“Dave McClain is no longer a member of SACRED REICH. We wish him the best,” begins an announcement from the Phoenix, AZ thrash band, dated October 20 2025.
The statement continues: “Our friend Eduardo Baldo will be playing the HATEBREED shows with us in November in Europe. We thank him for jumping in on such short notice.
We are excited for this new chapter in SACRED REICH history. We are finishing up our new record, Into The Abyss, that will be released in the Spring of 2026 on Metal Blade Records.
Great things are coming. We can’t wait to share it with you.
With love and gratitude,
Wiley, Joey and Phil”
