Living Sacrifice Band - A Call To Brokeness FLAC album

The group’s fusion of progressive and hard rock became fully realized with the stunning A Call To Brokeness. You’ll be tempted to blow out your speakers on this one – the production is A-1, the gals’ vocals are especially dynamic, and the stinging loud guitar leads are all over the place. I find this an exceptional album, similar in some respects to the best of the early Tunesmith recordings, yet at the same time blowing them all away. Synthesizer and flute play a bigger role here, the latter sounding rather Tull-ish at one point. The eschatological emphasis continues on long tracks like ‘Ezekiel 38 & 39’ (5:28), ‘Armageddon’ (7:42) and a powerful climactic remake of Last Call’s ‘Marriage Supper Of The Lamb’ (8:24). Closes on a softer note with ‘Raging Sea’ and the dreamy title track (which also closes out the Last Call album). We’re talkin’ three essential classic slabs of vintage vinyl Jesus music here.
