Sacred Reich - The American Way CD

The American Way is the second studio album by American thrash metal band Sacred Reich, released on May 15, 1990, via Metal Blade Records. 

The band worked with producer Bill Metoyer, who previously worked with Flotsam and Jetsam, DRI, and Slayer

Although the band had maintained a record of at least one release per year since their debut, Ignorance,this was their first full-length album for three years and also the first to show a musical progression from the rougher sounding, punk-inspired thrash metal in their earlier material. The album features slower tracks in favor of a more diverse tempo and tone and makes less use of techniques like double bass pedals and shredding, while still retaining elements of punk and hardcore punk.
