584.0. "Sabbat" by REPAIR::EDWARDS (Macro-solutions to Mega-problems) Thu Jun 29 1989 12:39


		This must surely be the best thrash band to come out of
	the UK so far.  They surpassed Onslaught with their first album
	and now no one can touch them.
		I haven't seen the band live yet, every time they play
	I either don't hear about it or I can't get tix or I'm ill (what
	a bitch).  I have it on good authority though that they are
	brilliant live, especially now with the addition of a second
	guitarist.

	Discography (only a little one)

	History of a Time to Come
	Dreamweaver (Visions of Our Yesteryears)

		Possibly the best concept album ever, Dreamweaver.  Buy
	it on C.D. NOW!!
		SABBAT are definately one of the elite thrash outfits
	around among the likes of Voivod, Slayer, Nuclear Assault,
	and Sepulchura.


	Horned is the Hunter -Mosh-

584.1		CHEFS::DALLISON	Its Katching !	`Thu Jun 29 1989 14:14`	5
	I meet the guys in Sabbat and was surprised how quiet they all are. Great band though (I think MTV <UK> are doing a special on them soon).
584.2		REPAIR::EDWARDS	Macro-solutions to Mega-problems	`Fri Jun 30 1989 04:51`	6
	Yeah, MTV recorded the two shows that Sabbat just did at the Marquee. So expect a special in couple of weeks. -Mosh-
584.3		ASAHI::COOPER	Burn my flag, and I'll shoot ya...	`Thu Jul 06 1989 11:37`	5
	"Sabot" in french means shoe.... Anyone care ?
584.4	Not exactly ...	CASEE::LALLI	Didier - BCE Valbonne - ext. 828.5423	`Fri Jul 07 1989 03:36`	8
	> "Sabot" in french means shoe.. It means "wooden shoe", and also the stuff you put under horses' feet (clog?). The real word for shoe is "chaussure". Anyone care ? :-) Didier
584.5		ROSBIF::PHILIPPA	Sleazy Entrepeneur	`Wed Oct 25 1989 06:43`	8
	Sabbat have added an extra date to their UK tour: London Marquee November 27. Xentrix will be thier support slot. Flip
584.6	Is this the beginning of the end?	PLAYER::SUTHERLAND	Up the Criek without a Duvel	`Tue Feb 12 1991 13:41`	12
	Re -2 And why do the Dutch wear wooden shoes? Too keep the Woodpeckers off of their heads (^8*. Got Dreamweaver backed up to Scatterbrain so I can listen to two great (if somewhat different) albums one after the other! Definitely 'Advent of Insanity' is the best track from this hyper thrash album. I also like 'Wildfire' though! Ga-ZAZ
584.7	Got a good review in Metal Hammmer too.	HLDG00::SUTHERLAND	Burns like a buzzsaw blade	`Tue May 28 1991 11:13`	20
	I now have the new Sabbat album - Mourning Has Broken. I believe this band has gone through several incarnations recently, but I don't know what the original line-up was, so can't comment. On the whole this album is much better than Dreamweaver. It is not as dark or wierdly mystical as Dreamweaver tried to be. The sound is much tighter and the vocals extremely clear for a (very) thrash band. They attempt to do some different things (notably Dumbstruck), particularly with drum sets (sounds like knocking on wood sometimes) and guitar counters. It is a pretty technical piece of work, not easy listening by any means but on the whole I like it. There are even shades of Stevie Vai licks in there (^8*. If you like this kind of thing then buy this album, you will not be disappointed. GAZ
