As you probably know, there were several remasters released in 2009 from Sanctuary/Universal records in the UK. These were based off the original UK set of album masters (as opposed to the US/Warner set which resulted in Black Box & Rules of Hell). The first three Sabbath albums were released in multi disc format with […]

January 28, 2010 by
Caught today on one of my game news sites that the game Guitar Hero 5 will get some Black Sabbath songs as downloadable content. This is a first for Black Sabbath in that these will be original master recordings. Black Sabbath did have some songs in the past in the original Rock Band, but they […]

Various Things
November 7, 2009 by
Well, several things have happened since the last time I updated. I’m still deep in unemployment, unfortunately, and that’s kind of sapped my desire to the work on the site. In turn, that’s taken a hit on me, as ad revenue is down, and I really need that now, more than ever. So click on […]

Now that the Heaven & Hell tour is over, and we await whatever happens after Tony’s surgery, now’s the time to get in on some deals. The Rhino website is having a 50% off sale on some Heaven & Hell merchandise. I’m told the sale is only running for a week, so if you’re interested, […]
Black Sabbath – The Unholy Trinity And The Birth Of Heavy Metal

As regular followers of my site know by now, I’ve been out of it most of the summer due to real life. I’m trying to plow through my backlog, and found this article written back in July by John Doran for the UK music site “The Quietus”. It’s not your usual take on Black Sabbath’s […]

The 2009 “The Devil You Know” tour is over now. As you probably have heard by now, Tony Iommi needs some surgery, and from what I can gather, that’s part of the reason the tour is ending now. They didn’t come to where I am, and it’s a pretty regular stop (Dallas, Texas). Anyway, my […]
Some HUGE Heaven & Hell Advertising
August 24, 2009 by
I was poking around Google Street View this afternoon, and looking at places I do business with, and/or buildings where some of my friends work. I hit the building in Burbank, CA where the Warner Bros / Rhino offices are. When I saw the building, I saw they had this massive side wall advertising area. […]
The Devil You Know Second Single [UPDATE]
August 19, 2009 by
The first single from the new 2009 album was “Bible Black”. The song was pretty darned good, and now word comes out that the second single has been chosen. That track is “Follow the Tears”. After I read that news, I hit up my contacts at Rhino records and asked them a few questions about […]
