Following on from first generation Canadian speed metal pioneers Anvil and Exciter and heavily influenced by local Toronto legends Razor, Scarborough's own Sacrifice set out to make history a short while later with their unique brand of raw thrash metal.

In 1986, Ben Hoffman, the owner of The Record Peddler, financed the first Sacrifice album "Torment In Fire" and put it out on his own label Fringe Product, of which guitarist Joe Rico today says: "To this day everyone loves that record and some consider it our most original. It was really good for its time I would say." His colleague Rob Urbinati adds: "Well, obviously I wish we were tighter and it sounded better, but on the other hand, I wouldn't change a thing really. That is how it was then. Young bands recording albums while still learning their instruments. That's kind of what makes the old albums great. There is no bullshit. No one thought they could actually get big playing such heavy music. We all just wrote the most aggressive music we could with what we had."
