This Spring, Black Sabbath will continue their reunion tour by heading to Australia for the first time since 1974. They’ll also headline the first-ever Ozzfest Japan alongside Slipknot from May 11-12th in Chiba City.

Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward reunited with plans to record a new album and embark on a lengthy world tour. However, prior to their first show, Ward departed the band due to a contract dispute and Iommi was diagnosed with lymphoma, forcing the band to cancel all their scheduled performances aside from Download Festival and Lollapalooza.

The band remains at work on their first studio album in more than 33 years. According to a post on the band’s website, the Rick Rubin-produced effort is on target for April 2013.

Below, check out the band’s updated tour schedule and watch video of them performing “War Pigs” at Lollapalooza.

Ive been itching to explore this band recently I know alot of the popular stuff got Paranoid on CD love that album, been checking out both Ozzy and Dio stuff and i like both... any good recommendations on where to proceed album wise


OH first post of 2014!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can't go wrong with anything Ozzy or Dio related.

Ozzy years: (1969-1977, 1978-1979, 1997-present)
Dio years: (1979-1982, 1991-1992)

After listening to all of their contributions, your perspective about this mighty band may change.
But there will always be Iommi's riffs!!!!

My cousin who is a fan suggested Mob Rules Im kinda of inching towards Heaven and Hell....
