Morgana Lefay "Sanctified (Japanese Edition)"

Sanctified is the fourth album for Swedish heavy metal band Morgana Lefay.

The album received a review of 9/10 from Rockhard.de. In the Swedish mainstream press, the album got short reviews in Dagens Nyheter, Svenska Dagbladet, Aftonbladet and Helsingborgs Dagblad. Each critic though the album lacked innovation, but Aftonbladet noted that "If every song were as good as "To Isengard", I could not shut off the record". Expressen compared Morgana Lefay to "a bleak Pantera".

The third album “Sanctified” was released and got raving reviews. The band headed for Europe again, now as a part of a festival tour together with Cemetery, Memento Mori and Tad Morose. The videos “To Isengard” and ” In The Court Of The Crimson King” was released and the band went on a headline tour in Sweden.
