Mad Gods and Englishmen

Description

Sabbat is an English thrash metal band from Nottingham founded by Martin Walkyier, Frazer Craske and Andy Sneap. They signed to Noise Records, where they produced two landmark albums of their unique pagan thrash metal: "History of A Time To Come" (1988) and "Dreamweaver" (1988). The songwriting duo of singer and lyricist Martin Walkyier, combined with the guitar prowess of Andy Sneap, were ahead of their time and created two of the most important albums of the late 80s. This box set contains these two foundational studio albums, as well as a recently rediscovered Radio 1 session that preceded them, unavailable since its original broadcast in 1987. This collection is completed by live performances (on CD or LP and DVD), and a booklet is included with the 2 CD or LP formats of the box set. Limited box set five vinyl + DVD. Includes a 32-page lyric book and a double-sided poster. This box set contains "History Of A Time To Come" (LP), "Dreamweaver" (LP), "Live In Berlin" 1990 (2LP), and "BBC Radio 1 : Friday Rock Show Session" (LP), and "The End Of The Beginning" (DVD). If the post-NWOBHM era rejected very little of the British metal scene that could scare the world, then Sabbat was a brilliant and frightening exception. From Nottingham, they had the courage to abandon clichés and try a little experimentation and individuality in a musical style that seemed, at the time, based on the obvious. They signed to Noise Records, where they produced two flagship albums of their unique pagan thrash metal; "History Of A Time To Come" (1988) and "Dreamweaver" (1988). The songwriting duo of singer and lyricist Martin Walkyier combined with the songwriting of guitarist Andy Sneap (now a full-fledged producer and guitarist for Judas Priest) were ahead of their time and created two of the most important albums of the late 80s... This box set contains these two foundational studio albums as well as a recently found Radio 1 session that preceded them, unavailable since its original broadcast in 1987. This collection is completed by their historic performance at the Thrashing East Live concert in East Berlin in 1990, just as the Iron Curtain was falling. It is presented here on DVD for the first time and also as a live album that was released in full for the first time, including the songs left off the DVD.
