I've heard it, it's awesome. I don't even know all the Sabbath tunes but the sound is v. nice. Like Gregorian chant but more lush, & then the melodies.

Heh, I believe t//t was telling me about this the other day...

please tell me one of these is "N.I.B."

So sorry, Curt1s. These are the English titles (finally I get to use my catholic school Latin!):

War Pigs
Eyes of the Junior (Junior's Eyes)
A National Acrobat
Symptom (?) Of The Universe
Behind The Wall Of Sleep
After Forever
The Magician (The Wizard, I assume)
Solitude
Wheels Of Confusion
Planet Caravan
Hard Road
Spiral Architect

I may have translated some of these incorrectly, but no "N.I.B.", I'm afraid. I haven't heard the Sabbath covers record, but I saw these guys in Estonia performing medieval material and they are GREAT -- such beautiful textures and voices! I may have to pick this one up.

The concept behind this is reminiscent of another record that I heard by a group called Apocalyptica -- they do Metallica pieces as a string quartet. I think that the group is Finnish. -- must be something in the water up there.

Whoah!? - when and where, Nom De?
I've also seen'n'heard them perform their, um, more regular repertoire, as a three piece. Was good, too.

er...i think Apocalyptica are bloody awful. they were always on russian mtv, and i gotta say, i wasnt in to that. this sounds better though.

Sabbatum is the poo! I played this for my dad around Xmas time and about ten minutes in he reckognizes a riff and starts air-guitaring like Beavis outta control.

t\'\'t -- saw them in Tallinn a few years ago when I was visiting. It was in a church in the old town and they made me feel like I'd travelled back in time a few centuries.

It was a good summer for music-- I also saw a concert in the same church of Veljo Tormas choral music -- anyone into old-world-sounding eerie music should check out his "Curse on Wrought Iron" piece if you can find a recording of it.
