Nothing Is Sacred

Released in 2009, Nothing Is Sacred represents a mature, high-production era for the Danish veterans Konkhra. Following their earlier successes in the 1990s, this album sees the band doubling down on their signature 'groove-heavy' death metal style. The recording is characterized by a very high level of compression and a 'wall of sound' approach that emphasizes the interplay between the guitars and the drums. Unlike the more chaotic Swedish or Florida scenes, Konkhra's Danish style on this record is more controlled and rhythmic, drawing significant influence from thrash metal's precision. The album features a sprawling 20-track list (including intros and interludes) that creates a continuous, exhausting experience of sonic attrition. Critically, it is viewed as a solid entry in their later catalog, maintaining their status as the premier Danish extreme metal export while leaning into more modern, polished production values.
