Two artists share this name: a British thrash metal band and a Japanese black/thrash metal. They are listed in order of prominence:

1) The British Sabbat is a thrash metal band formed out the ashes of two previous high-school bands, ‘Hell’ and ‘Hydra’, in May 1985, when vocalist Martin Walkyier and bassist Fraser Craske of Hydra ditched their guitarist (who wished to concentrate on a more melodic style of metal) and hooked up with guitarist Andy Sneap and drummer Simon Negus to form the first Sabbat line-up. After rehearsing for nearly a year they released the “Fragments of a Faith Forgotten” demo, which was very well received, with immediate interest from several record companies and a two-page spread in Kerrang! magazine. After releasing a Warhammer-inspired Flexi-disc on the front cover of White Dwarf magazine, the band penned a deal with German Noise Records in mid 1987 (signing had previously been delayed because Andy Sneap was under 18 years of age and not legally an adult). The band travelled to Hanover in September 1987 to record their debut album, “History Of A Time To Come”. It was well received, as was the follow-up effort “Dreamweaver”, however, tensions within the band began to mount, Some of the tensions related to Martin Walyier’s folk music direction and Andy Sneap’s long drawn out songwriting - 2 facts documented in terrorizer magazine,and Metal Hammer - However, the biggest pressure was simply financial - the band were broke, and completely unmanaged by their record label Noise.

    The Japanese Sabbat are playing NWN in Berlin two days later, so it's probably them.

    v This is called projection, boys and girls, a subhuman tactic meant to insulate the user from culpability and suspicion by accusing their opponent of whatever it is they themselves are doing and thereby shifting critical focus from them to you.

    You're really trying to save face over losing a last.fm comments argument? Is this really what you wanna do with your life? Get over it.

    I'm pretty sure that was all you, trying really hard.

    Pretty sure you lumped yourself in since you're referring to a point that was very obviously directed at someone else as if though it had been directed at you. But again, we're going back to your inability to follow a simple argument. But I'll accept your mewling withdrawal despite your further inability to back out gracefully from a losing argument. Also maybe, you should learn where, commas are supposed to, go.
