Ozzy Osbourne is hailing the forthcoming Black Sabbath reunion project as a return to form for the band, which hadn't produced a studio effort with him since 1978.
Last month, Black Sabbath announced that their long-awaited album '13' would be released on June 11. Today (April 4) they revealed the cover art, as well as a 27-second clip of the music within (embedded below).
Armenian rockers Dorians will take the Tony Iommi-penned 'Lonely Planet' to the Eurovision Song Contest in May. The song's music video -- along with videos for the other 38 entries -- has been made available to fans of the band, of Black Sabbath and the international song contest, now in its 58th year.
North American Black Sabbath fans have been waiting a long time to see the band return to our many fine arenas, and their patience will soon be rewarded.
After much speculation, Black Sabbath have finally announced the release date for '13,' their new album. Today (March 13, fittingly), the band said that the record will come out in a variety of formats on June 11 in the U.S. and June 10 for the rest of the world.
For Geezer Butler, who was expecting to be joined by original drummer Bill Ward in the Black Sabbath rhythm section for the band's reunion, the arrival of Brad Wilk must have come as a bit of a shock. Luckily, it seems the drummer from Rage Against the Machine fit in just fine.
The unexpected death of Ten Years After's Alvin Lee left many of his peers offering tributes, condolences, and memories -- including Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi, who recently spoke about the way Lee helped Sabbath get a leg up during its early years.
A song called 'Lonely Planet' will represent the hopes of Armenians at the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest. Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi wrote the ballad, to be performed by Dorians when the annual contest begins on May 14 in Sweden.
Currently in the studio recording their highly-anticipated reunion album, heavy metal pioneers Black Sabbath have released a 25-minute video clip of the group's 1975 performance on 'Don Kirshner's Rock Concert' that reminds fans of just how great classic Sabbath really were.
Few bands would turn down having Tony Iommi backing them up, and soon more bands will get the chance. The Black Sabbath guitarist has a treasure trove of riffs laying around, unused, in his studio. Queen's Brian May has inspired Iommi to put them to good use.
After 35 years, countless comings and goings, multiple health scares, and at least one aborted reunion attempt, (most of) the classic Black Sabbath lineup is finally back together and ready for the world to hear some new music.
