Sanctuary - Into the Mirror Black 30th anniversary CD

I'm thinking of picking this up. Anybody have it?

https://www.metal-rules.com/2020/08/31/sanctuary-into-the-mirror-black-30th-anniversary-release/

Remastered, with bonus demos and a live disc.

I ordered. I did not own it on CD, so what the hell. And it was cheap. But this purchase then mase me skip the new Diamond Head anniversary issue. Got to have some restraint. For now. Maybe once the price goes down...

I didn't know this one was out. I will definitely order it. Diamond Head can wait...

I have a release of this so I will most likely skip. Not sure the additional material is enough to re-purchase it again

Understandable, but it's probably a great deal for me. €13 for the album, plus the demos, plus a live album; free shipping.

This is how I see it too. I already own the cd, but it's used and the booklet is in an average shape. Oh, and i also own the same album in a 2 in 1 release with Refuge Denied.

So i need a proper new release.

I have it. The album is remastered with 3 bonus demo tracks and a bonus live CD that's the complete 1990 concert from the Country Club in Reseda California. Previously, only 5 tracks from the concert had been released on the very rare Into The Mirror Live EP. So, if you are a Sanctuary fanatic it's an essential release. If you don't care about demos and live tracks you can skip it.

I got it today. Didn't play it yet, but here's pictures.




Cardboard slipover and a gatefold digipak. Nice and thick booklet with stories, photos and lyrics.

And like Witchfinder said, three bonus (demo) tracks on disc one, and a concert on disc two. Seems like a very nice package. Happy to finally have it on CD.

Listening to it now. A touch gloomy. Metal Church vibe. Theatrical.
Great sound. Production. Not as crazy as Refuge Denied. Introspective.
Imagine Trouble meets Metallica

Great band that i only discovered accidentally, after hearing Labyrinth's excellent cover of Die For My Sins:

I think that's exactly what Phoenix Reign Drummer said. He got into Sanctuary via Labyrinth.

I myself have yet to listen to a Labyrinth album.

This is the live cd I have. 6 songs looks like something sent out to radio maybe.

I’m glad I saw them on the last tour with Warrel.

It’s a shame he’s gone...

Weren't Sanctuary working on a new album lately?

Here's my Sanctuary collection:

Yeah, but there hasn’t been any updates. They were using the singer from Witherfall.

I am curious to see what they would come out with.

I think it will be good.

Listened to “ Into the Mirror Black “ 1990 cd today.
They do remind me of Early Metal Church. Love that.
Warren Dane died in Brazil age 56. Heart attack. Alcohol abuse.
Trained for 5 years as an Opera singer, of all things.
Type 2 diabetes also.

Well I guess Sanctuary continuing without Warrel is over…

It’s been forever since there has been any word about it. Granted… maybe covid ruined their plans.

I am sure they are still doing it. When there isn't a lot to update, bands don't say much. I con't think Covid killed it, but definitely put them back a ways.

I hope you’re right.
