Band Answer on the Interview regarding their Band Name:
"Silent Sanctuary is a place of refuge, it's a place where you are alone with your thoughts. A place where you can find comfort and strength. Everybody has how or her own silent sanctuary, it's just a matter of finding which one is yours. In our case, it's music. And it's through this music that we hope we can also give to others their silent sanctuary."
Silent Sanctuary never fails to capture first their audiences attention then their hearts. Their repertoire offers a variety of songs destined to make one ride a rollercoaster of emotions from the exhilaration of loving to the melancholy of heartbreak, from the delight of a summer day to the misery of a dark gloomy night. The music of this five-piece band brings to surprising fruition the eclectic combination of their varied influences. Guitarist and vocalist Sarkie Sarangays Bob Marley influence is showcased in the header-bopping Summer

Song, while shades of Dace Matthews can be discerned from drummer Allen Calixtos and bassist Paolo Legaspis grooves. Aside from being classically trained in their respective instruments, cellist Anjo Inacay and violinist Chine Davids sounds are heavily laden by the edginess of OPM idols The Eraserheads, the creativity of Apocalyptica and Yo Yo Ma, and the ingenuity of Stephane Grapelli.
