Sanctuary - Refuge Denied (CD)

After having recorded their first demo, guitarist Lenny Rutledge managed to establish contact with singer and guitarist Dave Mustaine after a show of his band, Megadeth. Mustaine expressed interest in the demo and in acting as producer. Mustaine's manager at the time, Keith Rawls, financed the recording and finally became Sanctuary's manager. Talks to a number of record labels led to the signing with Epic.

The album was re-released in 2010 together with successor album Into the Mirror Black as double CD by reissue label IronBird via Cherry Red.

"White Rabbit" is a cover originally by Jefferson Airplane.

“Battle Angels” was featured in the fourth episode of the first season of the Netflix series, The OA, “Away”.

The album initially sold 7,000 copies on vinyl. By June 2011, the album had sold over 200,000 copies.
