Band biography
Sadist photo
The Italian death metal band Sadist was formed in 1991 when the former Necrodeath drummer Peso started auditioning musicians for a new project. In September they signed with the Italian company Obscure Plasma Records (later to become Avantgarde Music) for the release of a 7" EP which was to sell more than 2,500 copies worldwide. It was later re-released on tape with a bonus track by the American Wild Rags Records.

In the summer of 1993 Sadist played outside of Italy for the very first times, playing shows in both France and Portugal. A company called Nosferatu Records noticed the band and signed them to their label. A couple of albums for Nosferatu followed along with a couple of small European tours. In July 1996 the band recorded a second video-clip with producer Alessandro Amaducci, a video which got television support up to MTV and VIVA.

In November 1996 Sadist headlined Mindview's Belgian Metal Convention. After major line-up changes the band signed a new deal in May 1997 with the Dutch label Displeased Records for the release of a new album called "Crust". Yet another label switch took place as Sadist signed with the German label System Shock in the year 2000.

The band split up but a reunion was announced in early October 2005 with a new drummer called Alessio.
