“The new Sanctuary record practically sounds like Nevermore without Jeff Loomis. This is, to a large extent, due to Dane’s vocals. You can talk about the high-pitched screams from ‘Future Tense’ only in, well, past tense… Instead, you get what later became his trademark style, a combination of not particularly powerful – but soaked in some type of otherworldly grief – high vocals, and episodic dives into the low register, reminiscent of what Peter Steele used to do.“
