Sabbat - Sabbatical Possessitic Hammer
Review by Roda Langrana
Sabbatical Possessitic Hammer by Sabbat is a great album that showcases the band's talent and creativity. The album features a mix of black and thrash metal, which creates a unique sound that is both aggressive and melodic. The guitar work is outstanding, with fast riffs and intricate solos that will leave listeners in awe. The drumming is also impressive, with complex rhythms and lightning-fast double bass drumming. The vocals are harsh and aggressive, adding to the overall intensity of the album. The production is solid, with each instrument being heard clearly in the mix. The album is a must-listen for fans of black and thrash metal, as well as those who appreciate great musicianship and songwriting. Sabbatical Possessitic Hammer is a fantastic album that showcases Sabbat's talent and dedication to their craft.
