This is a very rare demotape from Sanctus a Progressive Heavy Metal/NWOBHM band. They were from the U.K, formed in 1981 and split up somewhere in 1983. This demo is the only thing they have ever released.
This was a London based heavy metal band that released two demos only. The thing that makes this demo sound a bit progressive are the keyboards that the band uses. On this release the keyboards have their own unique sound and this makes the band stand out. The vocalist of the band Colin Bradley is really good too! The leader of the band seems to be San Remo who plays the bass and the keyboards and who played in a band called MARQUIS DE SADE (a really good N.W.O.B.H.M. band) before forming SANCTUS. The lyrics of the tracks were in the fields of sword ‘n’ sorcery and science fiction. For all the friends of N.W.O.B.H.M. this is a really good proposal!
