Peaceville

Re-isse of third studio album from French gothic ensemble Dark Sanctuary
"Complete aural splendour" - Live4Metal

Originally released in 2004, Les Mémoires Blessées was the band’s fourth album and contained an even stronger, more vibrant production than its predecessors. The album is surprisingly dynamic - combining classical music, gothic atmospheres and dark ambience alongside occasional elements of modern popular music. Overall the album is orchestration of the highest order, topped with heavenly female vocals.

Exaudi Vocem Meam I was originally released in 2005 and was the Dark Sanctuary's fifth album and the first section of a two part concept.

As is consistent with the band's albums to date, they create dark and emotional ambient soundscapes in the vein of Dead Can Dance and Arcana. Beautiful female vocals backed up by strings, piano, and a broad array of instrumentation plus a very diverse mix of French, German, Latin and English lyrics help enrich the atmosphere.

The album features a guest appearance from Theodor Schwadorf of The Vision Bleak on the track ‘Dein kalter Stein’.

‘HIGHLY RECOMMENDED’ 5/5 (www.metal-invader.com)

Originally released in November 2000, ‘De Lumiere…’ is Dark Sanctuary’s second full-length album.

Creating dark atmospheric, ambient/neo-classical music, often compared to the classic band Dead Can Dance, the band has effectively translated their rich sound to the live arena, performing at numerous gothic/darkwave festivals throughout Europe.
