Artist: SADIST
Album: TRIBE RE-RELEASE (CD)

Year: 1996/ 2006
Media type: CD

While the reissue of their debut album "Above the Light" is out since very few weeks, we have now released the second gem "Tribe" with original artwork and some surprises inside (most of all an Iron Maiden cover!). SADIST are now massively working on their new material and, from what we already heard, we can consider it as absolutely the most blasting and smashing ever composed! The band is now totally focused on the sonorities of their first three albums (obviously revised for the new century) and the future seems to be very exiting! They are now ready to come back on stage starting from the upcoming Summer (the main event is the EVOLUTION FESTIVAL, sharing the stage with Atheist, Death Angel, Dark Tranquillity, Within Temptation, Amon Amarth, Annihilator, Cradle of Filth and many more!). In the meantime we want to thanks all the new and long-date worldwide fans of the band who acclaimed with great enthusiasm their come-back, which obtained also a massive feedback by all the relevant metal press.

BIO:
Previously known as NECRODEATH and formed in 1991, under the original monicker the Italians released the 'Into The Macabre' record before switching to the SADIST handle and promptly coming up with the 'Black Screams' 7" single for Italian label Obscure Plasma. The single sold around 2'500 copies, but following its release original vocalist Fabio quit and thus bassist Andy took over singing duties. 

After touring through Italy, Portugal and France SADIST signed to Nosferatu Records and recorded the 'Above The Light' debut album before a parting of the ways occurred with Andy and SADIST drafted in vocalist Zanna and bassist Chicco. Both appeared on the 'Tribe' album prior to SADIST reuniting with Andy. 'Tribe' was recorded in England at the Rhythm Studio.

Guitarist Tommy Talamanca produced the debut album from extreme Death Metal band NATRON in 1998. SADIST latterly pulled in former THY NATURE and NODE drummer Oinos for session work. 

Tommy Talamanca would act as producer for INFECTION CODE's 2004 album 'Sterile', this opus also seeing Trevor acting as studio guest. In 2005 the SADIST legacy was given a boost when label Beyond Productions announced they were to issue re-mastered variants of the band's first two albums. 'Above The Light', re-issued in December, added two bonus tracks.
