"I love your translations of the Sabbath songs. I feel you've taken the music to a whole new place. Full of surprises. I find your renditions very interesting and excellently played. You have a great sound."
 
-- Bill Ward

“Sabbatum” is a tribute album like no other – 12 Black Sabbath classic songs played by early music band Rondellus and sung in Latin language.

Can You imagine what Black Sabbath would have sounded like if Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward would have formed the band in the 14th century? Would “War Pigs” or “The Wizard” have been as powerful if played on medieval instruments like lute, fiddle and harp?

Curious? So was Rondellus, the renowned Estonian medieval music band. They took 12 Black Sabbath classics and turned them into something totally unheard.

You don’t have to take history lessons to get the feeling. It’s all on the new CD Rondellus recorded – “Sabbatum”. An amazing collection of Black Sabbath tunes played on medieval instruments and sung in Latin language.

 
“Sabbatum” – the most unique sounding Black Sabbath tribute album.

You’ve probably heard all the Black Sabbath cover albums. Perhaps both “Nativity in Black” compilations are in Your CD box right now. Great records, aren’t they?

But “Sabbatum” takes a closer look at all these classic Black Sabbath songs in a way it’s never been done before. The angle is so differrent that You better prepare Yourself for a big surprise, a positively shocking one.

“Sabbatum” takes You on a trip. It acts like a time machine. In a single moment You will find Yourself attending a Black Sabbath show during the 14th century. You will be in a medieval cathedral where time stands still. Just You and thousands of fellow kings and queens, knights and ladies. And the tunes that made heavy metal – classic songs by Black Sabbath.

 

So how do they sound? Glad You asked!

"Few records recorded in tribute can be considered true artistic triumphs; in fact “Sabbatum” is for my ears the first. I can only hope that someone on the Grammy nomination committee finds a copy of the disc so that it might be given the recognition that it so eminently deserves."

"I just finished listening to "Sabbatum" and I'm still smiling. I'm going to have to go back and find the originals sometime soon as I no longer have the vinyl like I once did and want to compare the songs. I'm afraid some don't stand out in my memory - it's been so long since last I heard them, but still, I thought the album throughly marvelous. Well done say I!"

"At last a genuinely new approach to Sabbath music. What really makes this project work is that it has been performed/recorded by musicians who obviously take their art very seriously, but at the same time do not feel restricted by conventions. Also, the translating of the lyrics into latin certainly adds to the feel of the songs. All in all thoroughly enjoyable listening."
