Country: Switzerland

1. Intro 01:30
2. Einsamkeit 05:34
3. The Unborn Dawn 03:27

Sabaism started playing music together in 1993 under the name Cromnom.
They wrote a lot of songs but never recorded one.
After changing the name to Sabaism at the end of 1994 they featured new members
who had been involved in the metal scene since 1989.
Sabaism always had been looking for a new drummer able to play very fast and aggressive music.
After the old drummer and both guitarists left the band, the line-up finally was completed in 1995 with: 
Marco (Vocals ex-Damnatory), Alessandra (Bass Mors Amara),
T.Hades (Guitars ex-Azrael) and Chris H. (Drums ex-Sickening Gore).
With this line-up three tracks that were written by Alessandra were re-arranged at the end of 1995 by Sabaism.
In February 1996 Sabaism entered the famous Artag-Studio (Celtic Frost, Sadness, Coroner etc.)
and recorded 3 tracks for a limited to 30 hand numbered copies Promo tape.
The Promo was entitled "The Unborn Dawn" and included an Intro by the Anima Nostra Team.
Later in 1998 the Promo was re-released as a MCD.
