http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=58037Long-defunct British thrashers SABBAT will reunite to support CRADLE OF FILTH on their upcoming U.K. tour in December. The reunion came about "due to many a conversation with Dani [Filth, CRADLE frontman] and Paul [Allender, COF guitarist] whilst mixing the [new] CRADLE album," SABBAT guitarist-turned-producer Andy "Undie" Sneap told BLABBERMOUTH.NET. "It was put to us that they'd love to see it happen (Dani still has his stolen copy of 'Dreamweaver' [1989] on cassette), and the more we've talked about it, it just seemed like opening for CRADLE on these shows would be a great way of getting the five of us together again for a bit of fun. It's not a long-term thing, [and we don't have] any delusions about the future — [it's] just a chance to play some of the old songs and have a blast."
SABBAT 2006 reunion lineup (same as that on 1989's "Dreamweaver"):
Martin Walkyier - Vocals
Andy Sneap - Guitar
Simon Jones - Guitar
Fraser Craske - Bass
Simon Negus - Drums
Says Sneap: "We just have to try and remember the songs, but we've had three rehearsals already and it sounds great."
Exact cities and dates will be announced soon.
I think this is the best news of the year, except for the fact that Sabbat are supporting Cradle Of Filth, but hey, no one has to stay after Sabbat finish up
