Music style and lyrics
Sabbat's riffs are influenced by the New Wave of British Heavy Metal , the style, according to Götz Kühnemund, of German Rock Hard "much less Venom- heavy" than on earlier works. Still, Sabbath continued to be compared to Venom. The vocals alternate between growls , screeches and clear vocals, occasionally into falsetto, and have been compared to that of Schmier on the early Destruction releases.
reception
Kühnemund described Satanasword as "an old school board [...] that should especially inspire early thrashers". “The enormous joy of playing that can be heard here at any time, and the cult factor based on their Japanese origins, make SABBAT one of the most likeable underground bands on the scene and make up for many a weakness in songwriting. There are only two options here: Either you smile at SABBAT - or you like them. ”He and Larry“ Fuzz-O ”Dolman from Blastitude praised the band's independence. Vorfeed.net called the album almost perfect metal; on the album all "elements of Sabbat's art" are represented: "great riffing, unbelievable solos with not a single hint of wanking, and the singing - the singing [...] they are excellent". It is "one of those rare releases that every metal fan will probably like, really something for everyone".
