The name OTHYRWORLD may not ring a bell to the average metalhead out there. But when you have a good look at the CD artwork of “Beyong Into The Night Of Day” and you dig really deep into your metal memory, you may still remember a band, called SACRED BLADE. If you already liked the musical steps of Jeff Ulmer and Ted Zawadzki on the only album of this band, which is called “Of The Sun & Moon”, then you must have a listen to this album as well. If it was only for old time sake, because “Beyond Into The Night Of Day” is one big reprise of “Of The Sun And Moon”. The two brains behind SACRED BLADE actually re-recorded this fantastic album and added some extra tracks to it. Finally the rumour, that the album would be re-released in some kind of re-recorded version, has become reality. It’s very strange indeed, that a band existing for about twenty years, does not know to release more material than only one album. But this album has become a real masterpiece with a good mix of authentic US Metal and progressive influences. I ask myself, if their first album “Memory Cloudz” will ever be released. And if there ever will be a release of their album “Seven Moonz Of Xercez”, which is only available as a bootleg. For the fans, there’s now an opportunity to enjoy a digital version of “Of The Sun And Moon”, which I would quickly describe as a mix of old PINK FLOYD or THE MOODY BLUES with a US Metal underground. The songs on this album are played by mastermind Jeff Ulmer, together with his friend Ted Zawadzki, who handles the drums and percussions. Of course we are still waiting for other material to be released, but this is a CD that may not be missed in a good metal collection.

This is one of the most awesome discs of 2005 - just pure emotion! BUY THIS!!
