Silent Sanctuary is a 5-piece Filipino band that was formed in Metro Manila, Philippines in 2001. Five studio albums have been released by the band throughout its career.

History

Silent Sanctuary was formed in 2001 with three founding members Norman Dellosa (vocals, guitars), Paolo Legaspi (bass guitar, backing vocals), and Allen Calixto (drums).[citation needed] As a growing band, they experimented in their music by mixing in classical instruments to make a unique sound, adding the fourth member, Norman's high school classmate Anjo Inacay (cellist) to the line-up. In 2002, they were asked to guest in UnTV's In the Raw where Anjo asked Jett Ramirez to create string arrangements for their performance. More string instrumentalists joined them during that single episode. Later, Jett and Chino David (violinists) were both asked as formal members of the band. In February 2004, they released an independently produced full-length album in Millennia Bar and Cafe in Kamuning entitled Ellipsis of the Mind. Jett Ramirez later on left the band.[1]

Later on in Tondo, Sarkie Sarangay took over vocal duties for the band after Norman Dellosa's departure.[citation needed] Jason Rondero, vocalist/bassist of indie band New Modern became the band’s new bassist when Paolo Legaspi left the band after the successful debut album called Fuchsiang Pag-ibig.[citation needed]

Albums

Silent Sanctuary’s second album Fuchsiang Pag-ibig,[2] was released under Universal Records in 2007. They did this with the help of their manager Kerwin Rosete who has worked for Parokya ni Edgar, and is now the person behind One Big Family Artist Management who also manage other OPM bands including Itchyworms, Ciudad, Soapdish, Overtone, Wandering Dew, and Concrete Sam.[citation needed]

Their third album called Mistaken for Granted[3] was released on March 27, 2009 under Universal Records with Rommel “Sancho" Sanchez and Buddy Zabala as producers.

Silent Sanctuary spices up their signature “classical music meets rock music” sound with the release of their 4th album called “Monodramatic” in 2013.[4] Under Ivory Music & Video Inc., they launched the most awaited album since the last releasing way back 4 years ago.

Silent Sanctuary sings Angel Eyes theme song "Sa'yo" at the #MyxMo2014 concert.
