Sanctuary was 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.

There is also a young Dutch band called Sanctuary. They’re a Gothic cover band who cover songs from Epica, Nightwish and Sonata Arctica

    2Irenicus_ First educate yourself in music before writing bullshit. If you don't know why I mentioned grunge, I'm sorry for you.

    well, that's right. I don't get the point about the discussion anyway, i like both of 'em, and as warrel dane once said when talking to the crowd: SANCTUARY IS NEVERMORE

    I think it's pretty pathetic to hate on Nevermore since Sanctuary were being forced to change to a frickin' Grunge band. That's what would have happened if Warrel and Jim stayed in Sanctuary. Nevermore isn't the reason Sanctuary finished. Grunge is the reason Sanctuary finished. That being said, Nevermore rape every part of Sanctuary. =) Though both are good.

    "Sanctuary is better than Nevermore for most of you because it is so very easy to listen to; old school heavy metal, powerfull riffs and those halfordish screams." Remember that Refuge Denied it's a reference on Metal more that it's the Nevermore Death Heart... And BTW I like both but..Sanctuary have thoose albums that can go through many years and still kick serious ass...Like when we listen to Black Sabbath , Deep Purple, LZ,... or even Motorhead...Now days there is better but the raw music feelling wins...

    Warrel Rocking it up in Both worlds. I'm taking a break from Nevermore. Nothing like some old school metal. Shame the fucking record companies pressure artists to do what sells. I think they should reform sanctuary! Rebirth from the ashes!

    There are two things about Sanctuary that I like over Nevermore. First, the classic old school 80s metal mastering, something you can't replicate. Second, Warrel Dane uses a much wider vocal range here than he uses in more recent Nevermore releases. (Please understand that I love both bands.)

    This is simple: some like Sanctuary more than Nevermore other the precise opposite, there's nothing wrong with that. It is called personal taste. Nothing more. It's your personal opinion to say "fuck Nevermore" but the truth of the facts is: Jim, Jeff and Warrel play and love Nevermore. Musically, Nevermore, for me, it's my personal opinion, is way more complex and appealing than Santuary. But that doesn't mean Santuary is better or worse than Nevermore, that just tells that, for me, personally, it is. Respect if you want to be respected, and listen if you want to be listened, otherwise you'll be exactly what you criticize.

    Nevermore just gets so much hate because their style is modern and not old school.

    You people should realize one thing: Sanctuary is better than Nevermore for most of you because it is so very easy to listen to; old school heavy metal, powerfull riffs and those halfordish screams. I’m not saying they weren’t a great band, I also love their music, but they weren’t what Nevermore is. Nevermore ...oh my, that's something else, definitely not everybody's cup of tea. Their music is complex, you need time and patience to comprehend it and to appreciate it at it’s real value. But of course that’s only my opinion, everybody is free to choose their favorite.

    I've never really liked Nevermore. I've tried, but I just can't. They're talented musicians, Loomis is great, but... Sanctuary just stomps Nevermore.
