1. Black Metal band from Paraguay
2. Supreme Occult Dark Ritual band from Italy
3. Breakcore/Gabber/Noise producer Sabaoth (free album download), youtube account
1. Sabaoth were formed in Asuncion, Paraguay, in the end of 1992, with Norrack (drums) and Zethyaz (guitar). A little later, Zethineph joined in to handle vocals and keyboards. They released two demos "Dentro del Culto" (1993) and "Southern Twilight" (1994), with helped to establish their personality, based around an imaginative black metal. The second tape enjoyed a vast distribution worlwide and received excellent reviews.
Such auspicious recording led contract with the Argentina based label Stormsouls, and in November 1995 they recorded the self titled debut CD. Slightly influences from gothic wave and atmospheric passages around the intense black metal core, were the reasons why countless magazines around the world praised "Sabaoth" as one of the masterpieces of the south American gothic/black metal scene.
In May ..96 Sabaoth played in a festival in Buenos Aires, Argentina, as second band just before the legend Sarcofago. Again, the band received excellent reviews, by both press and audience.
While they started to prepare new song, through the new label Icarus it was released "Shield of Leaves", the debut CD of Eyesight, solo project of Zethyaz, which is constructed around acoustic song, with Zethyaz playing all instruments and singing.
After some line-up changes (Zethineph left temporally the band), the rest decided to continue as a duo, and in 1999 Sabaoth started the recording sessions of the second album.
Free from any styles restriction, "Windjourney" is a melt of gothic and pop-oriented melodies, yet with that black metal vibe. This shows the maturity of both musicians Zethyas (in change of the vocals in this opportunity), and The N (Norrack) playing also Keyboards. Together they have created "Windjourney" as a stimulating journey within the imagination.
Nowadays, after playing with SEPULTURA (DANTE XXI TOUR) and BLOOD PARADE (Argentina), SABAOTH is back, signed one more time for ICARUS MUSIC, and releasing their third album , "LES ILLUMINATIONS", a conceptual and vast work based on the symbolist poetry of the 19th century; taken words from authors such as Baudelaire and Lautréamont. LES ILLUMINATONS is available on www.icarusmusic.com.ar

Since Shade Relents
Sabaoth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Since 'tis indeed the day
Since hope I long had deemed forever flown
Wings back to me that call on her and pray
Since so much joy consents to be my own.
And all the evil dreams
¡Ah! Done am I above all
The heartless wit that laughed where one should sigh.
¡Away!
Clenched fist and bosom's angry swell
That knave and fool at every turn abound.
¡Away!
Hard unforgivingness
Farewell
Oblivion in a hated brewage found
Yes, calm I mean to walk through life, and straight
Patient of all, unanxious of the goal
(Void of all)
Envy
Violence
Hate
And as I may, to lighten the long way
Go singing airs ingenuous and brave
She'll listen to me graciously (I say)
And, verily, no other heaven i crave.
No other heaven I crave
The lyrics to Sabaoth's "Since Shade Relents" are a reflection of the singer's newfound hope and departure from negativity. The first stanza describes how the singer has regained hope after believing it was lost forever. The second stanza is a rejection of negative emotions such as envy, violence, and hate. The singer wants to live a calm and patient life and walk straight through it. They want to be able to sing happy and brave songs and be heard graciously. The closing line reinforces the singer's desire for a positive and hopeful life, saying that they don't crave any other heaven.
The song is filled with contrasts, including the shift from shade to sunlight and from hopelessness to hope. The use of negative language in the second stanza is in stark contrast to the positivity and hope in the first. The use of "knave" and "fool" to describe others is a contrast to the more positive language in the rest of the song.

Since shade relents
The darkness has lifted
Since 'tis indeed the day
It is a new day full of hope
Since hope I long had deemed forever flown
I thought I had lost hope forever, but now it has returned
Wings back to me that call on her and pray
Hope has been restored to me through prayer
Since so much joy consents to be my own.
I am feeling happy and grateful for the joy in my life
And all the evil dreams
All of my bad dreams and nightmares
¡Ah! Done am I above all
I have triumphed over my bad dreams
With the narrowed lips, the sneer
With the expression of contempt and disdain
The heartless wit that laughed where one should sigh.
The cruel jokes that were inappropriate and insensitive
¡Away!
I reject and cast away those negative attitudes
Clenched fist and bosom's angry swell
My anger and frustration
That knave and fool at every turn abound.
The dishonest and foolish people I encounter frequently
¡Away!
I choose not to let them affect me and let go of my anger
Hard unforgivingness
Refusal to forgive
Farewell
I say goodbye to this unforgiveness
Oblivion in a hated brewage found
The bitterness of unforgiveness leads to a negative state of mind
Yes, calm I mean to walk through life, and straight
I aim to live a peaceful and honest life
Patient of all, unanxious of the goal
I am patient and not worried about achieving my goals
(Void of all)
Free from
Envy
Jealousy
Violence
Aggression and hostility
Hate
Intense dislike and negativity towards others
And as I may, to lighten the long way
To make my journey through life easier
Go singing airs ingenuous and brave
To sing honest and brave songs
She'll listen to me graciously (I say)
I believe that someone will listen and appreciate my music
And, verily, no other heaven i crave.
I do not desire any other form of happiness besides this one
