"Banish from Sanctuary" is a song by the German power metal band Blind Guardian. It was released as the only single from their 1989 album Follow the Blind. The single was pressed on 7" green vinyl and includes the song "Hall of the King" (also taken from Follow the Blind) as a B-side. Only 500 copies of the vinyl were pressed.[1]
