Inception is a compilation album by American heavy metal band Sanctuary, released on February 24, 2017, through Century Media Records. A prequel to the band's 1988 debut studio album Refuge Denied, the album contains remixed and remastered lost studio recordings from 1986. This is Sanctuary's final release with vocalist Warrel Dane, who died of a heart attack on December 13, 2017.




Critical reception



Olivier Badin of Terrorizer rated the album moderately positive, and wrote, "Zeuss' careful remastering job here has leased a new sense of life to these early versions. [...] And even with a then 25-year-old Warrel Dane in pure Rob Halford mode and a very mid-'80s power/thrash style, this doesn't sound dated at all and even actually has a sense of urgency its second version lacked." He concluded, "With 'Refuge Denied' hard to get these days, it's a win-win situation."
