But only in appearance; for the sacrificial transformation of the victim must take place on the altar, and not in the body of the celebrant, while the partaking of the two elements can at most represent the burial and not the sacrificial death of Christ.

 The Eucharistic Language of The Early Fathers
His language may appear dangerous, but it is understandable in view of his attempt to show that the true Judaism is Christianity, and that their fancied sacrifices were types of the Christian mysteries, and their priests the forerunners of the Christian ministry.

 The Darkest Hours - Interview Sacrificial   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Sacrificial was started by Kræn and Lukas, and they are the only remaining members from that time, although John joined the band just before the first demo recording in ’91, I joined in 1992 and Rico joined in 1998 – so the core of the band has been pretty stable throughout the years.
In the years to follow Sacrificial released a bunch of demo tapes, went through a few line-up changes and then in 1996 Sacrificial split up – just to be reformed in ’98.
The reason why Sacrificial split up was that John had left the band and moved to another town pretty far away, and shortly after I left the band too, also for educational reasons.

 Sacrificial anode - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A sacrificial anode, or sacrificial rod, is a metallic anode used in an electrochemical process where it is intended to be dissolved to protect other metallic components.
More scientifically, a sacrificial anode can be defined as a metal that is more easily oxidized than the protected metal.
