"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!

"For many years, I have been a fan of early music as well as heavy rock, and it is fascinating to hear a professional early music ensemble interpret Black Sabbath. The Rondellus arrangements sound very natural -- the power and melody of the original tunes come through clearly, yet in a totally fresh and unexpected way."

"I've had the Sabbatum CD for a couple of weeks now, and I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy it. I studied the Middle Ages in university, and I've been a big Sabbath fan for years, and the music of Rondellus really does satisfy on several levels."

""Sabbatum" is the best Black Sabbath cover album that has ever been released! The atmosphere Rondellus is creating is almost indescribable - this is definitely musical art in its first sense. No other cover album has such an intensity shrouded in this ageless sacral spirit."
- Wolf Hoffmann,
