Words are poor when we are talking about the MOST sought after underground Canadian metal band of all time. Having released just one EP back in 1985, they gained a cult status among metalheads through immortal tunes like “Warlord’s Wrath” and “Aaraigathor”.

The end of 2025 marked the 40th anniversary since the album’s original release, so as both our previous reissue on CD and Vinyl formats is completely sold out, we are bringing you the ULTIMATE 40th Anniversary edition, featuring a few more surprises on top of the newly remastered sound and improved layout design.

For the first time you’ll get to hear what was left of “Hot Burning Love”, an original BK tune from the golden era that half of it was forever gone due to an answering machine accident (you can read more about it in the amazing band story) plus “Don’t Say No”, a slightly more commercial BK tune from one of the earliest demos of the band that appears for the very first time on an official reissue.

BLACK KNIGHT “Master of Disaster” will be available again on limited edition double gatefold LP and a 24-page CD version. The vinyl version will also come with an amazing A2 poster!

Both formats are expected to be available by late March / early April 2026. In the meantime, we prepared a super cool lyric video of the most celebrated song of the band, “Warlord’s Wrath” featuring the divine vocals of Lori Wilde. So let it begin!!!! Masters of Disaster! HAIL!!!
