SABATHENA is a Slovenian heavy metal band from Ljubljana. They were formed in 1991 by Dr.J, Babo and Tom. After some drummers and names changes, they finaly concluded the quest with Alex. As the guys would put it in words, the following could be summoned: We dreamed, made dreams alive. After collision with Alex, the twirl of SabaUniverse lapsed though void. The leapse line converged to a stand still, until The Path line has been discovered in 2011. The Path between the meadows of Aneh and the SabaUniverse was branded by SABATHENA and Tabas the Eternal, with the materialization of The Sign brand. It is now here and it will remain here until the end of times.

Birth (1991)
The story of SABATHENA had begun in the band Gomor, when to school mates decided to form a band. One of them recently changed the school, but still kept some contacts with former school mates. This resulted in a third member joining the band. As a trio they started rehearsing in a dump and dark cellar, where the first songs started taking form. The biggest problem was the drummer, which they searched in vain.

Conscious life of 1st stage (1991-1995)
After several attempts they finally joined forces as a quartet and then the story continued with a higher pace. The first year the band kept in underground and practised, write new material and planned the future steps. Through the underground metamorphosis the band renamed to Sorcery. The first public appearance of Sorcery happened in 1992, at the club called Palma in Ljubljana, where many new bands got their chance to show their work to general public. After the gig the host announced, that Sorcery will be playing at Križanke, where a a multi band event happened the week after. The band performed at the crowd of nearly 1000 people on their 2nd appearance. After the show, they had to change a rehearsal place and at thet time also changed the name to SABATHENA. Under this name they played all over Slovenia. In 1993 guys walked in the studio to record some demos. One of the songs also found its way to some radio stations.

Comatose Cryonic stage (1995-2011)
The band started their journey at difficult times. Slovenia was a new country, still shaken from the departure from Yugoslavia, just beginning the transition period. The economic situation resulted in guys getting the full time jobs, serving the army and finishing the college. The creative force thus had to give way to the Big Mean Green Machine.

Concsious life of 2nd stage (2011-)
The fate wanted, that Tom and Alex were crossed by some business needs and started waking to new impulses of their creativity. Later Tom ran into Dr.J, while he was supervising the broadcasting of a radio show, and the spark started to kindle. The three of them met and decided, that The Path should continue. They called up Marcco, who was a member of their road crew in the 1st stage to join them on the bass. Together they built a rehearsal place, which was also equipped with some studio gear, so they could record their own demo material. After some time, they again appeared on stage on 17th of April 2013. The creativity of SABATHENA not only reflects through music. The overall landscape creates an entire universe of creations thus the SabaUniverse philosophy has been created in order to materialise the web of creative potential. The SabaUniverse consists of songs, music, poems, books, virtual networks of real and fantasy stories and other artistic works. They are intended for the audience, that sees the art in every phenomenon in our environment. The worthy should follow The Path and wear The Sigh.
