First Listen New Black Sabbath God Is Dead

The Black Sabbath 3D horror maze attraction will open at Universal Studios in Hollywood later this month.

A combination of major releases and returning favorites by veteran artists lead to the third best week for vets in the last year as measured by our Veteran Artist Index.

Black Sabbath ‘13’ will deliver record first week sales for the legendary metal band with midweek sales suggesting the album could sell around 180,000 in America this week.

Black Sabbath founder Tony Iommi has donated his old guitar strings to Wear Your Music, a charity that turns the strings into jewellery.

Black Sabbath founder Tony Iommi says he is disappointed Black Sabbath’s original drummer Bill Ward didn’t reunite with the band but he also says it isn’t the first time Bill has done a runner.

Black Sabbath scored the ultimate product placement this week with a cameo appearance on the season finale of ‘C.S.I.’, along with a couple of featured songs from the new album ‘13’ and a blatant plug for the release of ‘13’. It was a brilliant marketing move.

Black Sabbath looks to have settled on a standard setlist and have stopped road-testing the songs from the upcoming ‘13’ album, except for the single.
