Back in 1994, there was a Black Sabbath Tribute album released entitled "Nativity in Black". Coming this summer is the sequel, oddly titled "Nativity in Black II". :) Anyway, I was contacted by someone from Priority Records, the folks who are putting out the album with some information about the album. The release date is […]

As you may have read below, Tony Martin had gone in to get himself checked out for cancer. It turns out he doesn’t have it, which is way cool news. Whether you like his tenure in Sabbath or not, he is associated with the band, and I’m sure everyone out there wishes him all the […]
