After the split of NWOBHM band Marquis De Sade, SANCTUS came alive. Musically Sanctus was more or less a direct continuation of Marquis De Sade, though maybe a bit more far out and spacey. 'King For A King' for example is quite long and progressive, while 'Gates Of Sorrow' features occult lyrics. The album also contains an outstanding re-recording of the Marquis De Sade classic 'Welcome To The Graveyard'. The current anthology collects the whole Sanctus catalogue, nine songs all in all (recorded between 1982 and 1983). Dreamy compositions such as 'Temple In The Sky' or 'Creature From Vercenta' reveal slight influences from other NWOBHM acts such as the mighty Trespass and Shiva.
