"Blown away. Either to be blown away or to be left in peace and quietness – this is what everyone desperately wants these days. To be absolutely taken in by something – something you believe in, something that calms you down and something that’s blinding out the rest of the world when you’re breathing it in. “Rune†by Sanction IV is definitely the right soundtrack to a feeling like this.
With much heart and passion, Sanction IV created a unique mix of Electronica, Trip-Hop and acoustic performances. The melodies are fresh like warm winds in spring and still fragile like a butterflys wings. The beats are emphasizing the vulnerable characters of the songs but they are also setting enough muscles on them for the cold cold world. The strong debut of Sanction IV shows the intense inner world of brainchild (songwriter and producer) Merlin Leuenberger: it is true passion needless of words. We can be sure that “Rune†was just the beginning for him."

Biography
Merlin Leuenberger, the brainchild of Sanction IV and co-founder of Spectral Paradisis, is a man who has always put all his love into the music that he produces. He started making music back in 2003, messing around with simple sound-programms and various acoustic instruments, but it soon began to grow immensely into a world full of heart-based music writing. Merlin soon began to work together with other musicians, each of them with a totally different musical background. It was all about gaining experience and exchanging technologies, finding eachother. In 2006 then, Merlin founded the Trip-Hop/Electronica project Sanction IV. At the moment there are 5 musicians working on this project, but we are still hoping to find the best-suited voice to our music.
Sanction IV has just released their debut album 'Rune' which is currently available on Sanctionfour.com and in a few weeks time also on CDBaby.com and Itunes.

With two Laptops and different other musicians they play an improvised, 2-3 Hours set which changes on every show. Check it out @ www.myspace.com/spectralparadisis
