No Sanctuary is the first album by the British crust punk band Amebix.[1] It was released in November 1983 through Spiderleg Records. It entered the Independent Albums Chart at No. 12 on 26 November 1983,[2] and reached No. 9 the following week.[3]
The music is one of the earliest examples of crust punk, and combines it with post-punk.[4][5] The album artwork is a photograph by Dmitri Baltermants (titled "Grief") that depicts a 1942 Nazi massacre of Jews in the Crimean city of Kerch.
The album was re-released as part of the compilation No Sanctuary: The Spiderleg Recordings in 2008 on Alternative Tentacles.
