A late-1970s band known for sludgy heaviness, blistering guitars, and Martin Walkyier's distinctive vocals.
For a quick sense of their sound, try 'Darkness and Evil' or 'The Letter From Death'.
Sabbat's sound was heavy and sludgy with blistering guitars, anchored by Walkyier's distinctive vocal delivery. Songs like 'The Letter From Death' became staples for fans drawn to their unapologetic approach. Conservative groups often protested their shows, and Walkyier's stage presence was considered deliberately provocative.
Sabbat formed in the late 1970s from the remains of another band called Deep Sleep. They faced financial struggles early on and went through numerous lineup changes, though Walkyier remained the constant presence. They released several albums in the 1980s and early 1990s, including 'Sabbatical' in 1984 and 'Dreamweaver' in 1989.
