SADISM – obscurans – CD

Death Metal – Hammerheart Records

Dominating Old School Death from Chile since 1988! Sadism started in 1988 in Santiago, Chile. Founded by the current members Juan Pablo Donoso and Ricardo Roberts, with the aim of achieving a true and passionate band influenced by the Thrash and Death metal tendencies of that time, styles that reflected their feeling about music. After their first live shows the motivation was big enough to work on the first studio records, the demos: “Perdition of Souls” (1989) and “From the Perpetual Dark” (1991) consolidating Sadism as one of the biggest Metal bands in their country. In 1992 the first album from Sadism called “Tribulated Bells” was released and it was considered one of the most important albums in their national scene and the first one of its kind in Chile. This album quickly became a “must have” for many metal fans worldwide and therefore a classic because of its its relevance. In the 1990’s Sadism toured Chile and other South American countries, and played many shows as support act to bands as Kreator, Sodom, Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse, among others. During the 2000’s , Sadism continued their activities and work, making music and recording albums, achieving one of their most important albums in 2014, “The Ocularis Domination” which was rated by the media in South America and Europe as one of South America’s best extreme Metal albums ever. With Their seventh album “Alliance” in 2015, Sadism realized and self-managed one of their ultimate goals; to carry out their first tour in Europe with renowned festivals and on prominent metal stages, which they continue to do until now. Sadism considers it a milestone in their career to reach album #10, entitled “Obscurans” that will certainly mark a new stage in the band’s 33 years of non-stop activity. “Obscurans” is the creation of a work process that started in July 2022, until the album was finished in the studio in February 2023.
