> SANCTUARY RE-RELEASE
Here, released together on one CD, two original albums from Sanctuary: the debut, Refuge Denied, produced by Dave Mustaine of Megadeth and the second, Into The Mirror Black, an overlooked masterpiece produced by Howard Benson.
The Sanctuary line-up consisted of Warrel Dane on vocals, Lenny Rutledge and Sean Blosl on guitar, Jim Sheppard on bass and Dave Budbill on drums. Following the band’s split, Warrel Dane and Jim Sheppard went on to extend Sanctuary’s ambition and song writing sensibilities into the superb Nevermore.
Thrash, with a different perspective, Refuge Denied was released in 1987 and features a great version of Jefferson Airplane’s 'White Rabbit'.
Released in 1990, Into The Mirror Black is Sanctuary’s second and final album. It blurs the lines between technical, Bay area-style thrash, traditional heavy metal and European power metal. With every song hitting the sweet spot between hook and riff, it is a triumph and it’s a shame it was to be their final album.
Disc 1 - Refuge Denied: 1. Battle Angels, 2. Termination Force, 3. Die For My Sin, 4. Soldiers Of Steel, 5. Sanctuary, 6. White Rabbit, 7. Ascension To Destiny, 8. The Third War, 9. Veil Of Disguise
Disc 2 - Into The Mirror Black: 1. Future Tense, 2. Taste Revenge, 3. Long Since Dark, 4. Epitaph, 5. Eden Lies Obscured, 6. The Mirror Black, 7. Seasons Of Destruction, 8. One More Murder, 9. Communion

> DAVE EVANS SIGNS WITH ROCKSECTOR
AC/DC co-founder & original front man Dave Evans has signed a UK exclusive deal with Rocksector Records to release his latest album Judgement Day. An April release date is planned, followed by UK tour dates.
Evans, who formed the band along with brothers Angus & Malcolm Young, left AC/DC late in 1974, replaced by Bon Scott & went on to enjoy success in Australia with Rabbit, Thunder Down Under & also toured the United States & Europe with his band The Baddasses. Judgement Day has everything you might expect from this album with hard rocking songs, balls-out gutsy rock n roll & defiant vocals typified by the opening track 'We Don't Dance To Your Song'.
Lynne Hampson, PR Manager at Rocksector, has this to say “Everyone at the label is excited about this signing. Dave is a singer with a real heritage & his addition to our roster gives a great contrast where many of our artists are new bands making their way & developing/establishing themselves in their career. Dave brings something different. He's seen it all & comes to us self-assured but with an infectious enthusiasm & love for what he does. We're really looking forward to people hearing the album & seeing the live shows.”
The tour dates are penciled in to begin on 21st May & will include shows in Newcastle, Manchester, Grimsby, London, Birmingham & more.
