COMMENTS
- "Of The Sun
+ Moon" has arrived yesterday. I found this album as extraordinary
yet much more accessible than I expected based on reviews in 80's
Metal collector's guides. I'm always looking for classic Metal
portraying mystical, otherworldly visions and now I got one more
gem in my collection; like it alot! - Peter Breyer, Germany
- Today - FINALLY!!!
- was the day this endlessly awaited gem deigned to arrive! Thankz
for rereleasing one of the best piecez of US 80ies metal that
ever came out! Now, remastered, I finally have the possibility
to truly appreciate what this album is all about. Very cool indeed.
- Alexander Heine, Austria
- Brillant
remastering, brilliant reproduction of the original artwork. It
was really worth waiting so long !. - Germany
- All I can
say is -- a job *very* well done. What a pleasure to hear those
songs again! Thanks very much! - California, USA
- I love the
CD - Perfect sound and nice booklet!. - Germany
- "Of The Sun
And Moon" was a masterpiece in 1986. I can remember that every
magazine which reviewed the record wrote lots of euphoric comments.
I listened to it a few times now and if I think about the fact
that it's so "old" it sounds even better. I really must agree
to all the reviews I found on your pages. This is a piece of metal
history and I think it is worth every cent I spent on it. Thomas
Pies, Germany
- If my CD
collection was a treasure chest, Of the Sun + Moon Lim.Ed. was
the crown jewelry. Sacred Blade's music is completely unique!
Just listen ...(more comments)
Stefan Rieger, Germany
- This CD is
fantastic! The production in this gem is awesome, so the music
is. Will recomend to any headbanger out there. "A MASTERPIECE"
- Portugal
- Ok, the CD
arrived two days ago, and since then it is impossible to get it
out of my player. I already knew the songs (got the LP), but they
sound sooooo much better now. I love this cd, and can't wait to
get my hands on new meterial of Sacred Blade. - Germany
- KILLER CD!
- France
- Yesterday
I received "Of The Sun + Moon" and I can only tell you that I
totally fell in love with this CD from the first riffs bolting
out of my speakers. I just can't stop listening to it, man, what
have you done ?? Everything about this release is perfect, from
the fantastic cover artwork, the lovely layout and the photos,
up to every single song, this CD redefines the word "CLASSIC"
for me. Now I know what Frank Stšver meant, when he said: "this
is eternal Metal you have to experience on your own." "Of The
Sun + Moon" indeed is an unique album of powerful epic Metal,
having that extraordinary and mystical touch that makes it a source
of inspiration for Generations of Metalbands to come. In a time,
where most of the 80s bands try to make a fast buck with senseless
reunions and rereleases of their dust covered and mediocre outputs
from the past, here«s finally a more than worthy record to be
put on my all time favorite list !! Or to say it with just three
words: I am speechless !!!!! - Sven Freller, Germany
- I was astounded
by the superior 24 bit mastering and the excellent sound quality!!!
I could hear things on there I don't recall hearing on the LP
- especially the clear bass lines. - Germany
- The music
is really great, the album is a masterpiece. Really a great work.
- Chile
- Just got
the Of the Sun + Moon CD, excellent work! The tunes were more
diverse in style than I imagined and definitely original, a sophisticated
notch above the multitude of other heavy metal bands that have
come and gone over the years, much more than I expected. - Bryan
Darlington, USA
- I have to
agree with German magazine Rock Hard which gave it among best
300 CDs in Hard 'n' Heavy category. I agree - very good music,
very good ideas. - Czech Republic
- The CD is
a real collector«s item. Thank you very much for this outstanding
Metal gem! I need to order more copies. - Germany
- The Cds arrived
today. Super fast delivery. The sound of the remastered version
really kicks ass. I wished the original record had this sound
when it came out in the 80-ies. -Germany
- One of the
great gems of pure 80's metal. With sci-fi lyrical themes and
a speed/power style that was familiar yet original, the album
has stood the test of time as a recommended release. - USA

."An absolute must have killer psych/metal masterpiece. This record
is a complete mind blower including the awesome psychedelic gatefold
jacket. "
- Ebay.
"Awesome metal from the west coast.Super cool space themed concept
record (hence the title"OF THE SUN AND MOON")in a wicked gatefold
cover.The shot inside the cover is the band,their gear and their
spaceship in the middle of a thick forest.Too cool!!!"
- Ebay. "A
personal fave, simply one of the best records of music history!!
Musically a fantastic mixture between progressive space metal,
nwobhm, power metal & hard rock!!! No other band sounds like SACRED
BLADE!!! Superb gatefold sleeve!!! Canada's best heavy metal
band ever."
- Ebay. " Brilliant
progressive power metal with stunning musicianship."
