prominent throughout it. But if you are, this would be a great addition to your CD collection." Greg Pratt of ''Exclaim!'' stated "It ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
