Dos grandes discos, Into Mirror Black merece un trato distinto, la desgarradora voz de Dane y la fuerza de las guitarras hacen que este disco sea considerado de colección, temas como comunion, taste revenge, the mirror black, por no mencionar los 9 temas son demoledores. si no lo tienen ... que esperan...cómprenlo... desde PERU

Holy Shit!!!! I just listened to this CD again and can't believe how awesome it really is, I thought the previous CD would be hard to beat, but god damn this one is so much better, the most incredible vocals I have ever heard, too bad Warrel Dane changed his style, although I like Nevermore a lot, I still say he should of stuck to Sanctuary, too bad we only got 2 CD's before they quit..

Immortal album from a immortal band. The best 90's metal album. Every feelings from Nevermore were there in "Into the Mirror Black".

This is really a Great Record. I think it's a tad better than The first one...

Good Heavy Metal/Speed/Thrash album, la verdad esta banda no es solo Heavy Clasico como ponen tiene una fusion de varios estilos de Metal y se parecen en algo a los Mercyful o King Diamond algunos dirian Terror Metal en fin este disco no al nivel del anterior que contiene un corte que elevaria cualquier album aca hay buenos temas pero nada grande 8/10.

The first 3 songs are the best ones along with "Seasons Of Destruction" & "One More Murder"...some Queensryche/Mercyful Fate essence in the music and in the vocals(King Diamond kinda of singing here of Mr Dane )...a bit better than the band's debut IMO but still nothing impressive,at least to me...cheers and peace out...75/100

Man oh man, this disc was ahead of its time! Closest comparisons from around the turn of the decade would include the likes of Crimson Glory, Lethal, the heaviest Savatage, maybe Metal Church. So much of prog-leaning metal up to this point sacrificed heaviness in favor of technicality and finesse. Into The Mirror Black crushes them all. Even over a decade later, a great many bands playing in this style still struggled to match the power and weight of this second Sanctuary disc. This is a clear precursor to the mighty Nevermore, and on some days, I like it better than the latter band's debut, and even The Politics Of Ecstasy. The production is vastly improved over debut, sounding crystal-clear and diamond-hard, and asshole-tight. Jim Shepard's bass popping underneath the slicing riffs. Warrel Dane has tamed the over-the-top shrieks, possibly by necessity, putting the focus more on his baleful wail. Highlights abound, from the raging to the somber, including "Future Tense," "taste Reveng

... "Taste Revenge," "Long Since Dark," the almost-title track, "Seasons Of Destruction" and "Communion." "One More Murder" is perhaps the thrashiest thing here, but also feels a little silly and the most like a holdover from Refuge Denied.
