Now on sale at ticket web.โจโจSACRIFICE originally formed in 1983 in Scarborough, Ontario, a suburb in the east end of Toronto. Taking influence from both the underground metal and punk scenes of the day, the then-teenagers released their debut album Torment In Fire in 1986 and established themselves as a band to watch. It was followed up by 1987โs Forward To Termination, featuring the video single โRe-animation,โ which ended up in regular rotation on Canadaโs Much Music video station the following year and even became the theme song for the channelโs long running metal music video show, the Pepsi Power Hour. Original Sepultura frontman Max Cavelera recently revealed Forward To Terminationto be one of his three favorite thrash metal albums of all time. Their third effort, 1990โs Soldiers Of Misfortune, has been praised as one of the most important Canadian albums ever, making NOW Torontoโs 50 Best Toronto Albums Ever list.
SACRIFICEย played a prominent role in the 1980s underground metal scene in Toronto, and along with Voivod, Razor, and Annihilator, is considered one of the โBig 4โ of Canadian thrash metal. The band released four studio albums on Diabolic Force in Canada, Metal Blade Records in the US, and Roadrunner Records in Europe before parting ways in 1993. After coming back together to play a reunion concert in 2006, the quartet released their fifth studio album,ย The Ones I Condemn, in 2009. Since reforming,ย SACRIFICEย has played major international festivals, including Belgiumโs Alcatraz Festival, Germanyโs Keep it True, Peruโs Ai-apaec, Maryland Deathfest and California Deathfest in the United States, and both the 2012 and 2018 editions of Japanโs True Thrash Festival, amongst others.
