Sacred Rite Lives

NEW YORK (www.caterine-music.com) - Sacred Rite Lives! Well, not exactly.... But it is Sacred Rite live at the Coconut Grove. This is a must for any collector of Heavy Metal bootlegs. Sacred Rite independently released 3 LP's in the mid-1980's. Jimmy Caterine and Peter Crane continued as independent's after a distribution deal with Capital went sour and major label deal with Polygram fell through. Several bands and several independent releases later, Sentinel Steel Records, another independent, in conjunction with the former members of Sacred Rite, re-released the 3 classic records in a two volume compilation entitled Rites of Passage in 2002.

Sacred Rite live at the Coconut Grove is a bootleg originally recorded on cassette by a fan in the audience. The tape was recently aquired by Caterine and converted to a digital format.
The concert is being released in 4 parts as a free digital download at www.caterine-music.com. Part 1 is available now with consecutive parts on the way.

Jimmy Caterine stated, "I just thought it would be something cool to share with old Sacred Rite fans as well as new fans while they await the completion of the new CATERINE CD. I did alright with my 2003 release 'Cognition' but am hoping to do even better with the next one by giving some stuff away and by hopefully bringing more of the old fans back into the fold."

Though it was not stated, there was implication that there may be talk among the 3 surviving members of a Sacred Rite reunion. We'll have to wait and see on that one.
