Reborn is the fourth album by the Christian metal band Living Sacrifice. The album was released in 1997, and later re-released and remastered in 2004. In 2020, the band announce a vinyl re-release of Reborn, which sold out quickly. [6]
Reborn saw a drastic separation from their previous style, dropping most of the death metal sound of Nonexistent and Inhabit, in favor of more of a metalcore and hardcore punk sound. [7] The album was well-received by the metalcore and hardcore scene, whereas the death metal scene predominantly disregarded it. The album is widely considered as Living Sacrifice's biggest album. [7]
Stephen Thomas Erwine of AllMusic wrote "...the average metal fan will find much here of interest, particularly the pummeling riffs and shredding solos." [1] Fred Keel of Jesus Freak Hideout stated "Reborn is a Christian metal masterpiece recommended for fans of Demon Hunter and Becoming the Archetype." [2] Alex Figgis of Cross Rhythms, for the review of the original Reborn album, gave 10/10 and reported "They leave the listener in no doubt as to their heartfelt desire to share the gospel with those who have ears to hear; tacking the wisdom of the world head on with the seemingly foolishness "I God in Christ, with us much subtlety as a sledge hammer." [4] Tony Cummings, also of Cross Rhythms reviewing the reissue, also gave the album 10/10. "For more enlightened hard rock lovers, here's a chance to hear again a Christian hard music classic in all its brutal glory and catch that master guitarist, Jason Truby, in pre- P.O.D. days, in the process." [5] There were also several reviews from Cornerstone Magazine, [8] Garlic Press, [9] HM Magazine, [10] [11] 7Ball, [12] and YouthWorker. [13]
