ABOUT THE ALBUM

Sacred 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. While the band’s iconic voice, Rey Parra, had been replaced by Eli Prinsen, fans were left wondering if the magic could continue. The answer came in a wave of unanimous acclaim, as Eli not only met but exceeded expectations, proving to be an impeccable match for the band’s signature sound. From start to finish, the album is packed with powerful, crushing classic metal, drenched in soaring melodies and thunderous grooves. Sacred Warrior’s unmistakable Queensrÿche-inspired sound shines through, but with an even sharper edge—brimming with hooks and all the elements that earned them their place as elite in both Christian and mainstream metal circles. Fans of Queensrÿche, Masterplan, and Iron Maiden will feel right at home with this towering release.

The 2024 Retroactive Records Deluxe Collector's Edition takes this already monumental album to new heights. Featuring flawless mastering, it comes packaged in a jewel case with a 12-page booklet filled with lyrics and band photos. This edition is wrapped in a full-color collector’s cardboard O-ring sleeve, boasting an enhanced version of the epic skull-and-horned monster artwork. Inside, the original 2013 cover art remains faithfully reproduced on the booklet for a touch of nostalgia. As part of the exclusive Metal Icon Series, this reissue is limited to just 500 copies. Don’t miss your chance to own this definitive collector’s item—grab it before it's gone!
