Sabbat (English band)

Sabbat were an English thrash metal band from Nottingham consisting of Martin Walkyier (vocals), Andy Sneap (guitars), Simon Jones (guitars), Frazer Craske (bass) and Simon Negus (drums). They are considered one of the "Big Four" of British thrash metal along with Acid Reign, Onslaught and Xentrix, who were all responsible for developing and popularising the country's thrash metal scene in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Over their initial six-year run, Sabbat released three studio albums, four demos, two split singles/compilation albums, two singles and a live VHS. In 1988, the band released their debut album, History of a Time to Come, which earned them further recognition. Their second album, Dreamweaver (Reflections of Our Yesterdays) (1989), was also critically acclaimed.
