Biography

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.

    "Very clearly he was more experimental in Nevermore". Interesting comment as there are no Sanctuary plays in your profile and 49 Nevermore plays. Instead of a blanket statement, perhaps an explanation of why you feel he was more experimental in Nevermore with some actual examples would help me understand your view better.

    "I feel that Warrel was more experimental with his vocals in Sanctuary" Very clearly he was more experimental in Nevermore.

    Sanctuary and Nevermore are clearly different and I like them both. I feel that Warrel was more experimental with his vocals in Sanctuary, as dog whistle highs were not in vogue when Nevermore was at that their peak. However, Nevermore had this critical credibility because of Loomis's awesome guitar playing. It is really an interesting interplay.

    Why does everyone need comparisions? Is it impossible to like both of them? (3). I love both Nevermore and Sanctuary.

    I really enjoyed the Wacken show, actually I had expected something much worse. If you sing along you probably don't mind Warrel fucking up the high notes :D Honestly, I hate Nevermore, but seeing Sanctuary was like a dream unexpectedly come true.

    Cant really put the sow at Wacken into words... Warrel seemed very drunk and made a really bad performance. It's a shame, i was really looking forward to it.

    Sorry that I don't like absolutely homogenous "progressive" metal.

    Nevermore sucks, because of the bad vocals, stupid lyrics and the fact that Jeff Loomis has no balls whatsoever.
