Waitin In Darkness – Vinyl LP

Released in 2013, Sacred Warrior’s first new album in 25 years floored even long-time fans of the band! With Rey Parra, the voice of classic Sacred Warrior albums, now replaced by Eli Prinsen, fans held their collective breath… well, we have all been breathing very easily ever since the album’s release, since Eli not only holds his own, but proves to be a perfect fit for the band. Powerful, crushing classic metal drips from the grooves of this album from top to bottom. The classic Queensryche sound still present, but with all the hooks and signature sounds that elevated the band to elite status in both the Christian and mainstream music worlds. Few albums beg for a vinyl release more than Waiting in Darkness, enticing mesmerized fans to yearn for the sweet heavenly nectar delivered so definitively from these progressive metal gods – bellowing through the warm, ultra-dynamic grooves of your turntable! Well, it’s here in dramatic fashion with heavy-weight black vinyl that includes a 12×12 insert with lyrics and pictures. Get this classic on vinyl while you can. For fans of Queensryche, Master Plan, and Iron maiden. Lead vocalist Eli Prinsen sounds just like Geoff Tate did when he sang on the classic era Queensryche albums. In fact, if someone would have played me Waiting In Darkness without letting me know who was the artist behind it, I would have told them that I did not realize that Tate had reformed with his old bandmates and that the band had finally recaptured their vintage sound. – Olivier / Sleeze Roxx Reviews
