Sanctuary | 22.04.26 | @ Piraeus Club Academy
Sanctuary are coming to Greece for one show only! See you on Wednesday, April 22nd, on the stage of Piraeus Club Academy. We leave our legacy like dust in the sands of time. It's a cliché, but it also happens to be true: Sanctuary need no introduction.
By Dimitris (Bari) Polyzois
Least of all to us, the Greek crowd. And it's equally true that, for us, Sanctuary will always be Warrel Dane. That voice, those lyrics, that personality that left its mark on thousands and that will always be missed (by us). It's for him and for his own legacy that we're gathering on Wednesday, April 22nd at Piraeus Club Academy (Facebook, Instagram).

A few words about the band
The Sanctuary they conquered Seattle in no time when they started out in 1985, and despite their spectacularly unlucky run they keep winning over fans to this day, among them the far-from-easily-impressed Dave Mustaine (Megadeth), who actually decided to produce their debut after hearing their demo on a visit to their city.
That record was none other than the legendary Refuge Denied (1987), which launched their career and led to the iconic Into the Mirror Black (1990), which would definitely have met with a different reception had it come out a few years later, once grunge's paint job had faded. That much was proved beyond all doubt when the band's "natural successors", Nevermore, started putting out their own work.
We sail an ocean, a sea of doubt Skeptics make no sense
Their 2011 reunion and the release of The Year The Sun Died in 2014 thrilled fans and critics alike, all of whom couldn't wait to see the band finally claim the place it deserved in the metal firmament. Unfortunately, though, luck was once again not on their side, as the untimely death of the man who defined the band's identity, Warrel Dane, ruled out any continuation for good. Today the founder of Sanctuary, Lenny Ruttledge, keeps his friend's fiery words alive through the spine-chilling compositions they wrote together, which today sound as sharp and as necessary as ever.
