DARK SANCTUARY – EXAUDI VOCEM MEAM PART 2

Dark Sanctuary, the celebrated French neo-classical act, began work in 2005 on a larger-scale project called ‘Exaudi Vocem Meam’; a conceptual album which was ultimately to be divided into 2 parts. The album was recorded over the summer of 2005 at E-Studio in Germany, with part one released later that same year, with part two following in 2006.

‘Exaudi Vocem Meam Part I’ notably features a guest appearance from Theodor Schwadorf of The Vision Bleak on the track ‘Dein kalter Stein’ and Part II sees a continues with a collection of richly layered and textured soundscapes in the vein of Dead Can Dance, with female vocals accompanied by strings, piano, and variety of instrumentation combining for an opus of ethereal art.
