There are multiple artists with this name:

1) Sanctuary is a band founded in Seattle, Washington in 1985 consisting of Warrel Dane (vocals), Lenny Rutledge (guitar), Sean Blosl (guitar), Jim Sheppard (bass), and Dave Budbill (drums). Former Metallica and Megadeth guitarist Dave Mustaine was the influential force in getting the band signed to Epic Records. He produced their first album and played guitar on their cover of Jefferson Airplane’s White Rabbit.

The band was dissolved in 1991, following pressure from Epic Records to fit in with the flourishing Seattle scene. Warrel Dane and Jim Sheppard disagreed with this change, and left to form Nevermore.

In May 2010 Warrel Dane stated that Santuary were to reform with the original line-up to record a new album and tour.

    Nevermore is not very good.

    Nevermore > Sanctuary. Nevermore are a lot more original, creative and diverse. I like Sanctuary, but honestly their songwriting is quite repetitive. I guess most people who prefer Sanctuary are old school freaks who don't like Nevermore's more modern style and different influences.

    Sanctuary and Nevermore don't even compare, they're too different. And only idiots think that if they like something more than another thing that means that it objectively is better. However, the statement "Sanctuary > Nevermore" only implies that the person who says it likes Sanctuary more than Nevermore and that is perfectly legit and I see no reason to call the people who say it "tards". Well, it is a bit unimaginative, but who cares?

    @Hoo_0L: Thanks for the answer but the shout I was referring to has been deleted. If I remember right the person was saying that Sanctuary obviously was power metal.

    I know, I was just being a dick. Besides, what I said wouldn't even make sense because Nevermore are by far more popular, so Sanctuary's simplicity and catchiness obviously doesn't appeal to people more. Btw, I wouldn't really consider Sell My Heart For Stones a typical catchy "hook" song. It does have hooks, but it's a dark song, and the whole thing isn't in 4/4. In the end, I still like both bands, my comment applies mainly to the "SANCTUARY > NEVERMORE [42147] HURR HURR" type of tards.

    @Hoo_0L: that is insanely pretentious to basically say that anyone who prefers Sanctuary to Nevermore just can't understand "complicated" music. i prefer Nevermore myself but it's not like Nevermore don't have a ton of songs that focus only on catchy melodies, groove riffs, etc, all of which is extremely popular in heavy metal music atm (see: Believe In Nothing, Sell My Heart For Stones, blah blah blah). people enjoy what they enjoy, pegging them into specific potholes just for preferences is really, really douche-y.

    I like both Nevermore and Sanctuary. Although they are both Thrash Metal they are quite different
