Noise Records is a German record company and label that specialized in thrash and melodic speed metal. It was founded in 1983 by Karl-Ulrich Walterbach as an expansion of his company, Modern Music Records. Throughout its active years between 1983 and 2007, Noise Records released music under different names such as Modern Music, Under One Flag, and Sanctuary.

In 2001, the label was sold to Sanctuary Records Group but unfortunately ceased all activity in 2007 due to Sanctuary's bankruptcy. However, in October of the same year, the entire Noise catalogue including the label itself was acquired by Universal Music Group.

Then in February 2013, BMG Rights Management signed an agreement to purchase the Noise catalog from Universal. As a result, Noise Records was relaunched with a different label code (LC 23251) in 2016 under BMG's ownership.

If the post-NWOBHM era threw up very little from the UK metal scene that could scare the world, then Sabbat were a shining, scarifying exception. From Nottingham, they were brave enough to ditch the cliches, and try a little experimentation and individuality in a music style that seemed, at that point, to be predicated on the obvious. After two well received demos, Kerrang! magazine coverage and a session on BBC Radio 1’s, Friday Rock Show they signed to Noise Records where they produced two landmark albums of their unique, Pagan thrash metal; History of A Time To Come (1988) and Dreamweaver (1988). The writing duo of vocalist and lyricist Martin Walkyier combined with the song-writing prowess of guitarist Andy Sneap (now a producer in his own right and guitarist in Judas Priest) were ahead of their time and created two of the most significant albums of the late 80’s. This box set contains both these seminal studio albums plus a recently found Radio 1 session that preceded them, unavailable since its original broadcast in 1987. Completing this collection is their historic performance at the Thrashing East Live concert in East Berlin from 1990, just as the iron curtain fell. It’s presented here on DVD for the first time and also as an album of the show which is released in its entirety for the first time, including songs left off the DVD. This is all finished up with a double sided poster and book containing all of Martin Walkyier’s eloquent lyrics from these songs.
