Dark Sanctuary是一支来自法国优秀的Mediaeval/Neo Classical乐团，
组建于1996年。当时只是Arkdae的一个个人组合。在2月份录制了一张仅45分钟的DEMO，名为“Bruises”.而且只发行了500张限量拷贝.在这张DEMO里，Arkdae只是用合成器和吉他创作了一种充满阴暗氛围的音乐.
随后Arkdae准备录制一张新的DEMO,结果只有一首长达20分钟的歌曲,
然后花了一年的时间准备,这时Marquise Ermia帮助Arkdae完成了这
首歌曲里的人声部分.这张DEMO最终在97年录制完成,之后以CD的形式
于98年由官方正式发行.
名为“Funeral Cry”。而Marquise Ermia也顺理成章地加入Dark Sanctuary,成为正式成员.
此时乐队只有两位成员，负责合成器的Arkdae，和担任主音的Marquise Ermia。
1998年，乐队想增加新的成员来为乐队注入新的音乐灵感和加强自己的实力。此时，合成器好手Hylgaryss,敲击乐手Sombre Cyr
和提琴手Eliane一同加入了Dark Sanctuary。这为Dark Sanctuary注入了更多元化的音乐元素.随后他们录制了乐队的第一张正式专辑“Royaume Mélancolique”
并且在98年的九月在巴黎附近举行他们的首场演出。
在99年的11月他们离开Ancestral Craft,和Wounded Love Records签约，转投旗下。这时,第二名提琴手Marguerite加入Dark Sanctuary.
随后乐队开始为下一张专辑做充分的准备.在2000年3月份录制了Dark Sanctuary的第二张专辑“De Lumière et d'Obscurité”
此时乐队的风格已经确立并趋向成熟，忧伤的新古典架构和强烈的压抑，荒凉氛围感得到完美的结合。
Marquise Ermia的声音仿佛是为演唱这种音乐而诞生的，高亢而纤细天使般的声线浸透着一份黑暗忧郁的慑人气质。
在2000年11月,不幸的事情降临在Dark Sanctuary!女主音Marquise Ermia为了完成学业而离开Dark Sanctuary。随后Dame Pandora代替了Marquise Ermia成为Dark Sanctuary的新主音。
2003年1月，Dark Sanctuary在德国录制了第三张专辑“L'Etre Las - l'envers du miroir”
Dark Sanctuary is a French goth/neo-classical band, formed in 1996.
They play a kind of “Dark Atmospheric” music. Their first official release was a 20 min single track Mcd, Funeral Cry, released in 1997. At that time, the band only consisted of two members, Arkdae on keyboards and Marquise Ermia on vocals.
In 1998, the band wanted to increase its strength by adding new members, like another keyboard player, Hylgaryss, a percussionnist/bassist, Sombre Cr and a violinist, Eliane. Together, they recorded the 1st album, Royaume Mélancolique. They also held their first concert in September 1998 near Paris.
In November 1999, they signed with Wounded Love Records and after the 2nd violinist Marguerite joined, they recorded their 2nd album, De Lumière et d’Obscurité, which was released in November 2000.
Right after their recording sessions, Marquise Ermia left the band to carry on her studies, and a new singer, Dame Pandora, joined the band.
Their 3d album, “L’tre las - L’envers du miroir” was recorded in March 2002 and released at the beginning of 2003, few months after the release of a two-track single. This album, which has had a huge success in France and Germany, definitely established Dark Sanctuary as one of the greatest bands in this musical style.
After few concerts in France, the band returned to Germany in order to record its 4th album, “Les Mémoires Blessées”. This latest one, which was released in early 2004, confirmed Dark Sanctuary’s own style while providing a deeper maturity, as well as new musical horizons.
The line-up and intensity of a sextet offers a twist to what usually is a one-man-scene, and the diversity of the members draws a new musical landscape, without giving up the dark, melodic and bewitching side that caracterizes Dark Sanctuary since the beginning.
