SARDONYX reissue

For those who do not know this band, they are an excellent, classic power metal band from the 80's similar to bands like Metal Church and early Fates Warning.

What label is this on, Retroactive? They always put out the good stuff. (like, say... Ultimatum! )
Never heard these guys but I remember reading about'em in H.M. back in the day and thinking they'd probably be up my alley. The description sounds promising!

I have to pick this one up now!

Finally!I've been waiting for this Re-release.It was originally set for June.

Yes, Retroactive.

Yup, June was the original date, but they had some delays in the mastering and with the new artwork.

Grrrr.


When is Retroactive going to learn how to properly promote and release their stuff? If I had known this I would have waited on those Ultimatum remasters and got them all together.

Where did you get your Ultimatum remasters from?

The Sardonyx project was a bit of a fluke. It was suppose to be released with a bunch of other stuff in June, but as I said, problems occured. They just did the best they could to get it out as soon as they could.

BTW, TheEndRecords should have this CD and has free shipping, same with the Ultimatum CDs.

I got them from The End.

Seriously though there is no telling when stuff is coming out from Retroactive. There is no forewarning or anything.

He does a pretty good job with his label, just needs to learn how to update his website on a weekly basis or something. He could release a 10CD Deliverance boxset tommorow and it wouldn't suprise me.

Couldn't wait for TheEnd to get it. I just ordered mine through Brutal Planet on EBay.

thats what I did also

Great band.....

How did you all like their Linear Progression ep? That's all I've heard from them. How does it compare to Majestic Serenity?

I'm buying this for the demo tracks.

You can listen to the original album and the demo here on the Lightshine Worship Band's (which features Sardonyx's former singer) website :

You can also read the lyrics while you are there.

It will be mine!

Got my copy in the mail yesterday. The remastering is great! The eleven album tracks sound fantastic. As much as I love this album I hadn't really listened to it in years. Hearing it again fresh last night, I was really getting into it; air guitar, singing along, etc.

Much improved artwork. The new cover is great and the 10-page color insert is nicely laid out.

The bonus tracks from the Rebel of Reason are a nice addition. I'm not so sure the mastering improved these tracks though. I have the original tape demo. I don't remember it sounding so tinny and wishy. I think the mastering only served to bring out the flaws in the recording rather than enhancing the recording. Also, there is a noticeable drop out in the song "Scandal" that I don't recall being on the original tape. I'll have to dig that demo out and play it to see if it was there and I had just forgotten. Still nice to finally have these songs on CD.

Anyone into bands like Vicious Rumors, Metal Church, Meliah Rage, etc. and who is not offended by openly Christian lyrics would do well to check this out.

Copies are available on Ebay now.

Should soon be available on CDBaby, Amazon.com, TheEndRecords, etc. as well.

wow, that cover is sick.

couldn't find it on ebay

Wow! Guess they are gone. They were there this morning. I am sure Brutal Planet will relist them soon. It's basically the only way the record company sells directly is through Ebay. Otherwise you have to go through the channels.

GirderMusic, RadRockers, etc. should be stocking it soon too.

Radrockers has it now. But they have that pesky $25.00 minimum order policy.....

Looks sweet, I will have to check this one out!

I never have a problem finding enough stuff to make RadRockers' $25 minimum. I usually end up with so much stuff in my cart that I have to leave stuff off before I actually place my order.

I hate that policy, which is why I never order from them. If I want to buy ONE CD, why shouldn't I be allowed to?

I think Nordic Mission will have it soon. I'll order there.
