Sanctuary announce 30th anniversary edition of ‘Into The Mirror Black’
SANCTUARY have announced a special 30th anniversary edition of Into The Mirror Black!
Originally released in 1990, the album is a truly special, much revered metal record, which received massive critical acclaim back when it came out and is still loved dearly to the very day. Now, as the album celebrates its 30th anniversary and while the plans to commemorate this event live with current singer Joseph Michael [WITHERFALL] had to be postponed, the album will be released as a special anniversary edition this October!
The anniversary edition of the album will be available via limited triple vinyl and double CD deluxe editions created with guitarist Lenny Rutledge, who comments, “we are so excited to finally be releasing this special edition of Into The Mirror Black! The remaster of the original songs sounds awesome and the 1990 Black Reflections live concert is finally going to be released in all its authentic live glory. The live material was mixed and mastered by Zeuss and is presented as recorded. No re-recordings or overdubs. Look for SANCTUARY on tour in Fall of 2021 playing the entire Into The Mirror Black set. We cant wait to bring the live show to Europe, USA and South America in 2021.”
The album was carefully remastered by Zeuss [QUEENSRŸCHE, ICED EARTH, OVERKILL] to make it sound a bit fuller and heavier without losing the original feel and the extra tracks are real gems for SANCTUARY devotees: Three previously unreleased studio demos (incl. I’m Insane) and an entire, newly mixed 10-track live album from 1990, which was only partially released on a rare promo-EP. “The concert from 1990 is a total snapshot in time,” says Zeuss, “when the band was at its peak. It’s captured before the initial breakup which led to Warrel and Jim forming NEVERMORE. Hearing it brought me right back to the first time I personally saw them.”
