US veterans Sacred Reich are working hard on their upcoming new studio album, the first one in more than two decades, after 1996' Heal. This record, which will be entitled Awakening, will also mark the band's first release since the return of drummer Dave McClain. The album is currently in the recording phase with producer Arthur Rizk and engineer John Aquilino at The Platinum Underground in Mesa, AZ. Sacred Reich also confirmed a full European headlining tour, scheduled for November / December of 2019.

Bassist/vocalist Phil Rind states: "Recording is in full swing with producer Arthur Rizk at The Platinum Underground in Arizona. We are so excited to be back in the studio after 23 years. Dave is currently killing it on the drums. Sounds sick! Our new record Awakening is due this summer. Stay tuned! Tour dates across the planet coming your way!"

Phil comments on Dave's return to the band: "The best-case scenario that we could have hoped for. Dave is the best! A great drummer and a great person and we are beyond excited to welcome him back to the band."

Dave added: "I'm so excited about rejoining my brothers in teh band. To have the opportunity to make and play music with one of my favorite metal bands was always something I hoped could happen. I can't wait for everyone to hear the new album that we're recording and to come see us out on the road in 2019-2020."
