Zgodovina skupine se prične v letu 1994 pod imenom CATACOMB. Člani prvotne zasedbe so bili: David Kupčič, Boštjan Temlin, Aleš Šketa in Milko Kraner. V začetku 1996 skupino zapusti Boštjan, ki ga kmalu nadomesti Tadej Predan. Zasedba postane dokončna poleti 1997, s prihodom klaviaturistke Vesne Kupčič. V tem času (1997) skupina tudi dokončno spremeni svoje ime v SABAIUM in potovanje skozi temačnost se prične. Od svojih začetkov je skupina igrala na mnogih koncertih po Sloveniji in tudi v tujini. Skupina je tudi igrala na kar nekaj pomembnih festivalih v Sloveniji in tudi tujini (Metal Camp 2004, Metal Camp 2007, Summer Nights Fest 2008, Metal Mania 2004, Metal Mania 2002, Rock Otočec 1999, Fuck of Commercial 1999, Metal Fest 1998 Kranj, Metal Koroška 2000…). V letu 1999 pod okriljem italijanske založbe Seven Art Music skupina izdata svoj CD prevenec »EMBRACED WITH SILENCE«. V tem času Sabaium postanejo ena od vodilnih skupin na slovenski metalski sceni. V začetku januarja 2002 se je skupina razšla z ritem kitaristom Tadejem zaradi različnih pogledov glede nadaljnega dela skupine. Jeseni 2002, skupina v samozaložbi izda drugi album pod imenom »Beyond«, ter posname tudi prvi videospot za komad »Tiha pesem« (tudi kot media file na tem albumu). V letu 2003 se pričnejo notranje težave v skupini. Konstantno upadanje kreativnosti, različni pogledi privede jo skupino skoraj do prenehanja delovanja. Kot ironija se vse to dogaja na jubilejno 10-letnico delovanja skupine. Končna manifestacija krize v skupini se odrazi v juniju 2004, ko se skupina razide z bobnarjem Milkom, ki je v preteklosti bil eden od ključnih članov razvoja skupine. Končen propad ni bil nikdar bližje. Na srečo je preostala trojka našla dovolj moči in poguma, da je pričela z obredom obnovitve skupine. Prva faza se uspešno zaključeni s prihodom Jureta Hadlerja, ki prevzame bobne. Misija ponovnega rojstva je zaključena s prihodom Leona Svilarja, ki ojača oddelek kitar. Spomladi 2006, skupina izda svoj tretji album pod naslovom Gravity Divine, ki predstavlja nov mejnik v ustvarjanju skupine. Junija 2006 skupino zapusti kitarist Leon, ki ga pa hitro zamenja Jure Vandur. Jeseni 2007 Sabaium, kot spremljevalna skupina legendarni slovenski skupini Interceptor, uspešno izvede slovensko turnejo. V letu 2008 Sabaium delajo predvsem na novem materialu, ki pa se zaradi prostorskih težav in službenih obveznosti članov skupine, razvleče v leto 2009. Poleti 2009 se zgodovina ponovi, ko se skupini kot glavni vokalist pridruži nekdanji član Milko Kraner. Ojačani z novim, a že dobro poznanim članom, Sabaium obljubljajo novo dozo kreativnosti in preobrat v svoji glasbeni usmeritvi. Skupina trenutno dela na vokalih za nov četri album, ki se bo po pričakovanjih pričel snemati proti koncu leta 2009.

History of the band starts in 1994 under name CATACOMB. Original founding members were: David Kupčič, Botjan Temlin, Aleš Šketa and Milko Kraner. In the begining of 1996, Boštjan left the band and was replaced by Tadej Predan. In the summer 1997, David..s sister Vesna join the band as keyboardist. At this time band ultimately changed its name into Sabaium and journey into darkness finally begun. Sabaium played on several gigs in Slovenia and abroad. They appeared on several important festivals in Slovenia (Metal Camp 2004, Metal Camp 2007, Summer Nights Fest 2008, Metal Mania 2004, Metal Mania 2002, Rock Otočec 1999, Fuck of Commercial 1999, Metal Fest 1998 Kranj, Metal Koroška 2000, ...) and on music shows on the Slovenian national television. In the beginning of 1999 Sabaium released their debut album called Embraced with silence. In this period Sabaium become one of the leading acts in Slovenian metal scene. In January 2002 band split up with guitarist Tadej. In autumn 2002 second album called Beyond was released. At the same time first video clip was recorded for song Tiha pesem (and added to the album as video file). In year 2003 band is facing great inner problems. Constant decline of creativity and different views almost brought Sabaium to its end at its very own decade of existence. Final manifestation happened in June 2004 when band split up with drummer Milko, who used to be important driving force in Sabaium past. Final oblivion seemed never so close. Fortunately, there was enough power in Sabaium remains to start the ritual of re-birth. First phase successfully ended with Jure Hadler joining on drums. The mission of Sabaium re-birth was accomplished with Leon joining on guitar section. In spring 2006 band release their 3rd album Gravity Divine, which represents a new milestone in band..s creativity and music direction. In June 2006, guitarist Leon leaves the band and soon being replaced by Jure Vandur. Sabaium had in fall 2007 a very successful Slovenian tour a supporting act of Slovenian legendary band Interceptor. In year 2008 band mainly worked on new material, which has been eventually extended into year 2009 due to rehearsal place problems and job obligations of band members. In summer 2009 history repeated by Milko coming back to Sabaium on lead clean vocals. Enforced with new/old band member and extensive dose of creativity, another turn in bands music direction can be expected… Band is currently working on vocals material for their fourth album to be recorded later in the fall 2009.
