Sabbat

I was looking at Scott's Sabbat page here, and something I noticed.

He says that he recalls vividly when History of a Time to Come came out, which was in 1988.

Yet he also claimed Mourning Has Broken was his first exposure to Sabbat.

Just something I couldn't help but notice...

Well he can realize an album has been released but not hear it. Like me and that Airbourne band.

I can remember when it came out, AND when I first heard it. The first time I met and talked to my best friend he asked me if I had heart Sabbat, and I said "of course", thiking he was talking about Black Sabbath..... I was totally blown away when he played me this album a few days later!

But Scott claimed he and his metal buddies were all enthralled with it, and this was in 1988. Yet he claims his first exposure to Sabbat was Mourning Has Broken, a 1991 release?

Better?

Quote :

Despite being a huge fan of both speed and thrash metal for decades, and having heard the band's debut in college, "Mourning Has Broken" was my first real exposure to Sabbat. After reading the lyrics to their debut, I pretty much dismissed them until many years later when stumbling upon this CD. "Mourning Has Broken" was the band's third and last full length CD and features a different vocalist than their early material. I had read some bad reviews about this disc, but I can only assume that those people are on drugs because this CD is fantastic. This is pure speed metal. Everything about this CD rules, from the crunchy guitars, to the soaring clean vocals, to shredding guitar solos, to the variety in song tempos that includes everthing from blinding speed to melodic, melodramatic sections. Fans of bands like Toxik, Powermad, and Realm should do themselves a favor and find a copy of this CD. It absolutely annihilates. It was this CD that prompted me to go back and search out the band's first two albums.

Thank goodness! The balance of the metal universe has been RESTORED!

That makes it a lot less misleading,

I agree with you that Sabbat's swan song is unfairly overcriticized.

I really like Sabbath, but only have "Dreamweaver".

I need to get their other two.

I never heard Mourning Has Broken. But the first two are both real good.

I prefer this Sabbat:
