“Sacred delivers the band’s trademark bouncy punk-meets-doom vibe, complete with bluesy solos, thundering drums, and band leader Scott ‘Wino’ Weinrich’s drawling voice…” – Noisey
“Sacred is a twelve-track slayer in all categories; it’s thrown together like some sad man’s journey through a psychedelic, down-tuned wonderland. All of the requisites of classic Sabbath inspired jams are here, and there’s certainly a lot of fresh energy provided through the newly restructured band…” – New Noise
“The best comeback of the year…” – The Sludgelord
“… a definitive statement from doom metal’s most dedicated practitioner.” – Team Rock
“…a worthy comeback for a band who with true cult status even when the term has overused. A great return, and one of Wino’s best performances in years.” – Ghost Cult
“… the energy felt on this record is incredibly dynamic and very true… a triumphant return.” – Metal Observer
“Wino is a national treasure and as authentic as a musician can be. In a time without Lemmy’s bigger than life personality, Wino’s underground earnestness is all the more precious and Sacred does right by the legacy of The Obsessed.” – Angry Metal Guy
