Reborn is the fourth album by the Christian metal band Living Sacrifice. This is the band's first album on Solid State Records. Reborn is also the first album in which Bruce Fitzhugh would serve as the band's vocalist. This was guitarist Jason Truby's last album with the band, his brother Chris Truby would also appear on this recording as the band's bassist.
The seventh track, "Something More", samples edited dialogue from "The Usual Suspects" (1995), as spoken by actor Kevin Spacey.
The closing track, "Liar", samples edited dialogue from "The Island of Dr. Moreau" (1996), as spoken by actor Marlon Brando.
Critical Reception
"The only complaint I have regarding this release is that tracks like "Truth Solution," "Threatened," and "Awakening" seem to run just a little too long. Most of the songs are 3 to 5 minutes long, and at times I felt like the songs needed to just wrap it up. All in all, this will definitely be labeled as Living Sacrifice's best album both musically and lyrically. This is straight-edge hardcore heavy metal all done in the name of Jesus Christ. Reborn is a Christian metal masterpiece recommended for fans of Demon Hunter and Becoming the Archetype." reports Fred Keel of Jesus Freak Hideout.[2]
