Sabazius formed in June 2006 as a studio two piece intending to continue the work Steve Patton and Neville Taylor had previously undertaken in earlier bands and projects.

Within a few weeks they had completed a demo featuring one track, Terror Is Thy Name, that was distributed free by request online in 2007 as a CD-R, and of which around 70 copies were made and sent out.

After that, they completed their first eponymous album and began working on subsequent EPs. The album was released as a free download in 2008, and over the following two years five new tracks were also released either as a physical limited ed. CD, individual downloads or as downloadable split EPs with other artists.

In 2009, the band released their second album, Devotional Songs, followed by two drone tracks in 2009 and 2010 as free download split EPs, and another physical limited ed. CD release, Eighty Days and Four.

After a year hiatus to undertake another project, the band completed previously unfinished songs and released two mini-albums in 2012, The Watchers and Parousia, and a limited ed. CD split EP with Hesper Payne.

In late 2012, they signed a contract with Earache Records and in 2013 released the 11-hour ‘live’ song The Descent of Man.
