A month ago or so, I ran a contest asking you, the Black Sabbath fan to come up with your own rendition of the cover art for the new disc, “The Devil You Know”. I ran it before the official cover art was released, as I didn’t want the real art to influence what people […]
Devil You Know Video & 2 Disc Stuff
Well, there’s been a lot of talk about it, and finally there’s something that can be told. There will be a version of The Devil You Know with a second disc. A poorly kept secret, mind you, but one that hasn’t been formally announced in the US yet. Rhino doesn’t have a press release on […]

Heaven & Hell now on Twitter
I just got word from Rhino records that Heaven & Hell is now on Twitter! I’ve been told that this really is the band, and that the first updates are from Ronnie. I was also told Tony & Geezer are going to get into it too. Knowing Geezer’s penchant for goofiness, it wouldn’t surprise me […]

Given the albums cover from 1970-1987, this is the old European distribution stuff, the […]
The Devil You Know on Roadrunner in Europe
I’ve gotten a lot of emails (nee complaints) from fans in Europe wanting to know what’s going on with distribution of “The Devil You Know”. Amazon UK’s site has had it for sale, but only as an import. I just got word less than 10 minutes before posting this that the deal for Europe has […]

Selling some of my merchandise stash
Hey gang. As some of you may know, my wife and I are going to be welcoming our second child, and my first son into the world this June. To that, I’m having to clean out my home office, as this will become the kid’s room. Some of the stuff I’ve been sitting on for […]
