Black Sabbath Album Set For June Release

January 14th, 2013 Dan Bogosian

Over the weekend, classic rock and early heavy metal legends Black Sabbath announced that their next album would come out in June. The album, titled 13, is produced by Rick Rubin, famed for his work ranging from the Beastie Boys to Metallica.

Black Sabbath Drummer Vents Frustration, Considers Quitting Reunion

February 3rd, 2012 James Shotwell

The return of Black Sabbath may have hit a speed bump before it even begins.

Being adult as ever, Sabbath drummer Bill Ward recently posted an open letter to fans on his official website voicing concerns over the planned 2012 reunion album and tour. The message reads:

“At this time, I would love nothing more than to be able to proceed with the Black Sabbath album and tour. However, I am unable to continue unless a “signable” contract is drawn up; a contract that reflects some dignity and respect toward me as an original member of the band. Last year, …

It’s Official: Black Sabbath Plan 2012 Tour & New Album

November 11th, 2011 James Shotwell

We told you last week that Black Sabbath were planning a press conference today and we can now confirm that not only has the original lineup reunited, they’re planning a whole lot in 2012.

We heard it first from Rolling Stone, who is covering the event (our invitation must have gotten lost in the mail). Their official account tweeted “It’s official: Black Sabbath are recording a new album with Rick Rubin and touring the world in 2012″ just after 2pm this afternoon.

This is exciting news, but I’m pretty sure we all assumed they were getting back together. I mean, …

Ozzy Osbourne on return of Ozzfest, departure of Zakk Wylde

Courtesy of Rolling Stone:

Ozzy Osbourne may not be planning a Black Sabbath reunion, but he is in the final stages of recording his next solo album. The disc was originally titled Soul Sucka, but Ozzy recently changed his mind about that. “When we put that on the Internet none of my fan base liked the title,” says Osbourne. “They were like, ‘I can’t imagine me walking around the fucking house with the words ‘Soul Sucka’ on my T-shirt.’ So I was like, ‘Fuck it. I’ve got to come up with something else!’ ” The now untitled set is due
