Description:

GLORIOUS SOUNDSCAPES IN THE STYLE OF DEAD CAN DANCE FROM THE
CELEBRATED FRENCH DARK AMBIENT / ATMOSPHERIC SPECIALISTS.
Celebrated neo-classical act Dark Sanctuary formed in February 1996 in
Paris, France, with the initial line-up of Arkdae on keyboards & Marquise
Ermia on vocals
Their ofcial debut release followed soon after, in 1997, with the ‘Funeral Cry’ MCD.

The band later added more members, including a violinist, at which point Dark
Sanctuary recorded their debut opus, leading to a string of revered albums
establishing the band as a leading light of the dark atmospheric genre into the new
millennium.
Now marking 20 years since its original release, for this, their ffth album, Dark
Sanctuary began work on a larger- scale project called ‘Exaudi Vocem Meam’; a
conceptual album which was ultimately to be divided into 2 parts.
The album was
recorded over the summer of 2005 at E- Studio in Germany, with part one released
later that same year.
As is consistent with the band’s past & subsequent catalogue of work, Dark Sanctuary
creates dark & emotional ambient soundscapes in the vein of Dead Can Dance, with
female vocals backed up by strings, piano & a broad array of instrumentation.
‘Exaudi Vocem Meam Part I’ also notably features a guest appearance from Theodor
Schwadorf of The Vision Bleak on the track ‘Dein Kalter Stein’.
