This morning my inbox exploded with people telling me about a story going around that Black Sabbath is going to start recording a new album in 2015. Lets look at that, eh?

A week ago or so, I got word that there was to be a new Ozzy compilation called “Memoirs of a Madman”. This will be a single CD audio greatest hits album and a 2 DVD package. Both containing separate material. This post will detail what’s going on with them.

There’s an upcoming drum clinic featuring former Ozzy band drummer Carmine Appice, and former Black Sabbath drummer Vinny Appice. Thought some might be interested in it, so I’m passing along the details from a press release that made its way to me the other day. Check it out:

Tonight I’m bringing you a site exclusive. This past weekend, Bill Ward held his Absence of Corners art gallery show in Anapolis, MD. To that, my friend Damian (who does a lot of the work on the forums here) interviewed Bill. Last night I posted a sneak peek of the audio, and tonight I’m […]
