We are so happy, after all these years, to have been able to revive this alchemy and to present you very soon our new compositions. It’s been a long time and we missed making music together.

We have now decided to go back to work to enjoy ourselves and we hope with all our heart that it will please those who have followed us during all these years”.\u003cbr\u003eIt is truly surprising, over a decade later, to witness Dark Sanctuary notorious alchemy made of stunning vocal textures, neo-classical and acoustic sounds. Iterum is now released digitally, but the essence of a band who has taken the first and most important steps in the late 90's mid 00's cannot do without a physical release, so we are releasing it in early 2022 as a vinyl\/cd in a joint formats release with an additional track not included in the digital version.\u003cbr\u003eIterum will be available as white 10’’ LP, including a CD listening copy, and will be limited to 500 pieces.
