What's your favorite Vengeance Rising album?

Once Dead, but they were all good.

HS

Human Sacrifice or Once Dead. Love 'em both. The last two were decent, but didn't have the same vibe as the first two.

Once Dead, probably. Kind of a toss up between it and Human Sacrifice. I've always had a soft spot for Destruction Comes as well, as it was the first V.R. album I purchased on CD way back when.

HS no contest

Never really got into these guys... I preferred the first Die Happy album

Once Dead by a hair over Human Sacrifice

Released Upon the Earth comes in a solid and honorable 3rd. Destruction Comes........a distant fourth.....like the linemen running with the wide receivers.

HUMAN do do do SACRIFICE

I love the song "Before the Time" on Destruction Comes. Cool video as well.

Human Sacrifice, no question, though Once Dead is also incredible.

Once Dead by a hair over Human Sacrifice.Always loved the tight crunch and great musicianship on Once Dead.

Human Sacrifice followed by Destruction, Once Dead and Released! Loved them all!!!!!! :metal:

For me, no doubt:

1. Destruction
2. Once Dead
3. Released From The Earth
and a distant 4th...
4. Human Sacrifice

I know I'm weird, but the first one just doesn't do much for me. But of course that doesn't mean I'm still not looking for a true copy.

:faint:OKAAAYYYYYYY?!

Human! SACRIFICE!!!! Sacrifice!
According to Martinez, at least two of the songs are rip offs: White Throne and He is God, the lastmentioned of S.O.D's MILK. I've only heard Anthrax' version of it. There might be a slight resemblance, but I could never mistake one of them for the other...
I also DIG Once Dead, of course, but the first record I hear from a band often defines the band for me, especially when it is as good as HS.

YEAH, I think the same goes for me too with allot of music.

Human Sacrifice

I'm probably in the minority on this one. First of all I want to say I LOVE every one of the albums.

But for some reason, "Destruction Comes" brings with it a certain vibe for me that I love. It reminds me of the German thrash scene so much. Kreator, Sodom, etc. And since German thrash is my favorite, I guess this is why I place "Destruction Comes" so highly.

My least favorite is "Released Upon the Earth", though I really do dig it too. It's probably the closest they came to death metal.

1. Destruction Comes
2. Human Sacrifice (GREAT album!!!)
3. Once Dead (I love this one just as much as HS, so it's really a tie. I saw them live on this tour! It was incredible!!! Larry Farkus' guitar caught on fire !!! I'll never forget that!!!)

4. Released Upon the Earth (I still have a soft spot in my heart for this one too)

The debut, that album is amazing.

:metal:

I always used to say that once dead was my favorate but I think after more listening to Human Sacrifice I would say the debut is number one.

1. Human Sacrifice
2. Once Dead
3. Destruction comes
4. Released opon the earth

Destruction Comes would be my second followed closely by RUTE. I love those two as well. I actually still cannot stand Once Dead. Not sure why
