A very interesting piece of video cropped up today in my inbox, I wanted to share it immediately. As you might remember, 1987 was a very turbulent year in the band’s history. The album that came out that year (The Eternal Idol) turned out to be a quite solid release, despite it’s gestational nightmare. In […]

October 31, 2012 by 23 Comments
Read last night where Black Sabbath is supposed to announce 2013 tour dates for Australia. It’s been awhile since Sabbath has been there. A quick check of the official sites doesn’t show anything, but the news comes from Live Nation, the promoter down there, so it’s likely happening. Still, having said that, remember […]

A few weeks ago I was contacted by Gene Kirkland, a photographer by trade about a new project he was involved in. It’s his new “Rock & Roll By the Pint” series of glasses. At first, I thought “eh”, it’s just a glass. But then when he said he’d send me a couple, I […]

Biohazard’s After Forever
August 22, 2012 by 28 Comments
Back in 1971, Black Sabbath released their third album, Master of Reality. On that album is one of the more unusual songs in the band’s entire recorded catalogue, that being “After Forever”. After Forever is interesting, because in all the songs that Sabbath has recorded, it’s the only released one that has lyrics that are […]
