SACRED REICH To Play 11th Annual D-Low Memorial Concert

Arizona-based metallers SACRED REICH are on board for the upcoming 11th Annual D-Low Memorial featuring SOULFLY.

Other acts on the bill include CAR BOMB, SIOP, HERE LIES TREACHERY and TALE OF A MASSACRE.

The show is scheduled for August 31st at the Marquee Theatre in Tempe, Arizona.

The D-Low Memorial Festivalis a special event every year; in recent years, the show has been filmed for Soulfly's The Song Remains Insane DVD release, and last year Igor Cavalera joined Soulfly on stage for the first time ever - reuniting Max and his brother to make music again. There's no telling what's in store for this year's festival, but it promises to be brutal.

Tickets can be purchased at this location.

SACRED REICH Issue Mid-Tour Update

Arizona-based metallers SACRED REICH check in with the following update from bassist/vocalist Phil Rind:

"I am writing on Gump, our tour manager's computer and everything is in German and I dont know how to capitalize, use punctuation or hit enter, so bare with me.

We had a great three days in London, 2 sightseeing and drinking and a great show at Scala. Thanks to everyone for coming out from Ireland, Poland, Greece, Holland, Italy, France, Scotland and those who just had to hop the tube.

It was a great feeling to be there with all of you and we could feel how special it was to you and we felt the same way, thank you.

We just spent two beautiful days in Paris seing all the sights, I love France, all the stuff about the French not liking Americans or being rude is just a lie. Go see Paris.

I am sitting in Biebob, in Vosselaa, Belgium. They are checking the drums tonight, will be fun, and tomorrow we head to Eindhoven for a family reunion. And saturday is Wacken: Open Air.

So if you are coming to the shows we'll see you soon."

SACRED REICH Cancel Appearance At D-Low Memorial Show

Reunited Arizona thrashers SACRED REICH have issued the following:

"We regretfully have to cancel our appearance at the D-Low Memorial Show on Friday. (Guitarist) Wiley (Arnett) wrecked his dirt bike while out riding and broke a few ribs. He's doing well but is unable to perform this weekend.

We apologize to anyone looking forward to seeing us play, and we are dissapointed that we will not be part of the show. We were happy to have the opportunity to pay our musical respects to Dana.

Hopefully we can be part of next years bill and play a full set for Dana."

Featuring SOULFLY, CAR BOMB, SIOP, HERE LIES TREACHERY and TALE OF A MASSACRE, the show is scheduled for August 31st at the Marquee Theatre in Tempe, Arizona.

SACRED REICH Announce YouTube Contest Winner

SACRED REICH bassist/vocalist Phil Rind has issued the following update:

"We have chosen a winning video from YouTube. Go to the Sacred Reich page and check it out. We will be checking your comments. (Note: view the winning video below.)

Thanks to all those who posted. We especially like the SR covers. I think I might ask Wiley to post a video lesson of how to play 'The American Way' riff because no one ever gets it right. It's a goofy little riff but it always throws everyone off. It's not a power chord. You bar the a & d strings on the 2nd then 1st frets. Try it.

Peace, Phil."
