(1987) (1990)

Refuge Denied is the debut album by the band Sanctuary, who

disbanded in 1991 (partially reforming as Nevermore).
 This was the only album to feature extremely high pitched,
layered vocals from vocalist Warrel Dane. It has been
speculated that Dane injured himself in the making of Refuge
Denied, due to the change in vocal style in his subsequent
work.[citation needed]

It was produced by Megadeth vocalist and guitarist, Dave

Mustaine.

"White Rabbit" is a cover version of a Jefferson Airplane song

and Dave Mustaine performed the guitar solo on it.
