Reviews
- Rock
Hard
(Germany) : (Translated) "This metal album, free
of any cliche has lost nothing of its fascination."
(9)
- Giant's
Lore Experiment IV
(Germany): "Now digitally remastered with rigorous
attention to detail, and the result fullfills any dream.
The genious cover artwork itself would be reason enough
to purchase the record. All of the songs are on the highest
musical level with a crunchy and fresh killer sound..."
- Snakepit
(France): "This is eternal metal you have to experience
on your own."

Historical
data
Sacred
Blade's debut album was released in October of 1986 on
France's Black Dragon Records. The album was recorded
over a span of two years, with production commenced in
September of 1984. The original LP version (released as
BD015 - no longer available) featured a full colour gatefold
sleeve with full libretto.
For
this album Jeff wanted to avoid the use of synthesizers,
samplers or sequencers. All the sounds were recorded
from acoustic sources. The album has garnered much critical
acclaim over the years, including the honor of being
listed in Rock Hard Magazine's Top 300 Hard 'n' Heavy
albums of all time.
Painstakingly digitally
remastered form the original mater tapes, the album is available on
a numbered, limited edition CD
while supplies
last.
This will be the only CD release of the original recording,
and once the 2000 copies are gone we will not be reissuing
this version, so if you want to avoid collector pricing,
ORDER NOW!
