Happy Birthday Tony Martin!

      A lot of Black Sabbath sites/pages talk about the time with Ozzy Osbourne. Most of them talk about the Ronnie James Dio era, too. It’s very few that talk about the Tony Martin era, let alone celebrate it. Not this place. I’m a fan of the Tony Martin era of the band. Despite […]

Guitar Hero 5 Black Sabbath Giveaway

Back in January, I announced that three master tracks of Black Sabbath’s (After Forever, Sweet Leaf, & Into the Void) were going to be released for the Guitar Hero 5 game back in February. That didn’t happen (for reasons I never found out), but I’m writing to say that the tracks will now be released […]

New Ozzy Single – “Let Me Hear You Scream”

Christian Band Stryper to cover Black Sabbath

Saw this morning (oddly enough as I was getting ready for Church myself) a story that surprised me a little. The Christian metal band Stryper’s new album will be an album of covers. That kind of thing has been done a few times before, most recently Queensryche’s album of covers “Take Cover“, where they covered […]
