Sanctuary (band)

Sanctuary was a heavy metal band founded in Seattle, Washington in 1985 consisting of Warrel Dane (vocals), Lenny Rutledge (guitar), Sean Blosl (guitar), Jim Sheppard (bass), and Dave Budbill (drums). Former Metallica and Megadeth guitarist Dave Mustaine was the influential force in getting the band signed to Epic records. He produced their first album. The band was dissolved in 1991, with pressures from Epic records to change their style from heavy metal to following the then popular, grunge scene. Warrel Dane and Jim Sheppard disagreed with this change, and left to form Nevermore.
