This Christmas season brings us a new release entitled “We Wish You a Metal Xmas & a Headbanging New Year”. In a similar vein to the Twisted Sister Christmas album from a couple of years ago, this album features a boatload of big names doing fairly traditional Christmas songs. Since you’re reading this on a […]
Bev Bevan’s Black Sabbath Diaries
November 19, 2008 by
Hey gang. Haven’t been around much, as I’ve been recovering from surgery. I’m working my way out of it again, and am starting to push against the giant ball that has become my backlog here. I should have a good proper update shortly, but I saw a good link today I didn’t want to let […]
My recovery
October 31, 2008 by
Thanks to those who have emailed me about my recovery. I had surgery a week ago to remove a rather large (four inch) cyst from the tibia bone in my lower left leg. I’ve been ordered off my feet for two weeks (of which one has passed), and as such I’ve been avoiding most of […]
Where I’ve been Part II
October 10, 2008 by
Five days ago I posted a message here saying that I’ve been tied up with my company’s product release. That was true, but right after I posted that message, I found out I will be having surgery in slightly less than two weeks for a problem with a bone right under my knee (not under […]
New Tony Martin Album
October 5, 2008 by
Caught this news this morning over at Blabbermouth about a new Tony Martin album… Tony Martin has tapped Tom Galley of Phenomena fame to produce his next solo album, “Book of Shadows”, tentatively due next year. Martin states, “It’s great to have Tom on board especially since he is getting over the death of his […]
Where I’ve been
October 5, 2008 by
Since the tour ended, I’ve been away from the site (email and forums too). That has been because my company released a new (well, sort of new) game. I work for a game company, and I was heavily involved in a release. This is the Xbox LIVE Arcade release of Duke Nukem 3D. If you […]
Dio Era Albums Individually
September 2, 2008 by
I got asked this a bunch when Rules of Hell came out, and now I can report that it’s true. The four Dio era Black Sabbath albums that constituted the Rules of Hell box set are being re-released individually. Heaven & Hell, Mob Rules, Live Evil, & Dehumanizer are all being released on their own […]
That 3 CD Paranoid Release Thing
September 2, 2008 by
I’ve been getting bombed with emails about “Hey, what about that 3CD Paranoid release? How come you’re not saying anything about that?” First off, let me say this. I know about it. I haven’t said anything about it yet for reasons I’m not prepared to discuss. Please stop sending me emails about it. I am […]
She’s Gone
August 22, 2008 by
From time to time I see cover versions of Black Sabbath songs crop up. Generally I give ’em a pass, but this one seemed more interesting (to me) than most. Check this out. It’s a cover of the “She’s Gone” song from Technical Ecstasy – but in Czech! Look at this video: Here’s what I […]
Tony Martin Update
August 15, 2008 by
Noticed a short Tony Martin update this morning, thought I’d pass it along. “I had hoped that I’d been doing more shows this year since I hooked up with a Canadian agent but it didn’t work out, so I’m going to be concentrating on a new album instead. I already have some things in mind […]
