Dark Sanctuary

Dark Sanctuary is a French band that was created in February 1996. They play a kind of "Dark Atmospheric" music. Their first official release was a 20 min single track miniCD, "Funeral Cry", released in 1997 and, at that time, the band only consisted of two members, Arkdae on keyboards and Marquise Ermia on vocals. In 1998, the band wanted to increase its strength by adding new members; another keyboard player, Hylgaryss, a percussionist/bassist, Sombre Cÿr and a violinist, Eliane joined Dark Sanctuary. Together, they recorded the 1st album, "Royaume Mélancolique" and made their first concert in September 1998 near Paris.
