Sanctuary Concert History

In 1985, Sanctuary emerged as one of the early influencers of the Seattle heavy metal and hard rock music scene that appeared in the mid-1980s and early 1990s. While never achieving much commercial success, Sanctuary influenced power metal, thrash metal, and even the heavy metal-influenced grunge band Alice in Chains. Sanctuary released two studio albums in 1988 and 1990 before disbanding in 1992. The band reunited in 2010, dropping "The Year the Sun Died" in 2014," the only studio album to rank on the US Billboard 200 Chart, peaking at 125.
