Artist: SANCTUARY
Album: INTO THE MIRROR BLACK REMASTERED (CD)

Year: 1990/ 2014
Media type: CD

Sanctuarys second and final album released 1990 is an overlooked masterpiece, blurring the lines between technical, Bay areastyle thrash, traditional heavy metal and European power metal. Every song hitting the sweet spot between hook and riff, it is a triumph and a shame that it was their final album.

Warrel Dane and Jim Sheppard went on to extend Sanctuarys ambition and song writing sensibilities into the superb NEVERMORE.

All songs written and composed by Warrel Dane and Lenny Rutledge, except where noted.
