The song “Changes” from the Vol 4 album in 1972 was a turning point. It was a slow, ballady song, something that the band had not done up to that point. The band (in its 1995 incarnation) brought it back live at a gig in Tokyo, but has mostly remained unplayed since that time. […]
Black Sabbath – Methademic Man
December 12, 2013 by
Check this out! A 20 minute video review / film / photo gallery as taken by one of the photographers (Gustavo Vara) who you see in the front row early on in the show. Very VERY cool – one of the more unique things like this I’ve seen. It’s hard to know what to […]
Santiago Dufour Strikes Again
October 15, 2013 by
If you’ve been a fan of my site for some time now, then you’ve probably seen art by Santiago Dufour before. He’s an artist from Argentina who does all kinds of drawings for many different musicians. But he’s done several on Black Sabbath/Heaven & Hell. Today I discovered he’d done a new one for the […]
Gathered in Their Masses Details
October 4, 2013 by
A few weeks ago, it was announced that there will be a live DVD/Blu-Ray from the current Black Sabbath 13 tour. This should come as NO SURPRISE to anyone, honestly. What I am a little surprised about is that it is from the Australian tour earlier in the year. I would have […]
An evening with BLACK SABBATH in Tinley Park
August 31, 2013 by
Here’s a guest post by Sabbath fan Joel Roza talking about his experience seeing Sabbath in Tinley Park (Chicago), Illionis. It was such a good post, I thought I’d promote it up here, since this site is supposed to be about Sabbath fans, not just “my voice”. Check it out:
Tony Martin IRS Era Deluxe Editions
August 24, 2013 by
Back on June 29, 2009, Universal started releasing Deluxe Editions/remasters of the Black Sabbath catalogue, starting with the original album in 1970. They worked through the discography, and released all the studio albums up through “The Eternal Idol” (plus Dehumanizer). The final release in the series was Born Again, which was released on May […]
Happy 30th, Born Again!
August 8, 2013 by
Today is August 7, 2013 (Well it was when I started writing this, it got too long, and it came out on August 8th). Thirty years ago today was the original release of one of the more polarizing albums in the history of Black Sabbath, that being Born Again. I was a recent Black […]
Austin TX July 27 Concert Review
July 30, 2013 by
So Black Sabbath is touring again. That’s not an entirely unique situation, they’ve been touring on and off since 1997 through 2013, some with Ozzy, some with Dio (yeah yeah, I know about the name thing – shut up). What is unique is that this tour is to support a new album. The Devil […]
Amazon.com Black Sabbath Sale
June 18, 2013 by
Noticed this morning that several Black Sabbath CD’s are on sale at Amazon.com. Given it’s an internet sale, there’s been a rush on them, and some might not be in stock at the moment, but Amazon is still taking orders at the discounted price. So if you need a new copy, or just want another […]
Cool 13 posters
June 16, 2013 by
I got an email with some really cool looking photos of a slick 13 promotion. This is more a thing around Europe than here in the States where I am. In Europe I always see pictures of band posters on the walls in public. Don’t nearly see that as much here, but I’m familiar […]
