Episode 3: Keeping the Sabbath Spirit Alive with Andy Sayers from Sabbotage
This week on Fake It Out Loud, Sarah sits down with Andy Sayers from Sabbotage, the UK’s most dedicated tribute to the godfathers of heavy metal: Black Sabbath.
Formed from the ashes of Snowblind back in 2014, Sabbotage has spent over a decade channelling the raw power, haunting riffs, and dark magic of Sabbath’s legendary catalogue — and they’re not slowing down anytime soon.
In this episode:
- What it takes to honor a legacy like Sabbath’s
- Winning over the most passionate (and picky) fanbase in metal
- Life on the road — gig day routines, gear hauls, and the chaos backstage
- The promoter problem: when it goes right… and when it definitely doesn’t
- A lightning round of Shred Showdown
