'''Sabbat''' where active from 1985, through the eighties, and in-spite of the loss of '''Martin Walkyier''' and '''Simon Jones''' stayed together until 1991, finally splitting after the release of their third album '''''Mourning has broken'''''. '''Martin Walkyier''' planned to reform the band in 2001 but without support of former members '''Andy Sneap''' and '''Simon Negus''' was unable to use the name '''Sabbat''', instead performed in 2001 - 2003 as '''Return to the Sabbat'''. The band officially reformed with '''Andy''' and '''Simon''' in 2006 to support '''Cradle of Filth''' on a UK tour and are still performing live in Europe today
