Editorial Reviews

Digitally remastered and expanded two CD edition of this 1993 album from the Phoenix-based Thrash Metal outfit. With upgraded layout plus five bonus tracks, this new and improved reissue will be an essential addition to every Thrash Metal collection! Sacred Reich formed in 1985. Singer/songwriter Phil Rind's interest was in socially-conscious and political Speed Metal. 16 tracks. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sacred Reich finest hour, December 9, 2005

Independent is the best of the releases Sacred Reich made, i really enjoy Surf Nicaragua and The American Way because this albums are also awesome but with independent they reached a level of improvement and technique really amazing, for instance "product" is marked by a constant riff perhaps a little mechanical but exciting, "pressure" is a little more trashy, "independent" have a lot of speed metal and theres also some great Sabbath tunes with slow riffs and drumming in the rest of the tracks, saddly this Arizona ensamble is not active anymore but their place in Metal history is secure.

4.0 out of 5 stars A solid metal disc., October 17, 2002

I got this disc about the time I was finishing high school. I saw the video for "Independent" on MTV's Headbanger's Ball and was hooked. I don't remember the video, but I'll never forget the tune. The title track is a great song as are "Supremacy", "If Only", and "Crawling". I also enjoyed the dystopian cover art-interesting. Definitely one of the better metal discs of the 90's and worth checking out. Too bad these guys never made more waves, they were quite good.

4.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, March 23, 2005

Yes, the often mentioned "under appreciated" SR with a brilliant follow up to 1990's American Way. To say this is a great thrash album alone does not do it justice. This is an all time classic Heavy Metal album in league with the great disc's of metal years prior and since. whether You like Proto metal like Sabbath, Proto speed metal like Accept, NWOBHM or Thrash, this disc deserves a place in any complete and respected CD collection.
