Faith and the Muse reissue remastered ‘Elyria’ on Metropolis Records

Faith and the Muse are reissuing their 1994 debut album “Elyria” through Metropolis Records on October 8, 2026, as a remastered digipack edition. Originally released on Tess Records and previously reissued by Metropolis in 2001, this new version features a ground-up remaster by William Faith himself, replacing Tom Baker’s 2001 work. The digipak includes redesigned artwork based on Monica Richards’ original design. The 14-track gothic album remains the duo’s foundational work, recorded at New American Sound in Santa Barbara during spring 1994. A live video for the track “Sparks” accompanies the reissue. Faith and the Muse, formed in 1993 in Los Angeles by William Faith and Monica Richards, have since released several subsequent albums including “Annwyn, Beneath the Waves” (1996) and “Ankoku Butoh” (2009).
