Writing Credits

Final credits are unknown, but it’s assumed it will be some input from all of them at varying degrees

This will be the first studio album under the banner of Black Sabbath since 1978, and the first official “Black Sabbath” studio album since 1995 (although you could make a case for 2008′s “The Devil You Know”. The last time this incarnation of the band released anything, it was 1998′s “Reunion” album.
This was formally announced at a well publicized press conference at the Whisky a Go-Go in Los Angeles, CA on Nov 11, 2011 (@ 11:11AM PST).
This album was said to not be including any of the songs or work from the last attempt at a Mk I reunion album in 2001.
At the 11-11-11 press conference, Geezer Butler said that the new material “sounds like the old Sabbath style and sound”.
The work sessions for this album that were scheduled for January 2012 were to happen in Los Angeles. Due to Tony Iommi’s cancer diagnosis late in 2011, said work sessions were moved to Tony’s home studio in England.
