Since I posted the story last week about the entire old Black Sabbath back catalogue from 1970 through 1987 being available on places like iTunes and whatnot, I’ve decided to look into it a bit deeper. As most of you know (or should, anyway) back in the day there were two primary distribution deals. In […]

Thanks to Tim over at bravewords for pointing this out to me… I am currently trying to find out whether this means it will be available in the US versions of iTunes and Amazon’s MP3 store, or just their UK counterparts. Given the albums cover from 1970-1987, this is the old European distribution stuff, the […]

I’ve gotten a lot of emails (nee complaints) from fans in Europe wanting to know what’s going on with distribution of “The Devil You Know”. Amazon UK’s site has had it for sale, but only as an import. I just got word less than 10 minutes before posting this that the deal for Europe has […]

Short and sweet. Heaven & Hell has a full version stream of the first single from the new album up on their official Myspace page. Go check it out here: http://www.myspace.com/heavenandhellmusic

Last night the cover art for the new Heaven & Hell studio album, “The Devil You Know” was released. After looking at it for awhile, I found a major typo. I mean a really REALLY huge one. I don’t know how they missed it. I’ve corrected the artwork, and have posted it below. Check it […]

Well, the official cover art for the new studio album has been released. Turns out it’s mostly the same as the leaked one from a week ago. At that time, I was told it was not exactly the same, and that appears to be the case here. It pretty much mostly looks the same as […]

There’s a couple of releases coming out in the next month (The 3 Disc Paranoid, and the new studio album). That part is not news. What is news was something I found out yesterday, part of which is probably going to irritate some fans. The 3 Disc Paranoid Release: This has been talked about for […]

Normally I don’t run poll results as a news story, but the results of the current poll surprised me. The poll that I just closed ran from Dec 3, 2008 through till March 1, 2009. The question was this: Would you rather the new album be called Heaven & Hell or Black Sabbath? I offered […]

Got an interesting link sent to me tonight by Norwegian journalist Roy Hilmar Svendsen. It’s an interview with Tony Iommi talking about the three CD Paranoid release due in April. The page itself is in Norwegian (auto translate to English here by Google). Roy was kind enough to send me over a direct English translation […]
