SACRED WARRIOR - WAITING IN DARKNESS (Deluxe CD, 2024) Epic Xian Heavy Metal

Description: TREMENDOUS, BRILLIANT CD! Melodic power/progressive metal at it's very best!WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT SACRED WARRIOR - WAITING IN DARKNESSWaiting in Darkness is everything craved in a Sacred Warrior comeback...it could be argued the band has never sounded better. Mark Allen HardRockHaven.NetLead vocalist Eli Prinsen sounds just like Geoff Tate did when he sang on the classic era Queensryche albums. In fact, if someone would have played me Waiting In Darkness without letting me know who was the artist behind it, I would have told them that I did not realize that Tate had reformed with his old bandmates and that the band had finally recaptured their vintage sound. Olivier / Sleeze Roxx Reviews...aptly named guitarist Bruce Swift puts on a clinic of bludgeoning riffs (did I say that Waiting In Darkness is Sacred Warrior’s heaviest release?) while proving every bit as adept from a soloing standpoint (his blistering leads shine on “Desperately Wicked” and “In Dust And Ashes”). Underrated drummer Tony Velazquez continues to stand out with his trademark heavy set timekeeping skills. Angelic Warlord Reviews"This whole project is fantastic, but this particular song (Dust & Ashes) is off the charts! When it switches the riff and goes into the guitar solo, I enter a different state of consciousness and I have a fit of pure metal joy!" .....elated Youtube Metal Fan90% Rating on AngelicWarlord.com#5 in Top 15 Albums Of 2013 (Angelic Warlord)Includes new vocalist, Eli Prinsen Includes the classic instrumental Sacred Warrior line-upClassic Sacred Warrior sound in-line with their classic releasesTwo bonus tracks of re-recorded Sacred Warrior classics!Full-color collector’s O-ring sleeve with skull-and-horned monster artworkAlso available on limited edition vinylMusiciansEli Prinsen - Lead VocalsBruce Swift - GuitarsJoe Petit - KeyboardsSteve Watkins - BassTony Velazquez - DrumsRRCD2018 SACRED WARRIOR - WAITING IN DARKNESS CD 732131697971ABOUT THE ALBUMSacred Warrior - Waiting in Darkness (2024 Deluxe Edition)Originally released in 2013 by the band, Waiting in Darkness marked Sacred Warrior’s triumphant return after 25 years, instantly captivating both long-time followers and new fans alike.
