Reborn is the fourth album by the Christian metalcore band, Living Sacrifice. The album was released in 1997, and later re-released and remastered in 2004.
Critical reception
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."[3] 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."[4] There were also several reviews from Cornerstone Magazine,[5] Garlic Press,[6] HM Magazine,[7][8] 7Ball,[9] and YouthWorker.[10]
