Rob Urbinati from Canadian thrash legends SACRIFICE recently spoke with Metal-Rules.com and offered a track-by-track overview of the band's forthcoming album, The Ones I Condemn. It appears below in its entirety.

"Here we go then...

'We Will Prevail' -- "A short instrumental that begins with some cool slow harmony riffs that ends with a fast part that will immediately erase any doubts about Sacrifice."

'The Ones I Condemn' -- "The title track with some killer riffs and chaotic intensity. It will be mentioned in the same breath as our best classics."

'Give Me Justice' -- "Begins mid-paced and explodes into maybe the tightest thrash picking we have ever done. Probably the most melodic on the album, but I mean melodic in the context of Sacrifice. It is totally ripping with vengeance."

'The Great Wall' -- "The first doomy riffs give way to some chugging double bass and then kicks into total overdrive. This song is classic Sacrifice. Vocally, probably my favorite and Gus really kicks the shit out of his drums on this one. Lyrically inspired by the Chinese battle text The Art Of War."

'Tetragrammaton' -- "My favorite on the album. Starts pure evil and has some dynamic parts that build the intensity to a completely head caving end. There is a short part in the middle with soft guitar that is one of the most evil sounding things we’ve ever done. I love this song."

'Atrocity' -- "Gus has his kick drums drive this one. Joe’s leads are great in this… as they are on the whole album. Really memorable stuff, not just random arpeggios and sweeps… Feel and tasteful phrases. Lyrically inspired by some child soldier stuff I had been reading that was so insane it was hard to believe."

'Hiroshima' -- "Pure thrash metal. Some say it has a slight old hardcore influence like Forward To Termination era Sacrifice. Will be a fan favorite. Usually earlier than song 7 on an album the filler comes in, not here. We considered using this for the opening track."

'The Devils Martyr' -- "The fastest song on the album. Two minutes of relentless pounding. Torment In Fire type Sacrifice."

'Ultimate Power Corrupts' -- "Scott plays with his fingers, and the fact that his bass playing is airtight on a song like this blows me away. Kind of a mid-paced, fast song."

'Desolation Alive' -- "This is an epic 7+ minute one. A couple of people close to us passed away during the writing and recording of this album. When friends die, it kind of makes you look at your own mortality, that is what this deals with and has some very haunting parts. Really tasteful lead playing, great riffs and drumming, the ones who inspired it would have loved it."
