A special live document capturing the raw power of Japan’s legendary black/thrash metal band Sabbat is the focus for this entry. We are looking at the CD album “Live Sabbatical Hamaguri Queen,” released in the US by Nuclear War Now! Productions around 2004/2005 with the catalog number ANTI-GOTH 030.
Licensed from Sabbat’s own Evil Records in Japan, this CD is not just a single concert but a compilation documenting three distinct live rituals, likely from a 2004 tour:
Tracks 1-6 were recorded live at Rockets in Osaka. Tracks 7-11 were recorded live at Huck Finn in Nagoya. Tracks 12-17 were recorded live at Urga in Tokyo.This “live sabbatical” showcases the core band (Gezol, Temis, Zorugelion) but is particularly notable for featuring a wide array of guest and alternate musicians across the different shows. Performers like Haruomageddon, Oozekintama, Matsueviler, Ishidamian, and Samm contribute to various tracks, making this a unique snapshot of the band’s extended musical family.
The 17-track album delivers a sprawling setlist of Sabbat’s signature raw black metal, including classics like “Envenom Into Witches Hole,” “Evil Nations,” “Black Fire,” “Satan Bless You,” “Hell Fire,” and “Crest Of Satan.” It stands as an essential document of the band’s ferocious live energy.
