Sacrifice is the debut album by English rock band Black Widow.[2] It was issued in March 1970 through CBS Records[3] and was produced by Patrick Meehan Jr.[4] The album features the band's best known song "Come to the Sabbat"[2] and its lyrical themes are centred on Satanism and occultism.[4] Sacrifice reached No. 32 on the UK Albums Chart.[5]
Musically, Sacrifice has been described as "a mix of primal, progressive rhythms and some altogether nasty occult overtures." The album is said to have an "eerie atmosphere."[6]
Legacy
Staff writers at Classic Rock Magazine expressed their belief that "the title track, 'Conjuration' and 'In Ancient Days' are the spiritual forerunners of black metal."[7]
