From time to time I get questions about the availability of Black Sabbath’s catalogue on legal music download sites. During my recent hiatus, I was informed that two more Black Sabbath albums have turned up on iTunes. The albums are Born Again & The Eternal Idol. Previous to this, all of the Dio era albums […]
Everything Comes & Goes Black Sabbath Tribute Due
I was sent this story, which recently appeared on MTV.com’s news site.. *Black Sabbath* tributes by metal bands are a dime a dozen, so the newest disc of musical homages, /Everything Comes & Goes: A Tribute to Black Sabbath,/ is definitely a change of pace.

The last full studio album Black Sabbath has released was 1995’s underrated Forbidden. However, the last studio output the band put out were the two tracks on 1998’s Reunion.

However, those who knew him and knew his work will appreciate this new interview that’s online with Ray. It’s over at rockdetector, and talks […]
Sabbath Crosses
Back in late July, Blackstar Productions in Argentina sent me a copy of their Black Sabbath tribute CD called “Sabbath Crosses”.
