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
