sabbat were a thrash metal band from nottingham , england , consisting of martin walkyier -lrb- vocals -rrb- , andy sneap -lrb- guitars -rrb- , simon jones -lrb- guitars -rrb- , gizz butt -lrb- bass -rrb- and simon negus -lrb- drums -rrb- .
over the years sabbat have released three studio albums , four demos , two split singles/compilation albums , two singles and a live vhs .
in 1988 , the band released their debut album `` history of a time to come '' , which earned them further recognition .
their next album , `` dreamweaver -lrb- reflections of our yesterdays -rrb- '' -lrb- 1989 -rrb- was also critically acclaimed .
shortly after the release of `` mourning has broken '' , tensions with the band began to surface , most of them revolved around money .
this resulted in sabbat breaking up .
after an attempted reunion in 2001 , which was blocked by sneap , the original sabbat lineup reunited in 2006 , and in december of that year , performed together for the first time in sixteen years at four different venues in england .
the band had continued to perform at many live venues and festivals around the world since then , but did not release any new material .
sneap confirmed in a january 2014 interview with `` decibel '' magazine that sabbat have once again split up .
