Joseph Fris, formerly of Black Wolf Sakrifice, founded Sakrefix as a solo studio project in early 2005. Employing a distinctive and extreme combination of speed, repetition, dynamics, melody, rhythm, and malice, the infant Sakrefix spread its brand of aural terror propaganda. Mr. Fris released the demo, Dark Spells Cast Under the Eclipsing Moon, to an enthusiastic underground and quickly sold every copy. In 2006, the demand for a live set – not practicable as a solo project – was strong enough that he allowed his child the breathing room that it demanded, and by early 2007 he had enlisted the skills of four new musicians. Eric Gilstrap was added to Sakrefix’s ranks first; Gary Cadima (The Killing Machine, Abythos), Patrick Piecara (Nyarlathotep, Abythos), and Viktor Farinelli were added not long after. Immediately upon completing the lineup, Sakrefix headed to Amplitude Media in Austin, TX to record their debut full-length, In Shadow’s Embrace, and sent it to Bergen, Norway where Ivar Bjornson of extreme metal legends Enslaved mastered it. In support of the L.P., which was officially released by metalhit.com in July of 2008, Sakrefix has played shows across its home state of Texas, supporting such acts as Watain, Mictlantecutli, Book of Black Earth, Withered, Deceased, Insidious Decrepancy, Averse Sefira, and many more. Less than a year after releasing In Shadow’s Embrace, Sakrefix is now heading back into the studio to record their sophomore effort, Evolve, which, living up to its title, is a massive leap forward in terms of songwriting, and is sure to surprise long-time followers of the band.
Musically, Sakrefix is characterized by a bleak implementation of contrasting and often harmonizing dual melodies while frequent tempo changes and colorful tones paint a dynamic canvas of hatred and turmoil. Sakrefix has a readily identifiable sound, but, as a living expression of art, the herald of ruin will grow and reach to new levels of expression musically. Lyrically, Sakrefix can be best described as the culmination of its members' opposition to Western culture and all organized religion; it is a declaration of war against weak consumerist norms, and it is the prophecy of our inevitable collapse. The namesake of Sakrefix is synonymous with the end; it is the end of everything the unremarkable take for granted.
