Redeemer
Double Edge Sword 1987-1989
Retroactive Records proudly presents Double Edge Sword, the first of two definitive reissues from Redeemer, as part of
the highly coveted Metal Icon Series. Originally released in 2007 as a CD-R of only 250 units, this long-lost gem has
been professionally remastered by Rob Colwell and comes in a 6-panel jewel case with a full-color lyrics insert, making
it a must-have for fans of 80s-inspired metal and hard rock. Limited to only 300 units, this reissue delivers Redeemer's
signature blend of heavy riffs, soaring melodies, and faith-centered lyrics.
All tracks were written between 1987 and 1989 and recorded in 2007 at Twin Blades Studio in Las Vegas, NV, by Redeemer's
visionary leader, Bill Menchen. Known for his groundbreaking work with Final Axe, The Seventh Power, and Titanic,
Menchen handles all instrumentation on Double Edge Sword, showcasing his exceptional guitar skills and dynamic
songwriting. Featuring standout tracks like "King of the Light," "Warning," "Hard Rock Foundation," and "Escape," this
album highlights Redeemer's ability to weave infectious hooks, powerful choruses, and Menchen's blistering solos into a
cohesive metal masterpiece. The heavier tracks, including the doom-influenced "Warning," demonstrate the depth of
Menchen's talent, while melodic cuts like "Let the Light Shine On" and "Unite Believers" provide an uplifting and
memorable listening experience. Whether you're a devoted follower of Bill Menchen's career or discovering Redeemer for
the first time, Double Edge Sword delivers an essential dose of 80s-inspired Christian metal. Don't miss this rare
opportunity to own a professionally remastered edition of a classic that continues to inspire and energize fans of heavy
music!
