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

The Wanderer
Sabaoth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where the sacrifices and rituals
Are consumed, tears and blood
Of weak mortals
He saw the witches dance
In those woods and now
He romes behind the trees
Because weak souls continue
He most protect them
His empire is martiry and pain
Only darkness and the deep reach him
The rest are no more tan nothing,
They are terrenial
And him superior.
The lyrics to Sabaoth's The Wanderer tell the story of a powerful being who lives in a secluded corner of the forest, where the weak mortals of the surrounding area come to make sacrifices and perform rituals in order to appease him. The being has seen the witches dance in his woods and now wanders among the trees, keeping a watchful eye on the weak souls who dwell in his lands. He deems them inferior to himself and his empire, which is built on martyrdom and pain. The being's world is one of darkness and depth, where earthly concerns are trivial and he is all-powerful.
