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.

Biritsh sabbat made two good albums, a mediocre one and they split up, Japanese sabbat have released lots of material including 9 awesome full lengths (not a single bad one) and they continue kicking ass. Also lol@ComandoNoriega complaining about band members beign ugly, such a fag comment.

Not opinionating here, but is the British Sabbat really more "prominent" than the Japanese Sabbat?

Both the japanese and the american Sabbat are brilliant. The british one is one of my favorite thrash bands, even though I'm not that much into thrash nowadays. Japanese one is something really unique old school black metal, so can't say which is better.
