==History== ===Beginnings and first album (1983–91)=== Kabát was formed as a thrash metal band in Teplice in 1983 by bass guitarist Milan Špalek and guitarist Tomáš Krulich. Drummer Radek "Hurvajs" Hurčík and singer Josef Vojtek joined the band soon after. The group went on a three-year hiatus in 1985 as some of its members had to perform military service. They reformed in 1989, this time with Jiří Bušek and René Horňák on guitars. The two didn't last long with Kabát and were replaced in 1990 by new guitarist Ota Váňa and the returning Tomáš Krulich. The band's lineup has remained the same to the present day.
