Sanctuary was a heavy metal band founded in Seattle, Washington in 1985. The band consisted of Warrel Dane (vocals), Lenny Rutledge (guitar), Sean Blosl (guitar), Jim Sheppard (bass), Dave Budbill (drums), and in the end Jeff Loomis.

History

Before playing in Sanctuary, Warrel Dane was the vocalist of the heavy metal band Serpent's Knight, which released a full-length album in 1983.Jim Sheppard played in a glam metal band called Sleeze, with the vocalist Layne Staley (later in Alice in Chains), around 1985.

They released a demo in 1986, which was well received, and that lead them to sign with Epic Records in 1987. They released their debut album, "Refuge Denied", in the same year. It was produced by Dave Mustaine, frontman of popular thrash metal band, Megadeth. Thus followed a tour alongside Megadeth and the German band Warlock.

After the tour, they entered the studio to record their second and final studio album, "Into The Mirror Black", in 1990. A video clip for the song "Future Tense" was made and it received some air play on MTV's Headbanger's Ball. During the tour (with the bands Forbidden and Death Angel), the guitarist Sean Blosl left the band and was replaced by Jeff Loomis.

Shortly after, pressure from Epic Records to fit in with the flourishing Seattle grunge scene caused disagreements between band members (regarding the band's musical direction). So it followed that in 1991, Sanctuary officially disbanded.

Epic Records was to release a full length live recording from this final tour but only a limited number of copies of a promotional live EP ever saw the light of day. It was named Into the Mirror Live.
