Sanctuary is a heavy metal band that was formed in Seattle in 1985. They were discovered by Megadeth guitarist Dave Mustaine, who helped them get signed to CBS/Epic Records and produced their first album. Sanctuary had the opportunity to tour with Megadeth and gained recognition for their unique sound. The band consisted of vocalist Warrel Dane, guitarists Lenny Rutledge and Sean Blosl, bassist Jim Sheppard, and drummer Dave Budbill. Although they disbanded after their second album, Dane and Sheppard went on to form Nevermore.

In an interesting turn of events, Jeff Loomis joined Sanctuary as their guitarist after sending them a tape when he heard they had lost their previous guitarist. However, the group broke up just two months later in 1991. But out of the ashes of Sanctuary emerged Nevermore, a new band formed by Loomis along with two other former members.

Despite their relatively short-lived career as Sanctuary, the band's impact on the heavy metal scene cannot be overlooked. Their association with Dave Mustaine and successful collaboration with Megadeth allowed them to make a mark in the industry during their time together.

Into The Mirror Black, originally released in 1990, is a truly special, much revered metal record, which received massive critical acclaim back when it came out and is still loved dearly to the very day. Its gloomy atmosphere and thought-provoking lyrics, its brilliant mix borderlining heavy and thrash metal, its stellar guitar work and the expressive vocals of the one and only Warrel Dane (R.I.P.) are just some of the reasons why this record stood the test of time.

Into The Mirror Black celebrates its 30th anniversary and while the plans to commemorate this event live with current singer Joseph Michael (Witherfall) had to be postponed, this limited triple vinyl and double CD deluxe editions created with guitarist Lenny Rutledge, honour the timeless grandeur of Into The Mirror Black extremely well. The album was just gently remastered by Zeuss to make it sound a bit fuller and heavier without losing the original feel, and the extra tracks are real gems for Sanctuary-fans: Three previously unreleased studio demos (incl. ‘I’m Insane’) and an entire, newly mixed 10-track live album from 1990, which was only partially released on a rare promo-EP. The booklets feature tons of rare and previously unpublished photos as well as liner notes from Lenny Rutledge and bassist Jim Sheppard. An absolute must-have for every metal connoisseur.
