Black Sabbath Album "13" due in June

Wilk is an excellent drummer.

Interesting side note - I watched a fairly recent interview with Tony Iommi on " That Metal Show " with Eddie Trunk . They were discussing his deep arsenal of heavy guitar riffs - his trademark . Iommi claimed he has guitar riffs that have yet to see the light of day that are as plentiful and quality as his well known classic riffs . Some of them he has been sitting on " for years " . As a classic Sabbath fan , I'm of the opinion that NOW is the time to unleash these sonic gems . There is NOTHING more menacing then a heavy Iommi guitar riff .

Man I would like to hear a good rock album. Van Halen helped me survive busy season last year and I got nothing for this year.

I can see the logic in bringing Wilk on board. I would love it if the album is a bit more bluesy/rocky/jazzy with a twist of dark metal thrown in.

Me too. I think the sound on the 'Heaven & Hell' record would be a bit too sparse and dark for Ozzy's voice these days.....

[binnie]

And by that I mean the last Sabbath record with Dio (when they were billed as 'Heaven & Hell'), rather than the record of the same name from 1980......

I'm relieved they went with Brad Wilk...

He might be a good fit...

I'm curious to see that Rubin is so hands on (at least in that video) - he is renowned as being a very 'hands off' producer.

The weak link here is Ozzy - I really hope his vocals stack up. They sounded good on 'Scream' so there is hope......

[Matt White]

I'm actually very optimistic aboot this one........even without Bill Ward

I'd be a HUGE hypocrite, having LARVED ADKOT even without Mike Anthony, if I didnt give it a chance.....

I just hope there are some actual RIFFS on this....something I thought was missing from that HEAVEN & Hell cd THE DEVIL YOU KNOW...........

[ELVIS]

They sounded good on 'Scream' so there is hope......

Some of the best vocals Ozzy ever laid down are on Scream...

[78/84 guy]

I'm relieved they went with Brad Wilk...

He might be a good fit...

I had little interest in the album until I watched that clip. Good to see them playing live in the studio. That's the way to do it. He is a good drummer. Rage is interesting. I like the fit also.

NEW Sabbath Song God is Dead?
in it's entirety. You're welcome you unworthy bitches

[Green Manalishi]

Outstanding ! Can't wait to hear the rest of the album . Sounds like vintage Sabbath as we know them .
How about a 35th. anniversary classic Black Sabbath / classic Van Halen tour ?

[Satan]

Most Unholy!

Sounds like something that could have been on Volume 4, despite the scab drummer.

Good to know they are still capable of sounding evil

[Matt White]

Hmmmmmmmmmmm........

Gonna guess this won't be the song I'd have chosen as a 1st single.....
