Synopsis

Album Description

Digitally remastered two CD release containing a pair of albums from the Seattle Thrash Metal band fronted by Warrel Dane: Refuge Denied (1987) and Into The Mirror Black (1990). Refuge Denied, a Thrash album with a different perspective, was produced by Dave Mustaine. The album contains a great version of Jefferson Airplane's 'White Rabbit'. Into The Mirror Black was Sanctuary's second and final album and remains an overlooked masterpiece, blurring the lines between technical, Bay area-style 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.

CD Reviews

HUGE DISAPPOINMENT

"This review is for th Iron Bird "re-masters" only. I absolutely love Sanctuary and their 2 albums.So I have been waiting many, many years for a re-mastered version of their 2 albums. These have NOT been re-mastered, I repeat these have not been re-mastered. These are the same exact original pressings. I played them side by side with the originals, there is absolutely NO difference in sound quality, which is the only thing I cared about. They have been repackaged and that is nice, but means nothing in the end. Beware of all Iron Bird "remasters", they are glorified reissues only. If you don't have the originals, then by all means buy it. Sanctuary is an awesome band and these albums are 2 of the best ever made."
