Info:
An 80's act from the UK, Sacrilege was founded in 1984 and led by vocalist Tam Simpson (female vocalists in metal were pretty rare at the time). Their first two albums are more in the raw death/thrash realm, but by the time of their third album (with the interesting title Turn Back Trilobite), they'd progressed quite a bit. Trilobite is a bit of an oddity, especially for the time, basically a slow, doomy album with some almost progressive moments and some nods to their thrash heritage, combined with Simpson's vocals, which were also atypical for a doom band. Their somewhat unorthodox style, combined with a low profile on the live front, eventually relegated them to the ranks of the lesser-knowns, which is unfortunate since they did have something good going.
