Dan Baune’s Lost Sanctuary-Lost Sanctuary

“Arise,” starts things off with a pulsating rhythm that really grabs the listener by the scruff of the neck and makes them pay attention. It shimmers through the line and crackles with energy.

“Temple of Fear,” roars into being with a phenomenal riff. The vocals weave a crucial line between the riffs and the melodies. Setting the scene for a great smashing down of walls.

“No Man’s Land,” slows things down a tad. It gets the listener thinking. Breathing in the scent of chaos and destruction. The guitars combine to build something mystical and magical, burning with an ever ascending sense of desire and passion.

“Lost Sanctuary,” the title track hits the hammer hard. The introduction is soft and lulls the listener into a false sense of security before unleashing all hell as the song reaches a crescendo. A truly phenomenal song.

“Virtual Hedonia,” is a snake, it whirs into being, turning through the flattening of time to deliver something intriguing and impressive all at once.

“Rhapsody of Life,” slowly fades out into the darkness, giving the listener a chance to reflect on the sheer awesomeness of what they’ve just heard.

The album is out on 14th May via Rock of Angels Records.
