SACRED REICH live @ Rethymno Rocks! #6 Friday 28 August 2026

Veteran Thrashers Sacred Reich are perhaps the most important band to emerge from the scene of Arizona, constituting an integral part of the American Thrash movement of the 80s and 90s. After marking a huge success with their iconic albums “Ignorance” & “The American Way” and the legendary “Surf Nicaragua” EP, Phil Rind, Wiley Arnett and the Reich were catapulted onto the big international stages, alongside giants of the era for years to come.

Sacred Reich’s lyrics have always been sharp and piercing, allegorical, darkly humorous, with a strong social undertone, inextricably linked to the bleak moments of world history, social inequalities and the suffering of war.

In the year 2026 and several years after 2019’s album “Awakening”, Sacred Reich’s old school Thrash Metal is still fresh, contemporary, alive & kicking, filled with roaring messages that are more relevant than ever. Highly respected by the Greek audience since the early days, the American masters promise an explosive, uncompromising and imposing performance at this year’s festival.

Rethymno Rocks! is ready to welcome one of the most legendary American Thrash Metal bands on Friday, August 28th at the Hill Stage of the Fortezza! See you ALL in the pit!
