The Sabbat Story, Part One
It all began on one cold February night back in 1985 when a local band by the name of "Hell" played a gig at a small club near Nottingham. In the audience was one Frazer Craske, a young guy from Nottingham, who played bass in a band named "Hydra". His schoolfriend Martin Walkyier was the singer with "Hydra". The two had recently had some problems with their guitarist who prefered the melodious side of Metal where as Martin and Frazer wanted to play the music they both listened to: fast and hard Metal as played by Metallica, Slayer and Mercyful Fate. At this very concert Frazer ran into one Andy Sneap, a guitarist who was on the lookout for a new band. They got talking, discovered their mutual interests and exchanged phone numbers.
In May the time had come to part with their guitarist and Andy Sneap took over. The first SABBAT line-up was soon completed when drummer Simon Negus joined. The four found an old deserted ballroom where they met three times a week for rehearsals. This proved perfect until the winter when they found out that the temperature in their comfortable ballroom dropped to below freezing. Out came the socks and thick jumpers and rehearsing went on. In May ’86 their first demo which cost them just £10 was recorded at this very venue.
From then on things got moving: the demo which the band had sent to various mags and record companies brought home euphoric reviews, even KERRANG! Did a 2-page colour feature about the new great hope for British Metal and BBC 1 invited them for a Friday-Rock-Show. This in turn caught the interest of the monthly Fantasy-mag "White Dwarf" team who were happy to include a SABBAT Flexi Disc in their magazine.
NOISE Records were the first to wave a contract in their direction and after Andy had happily celebrated his 18th birthday their signatures completed the deal. In September ’87 the band packed their bags and travelled to Hanover in order to record their debut album with producer Roy Rowland.
The Sabbat Story, Part Two
Renowned music journalist Paul Miller could not believe his ears: this inconspicuous piece of black vinyl going round and round on his turntable made him gasp. It didn’t look like anything special, just another ordinary record, but that extraordinarily wonderful sound escaping from his speakers was truly breathtaking. Who would have ever expected such a masterpiece from a young band whose average age was just 19?
Granted - their demo "Fragments of a Faith Forgotten" from May '86 had been promising indeed but this simply surpassed all expectations! Martin Walkyier's lyrics led him off into the land of mystery and imagination, soon the dwarfs, fairies, goblins and wizards were leaping through his head and all over the room. Paul pulled himself together, sat down and picked up the cover. The SABBAT logo decorated the sleeve like a banner on which you looked into a dark sky, thunder, clouds and lightning. In a bloodred surrounding below sat a mysterious horned creature on a moss-covered rock, an open books of spells in front, its arms raised bewitchingly, the clothing in rags and its full white hair flying in the wind...
Who knows how long he'd been sitting there conjuring up dark forces for his rescue?
It was pure captivating magic and our journalist had to pinch himself before he could get down to writing his review for KERRANG!
After releasing a Warhammer-inspired Flexi-disc on the front cover of White Dwarf magazine, the band penned a deal with German Noise Records in mid 1987 (signing had previously been delayed because Andy Sneap was under 18 years of age and not legally an adult). The band travelled to Hanover in September 1987 to record their debut album, A History of a Time to Come. It was well received, as was the follow-up effort Dreamweaver, however, tensions within the band began to mount, much of them centering around Walkyiers continued use of Pagan themes in his lyrics. He left in 1990 along with Craske, with Walkyier going off to form Skyclad, with a group of others who shared his religious beliefs. Though the band recorded one more album, Mourning Has Broken, they could no longer regain the essential chemistry that had made them what they were, and they split up in the middle of supporting tour. Andy Sneap went on to form the group Godsend but is now best known as a producer.
The band returned briefly for a tour in 2001-2002 under the command of Walkyier, without Andy Sneap, using the name Return to the Sabbat.

Ok so now is the time, better now then never to tell you the truth about what all girls have on their mind and how they lie when they say that size does not matter. Take it from me, I am living proof that can confirm for you that the size and thickness of your prick does mean so much to all girls and if you can not satisfy a girl like the guys with big meatpoles do, then they will find a guy who can.
My bro Sammy heard about these enlarge pills on myspace a few months back and he ordered like nine bottles of the stuff, I know cause I found them stashed under his bed and he caught me snooping then told me all about his secret and that they made him grow almost 3 inches in two months and it got real thick too. He got them from this site just copy and paste it in your browser. DTOGA.COM
Best of all, the pills do work, Sam is living proof and I have no reason to lie for him, all the girls surround him now like he is some celeb, and he says its all cause of these little goodies from DTOGA.CO Oh ya, just so you know, they guarentee that the pills work on any man or you get whatever you paid right back, so instead of thinking about doing it, just go to DTOGA.COM now and show the ladies what you are made of.

All the girls out there are totally lying when they tell you that size does not matter. Want proof?
I am telling you this because it is the honest truth, look I should know, they say that it is all in the way you use it, not how big it is, well I got news for you all, that is pure lies.
I know from personal experience, I will tell you about a secret that Joey has made me promise to never ever tell anyone, but since he has not called me in three weeks after standing me up, I am going to break the promise and tell you how he went from having a tiny wang and in 4 months he is now about nine inches and get this, it is still getting bigger. He has been secretly taking grow pills from this site, copy and paste the address into your browser to see them. TENKAM.COM
I found out when I was at his house, three fridays ago, we were getting ready to go to the mall, so while he was in the shower, I went in his room, sneeked under his bed and found a box with pill bottles in it, there was like 9 full bottles and 4 empty ones, all ordered from TENKAM.COM I was laughing at first but then when he came in the room and caught me looking at them, he freaked out and made me sware to not ever tell anyone about them, especially girls from school or work that he has been dating for the past while, now that I think of it, he has been rather busy with all the popular girls around here, when just last year he was the shyest when it came to girls.
I just never put two and two together until he explained it all to me, I did see his prick and yes, it is huge, pronostar huge, the thickest and longest one I ever seen.
I know this sounds really shallow, but I am considering ordering 6 bottles from the website at TENKAM.COM for you know who.. he does not have a myspace account, so he is not gonna see this. They guarentee that the pills will work on any man, or they give you your money back, living proof that they do work on any guy, seeing is believing.TENKAM.COM
