Review by Moses Colón

Hosanna In Excelsis, the fourth studio album by the Japanese black/thrash metal band Sabbat, is a true masterpiece of extreme metal. The album, released in 1993, features ten tracks of blistering speed, savage riffs, and demonic vocals that will leave any metalhead breathless.

From the opening track, "The Beginning of the End," Sabbat sets the tone for the entire album with a relentless assault of thrashy riffs and lightning-fast drumming. The title track, "Hosanna In Excelsis," is a standout, with its epic chorus and memorable guitar solos.

Throughout the album, Sabbat's musicianship is top-notch, with guitarist Temis Osmond and drummer Zorugelion delivering some truly awe-inspiring performances. Vocalist Gezolucifer's demonic growls and screams add to the dark and aggressive atmosphere of the album.

One of the album's highlights is the instrumental track "Mion's Hill," which showcases Sabbat's ability to create haunting melodies and atmospheric soundscapes. The album also features a cover of Venom's "Bloodlust," which the band makes their own with their unique style and energy.

Summary by Moses Colón

Hosanna In Excelsis is a must-have for fans of extreme metal. Sabbat's combination of black and thrash metal, along with their technical prowess and dark lyrical themes, make this album a true classic of the genre.
