UMUR
"Nothing is Sacred" is the sixth full-length studio album by Danish death/thrash/groove metal act Konkhra. The album was released through Chopshop Records in February 2009. It´s the successor to "Reality Check" from 2003. There have been a couple of lineup changes since the predecessor as drummer Johnny Nielsen has been replaced by Mads Lauridsen and lead guitarist Kim Mathiesen has been replaced by Michael Skovbakke. The usual suspects are bassist Lars Schmidt and lead vocalist/guitarist Anders Lundemark.

The music on "Nothing is Sacred" is death metal with elements of thrash metal and groove metal. So it´s pretty much a continuation of the hybrid death/thrash/groove metal style of "Reality Check". Lundemark still sounds like a less recognisable and powerful Robb Flynn (Machine Head) with his raw throaty singing style and the riffs are still heavy, meaty, and groove laden. Konkhra´s challenge here is that they struggle to write memorable tracks so while "Nothing is Sacred" is relatively enjoyable while it plays, it´s not an album where you remember anything from after it has finished playing. Most tracks sound a bit the same and use the same stylistic elements.

That doesn´t mean that "Nothing is Sacred" is a bad quality release and I´m sure listener´s into the most raw and brutal parts of Machine Head´s repetoire could find something to appreciate here, but old school death metal fans should stay clear of this one. This is definitely not Konkhra as they sounded during their peak death metal period from 1990-1995. "Nothing is Sacred" features a raw and powerful sounding production job, and upon conclusion it´s a good quality release, although I of course have a few issues with it, as described above. A 3 star (60%) rating is warranted.
