Jaime' En Fuego of Heavy Metal Television conducted an interview with vocalist Warrel Dane and guitarist Lenny Rutledge of the reunited '80s cult metal outfit SANCTUARY on Novemebr 21, 2014 in Mesa, Arizona. You can now watch the chat below.SANCTUARY's comeback album, "The Year The Sun Died", was released in October 2014 via Century Media. Recorded in Seattle at Soundhouse Studios with producer Chris "Zeuss" Harris (SOULFLY, SHADOWS FALL, HATEBREED, MUNICIPAL WASTE), the CD features 11 tracks. There was a deluxe media book, available exclusively at CM Distro in the United States, which featured expanded packaging and the bonus track, a cover of THE DOORS classic "Waiting For The Sun". The vinyl version came with a CD featuring this bonus track as well. The cover artwork for the album was created by Travis Smith (OPETH, NEVERMORE).SANCTUARY last year filmed video for the song "Frozen" with director Dirk Behlau. In 2010, four of the founding SANCTUARY members Warrel Dane, Jim Sheppard, Lenny Rutledge and Dave Budbill came together for a few select reunion performances. At first, it was just going to be a handful of shows, but the response and chemistry on stage was so overwhelming that the guys changed their minds. Now, some 20 years after they left off, SANCTUARY has continued with its unique mix of U.S. power metal, hard rock and progressive elements.To complete the lineup, Brad Hull (FORCED ENTRY) is filling in for former guitar player Sean Blosi. SANCTUARY released the classic albums "Refuge Denied" and "Into The Mirror Black" during its short existence between 1985 and 1992. Following the band's split, Dane and Sheppard formed NEVERMORE.SANCTUARY's current lineup:Warrel Dane - VocalsLenny Rutledge - GuitarBrad Hull - GuitarsJim Sheppard - BassDave Budbill - Drums
