History

The band was formed in 2001 with Norman Dellosa (vocals, guitars), Paolo Legaspi (bass guitar, backing vocals), and Allen Calixto (drums).[ citation needed ] They experimented with their music by using classical instruments. To achieve this, they added Anjo Inacay (cellist), Dellosa's high school classmate, to the line-up.

In 2002, they guested in UnTV's In the Raw where Anjo asked Jett Ramirez to create string arrangements for their performance. They were joined by other string instrumentalists in the said episode. Later, Jett Ramirez (violist) and Chino David (violinist) were both asked as formal members of the band.

The name Silent Sanctuary was coined by Dellosa. In February 2004, they released an independently produced full-length album in Millennia Bar and Cafe in Kamuning entitled Ellipsis of the Mind. [1] On the same year, Dellosa left the band.

Sarkie Sarangay succeeded Dellosa as the band's vocalist. Jett Ramirez left the band, after they released their debut single "Rebound" in 2006. [ citation needed ] Jason Rondero, vocalist/bassist of indie band New Modern became the band's new bassist when Paolo Legaspi left the band after their successful label debut album called Fuchsiang Pag-ibig, a year after Sarangay joined the band.[ citation needed ]

Controversy

The band was scheduled to be a performer at the 2023 Pride PH Festival in Quezon City (QC). However, the festival organizers and QC Mayor Joy Belmonte made several announcements that the band was dropped from the line-up after its former vocalist Ian Carandang protested their inclusion. [2] [3] In a statement in his social media account, Carandang said that during his time with the band his bandmates made homophobic remarks against him and told him he "needed to go back into the closet if (he) wanted to keep being (the band's) vocalist".
