Paris based Dark Sanctuary formed in February 1996. Exaudi Vocem Meam I was originally released in 2005 and was the band'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)
