The greatest heavy metal band in history is Black Sabbath and there is simply no disputing that. Sabbath are the true Godfather’s of heavy metal hailing from Birmingham, England. Their conquest of the universe began in 1968 and have in some way influenced every single band that you hear today. In our opinion, more significant […]
Deadland Ritual, the band that stars the legendary Geezer Butler (Black Sabbath), Steve Stevens (Billy Idol), and Matt Sorum (Guns ‘n’ Roses) has one of the best artist radios in hard rock on Spotify as of May 2020.

Some promoter dude apparently took a picture of the setlist prior to the show and leaked it to sites like Bravewords and Blabbermouth. Here are the songs on the setlist: ‘Into The Void’ ‘Under […]
As we predicted earlier, Tommy Clufetos will play drums for the Black Sabbath “reunion” shows starting with the O2 Academy show in Birmingham this evening. He is an excellent drummer who has performed and recorded with Ozzy Osbourne since the Scream album. I was a huge fan of Clufetos when he performed with Rob Zombie’s […]
The current members of Black Sabbath, as it turns out, are horrible human beings, or it at least appears that way. Why is that, you ask? As of today (May 18), original drummer Bill Ward has been removed from the official website photos on the main page. Can it be true that Ozzy, Tony, and Geezer […]
