Sacred Rite: Resurrection –Hawaiian Heavy Metal Reborn

“Sacred Rite: Resurrection” is this Hawaiian metal icons first release of newly recorded material in over 18 years. The CD is dedicated to the memory of Sacred Rite drummer, Kevin Lum.

Honolulu, HI. July 17, 2007 – Long overdue, Sacred Rite: Resurrection should prove to be, not only, a perfect reunion disc, but also, a fitting tribute to Sacred Rite drummer, Kevin Lum.

Following the 2002 release of the Sacred Rite compilation discs, Rites Of Passage volumes 1 & 2 from Sentinel Steel Records, Kevin Lum lost his lifelong battle with diabetes. In 2004, surviving members, Mark Kaleiwahea, Jimmy Caterine, and Peter Crane began a labor of love by extracting samples of Lum’s drum tracks from previous works and, painstakingly, arranging them around new material written by the group.

Sacred Rite: Resurrection is a journey back to classic progressive metal with a modern twist. The CD is not intended as a comeback album, but rather, a celebration and tribute to, not only, Kevin Lum, but to classic metal fans around the world.
