Sabaoth was formed in Asuncion, Paraguay, in the beginning of 1993, with Norrack (drums), Zethyaz (guitar) and Paul (guitar). A little later Paul left, and then entered Zethineph in vocals and keyboards. They released two demos "Dentro del Culto" (1993) and "Southern Twilight" (1994), whih helped to establish their personality, based around an imaginative black metal. The second tape reached rave reviews worldwide, and it was spread in great quantities.
Such auspicious recording led contract with the Argentina based label Stormsouls, and in November 1995 they recorded the selftitled debut CD. Slightly influences from gothic wave and atmospheric passages around the intense black metal core, were the reasons why countless magazines around the world praised "Sabaoth" as one of the masterpieces of the south American gothic/black metal scene.
In May ´96 Sabaoth played in a festival in Buenos Aires, Argentina, as second band just before the legend Sarcofago. Again, the band received excellent reviews, by both press and audience. While they started to prepare new song, through the new label Icarus it was released "Shield of Leaves", the debut CD of Eyesight, solo project of Zethyaz, which is constructed around acoustic song, with Zethyaz playing all instruments and singing.
After some line-up changes (Zetineph left to play in another black metal band of his country, Diabolical), the rest decided to continue as a duo, in 1999 Sabaoth satrted the recording sessions of the second album. Free from any styles restriction, "Windjourney" is a melt of gothic and pop-oriented melodies, yet with that black metal vibe. This shows the maturity of both musicians Zethyas (in change of the vocals in this opportunity), and The N (Norrack) playing also Keyboards. Together thay have created "Windjourney" as an estimulating journey within the imagination.
