Steve Sylvester, Thomas Hand and Gabriele Tommasini, all formerly of Italian Dark Rock legends DEATH SS, add Iommi-inspired guitarist Frederick Dope and John Lord-channeling John Di Lallo on keyboard to form SANCTA SANCTORUM. The bands unique chemistry captures both the spellbinding magic of dark Italian 70's prog and the riff-centered heaviness of Black Sabbath on their debut, "The Shining Darkness".  B.J from Italy's mighty Doomraiser also makes an appearance on this recording.
