Sabbat is a Japanese metal band that blends black metal and thrash metal elements. The group was formed in 1983 and remains a relatively obscure act within the broader extreme‑metal scene. Their most widely documented release is the full‑length album *Evoke*, issued in 1992. Apart from this record, publicly available information about the band’s output and activities is limited.
The band originated in Japan in 1983, emerging during a period when the Japanese underground was beginning to explore more extreme styles of metal. Specific details about the founding members, early rehearsals, or the circumstances that led to the creation of *Evoke* have not been recorded in the supplied sources.
Sabbat is classified as a black/thrash metal band, indicating a sound that combines the raw aggression and speed of thrash with the darker atmospheres and vocal styles typical of black metal. Without explicit statements from the band or critics, any further identification of particular influences (e.g., specific European or Japanese acts) would be speculative.
