Alexander S. - 14/Oct/2019  No matter what you say, there is no arguing against the established truth: Black Sabbath, as a symbol, like Walder Frey from rock, having taken a thought, stoner and sludge out of his army loins, has only one successful composition. Iommi, Osborn, Butler. Everything else is interchangeable, and, in general, it has a mediocre attitude to the cult of Black Saturday. Even an adherent of the Ward drum kit sealed with yellow stickers. Even the voice of God Dio. Even the soundly cosplaying Metatron Martin.
The three pillars indicated are again together, in the studio, for the first time in thirty-five years. And despite the illnesses, the climax, the alcoholic drug corkscrew, and the illusory prospects of his wife’s boot in the ass caused by him, the fathers (yes, grandfathers) lived up to expectations (very optimistic, I must say) to the fullest: from the bowels of Vertigo Records a viscous glutton crawled out a homunculus that swallowed three decades without Ozzy and did not even burp at the same time. Yes. Yes! “13” from its six ideological predecessors, the last of which was released in 1975, is distinguished only by a modernized sound, no more. This frightened away and disappointed many people: “Fe, I heard an echo of the Black Sabbet song in the End of the Beginning”, “The Spirit of Time is undisguised self-plagiarism from the Planet Caravan, how so.” Alle, garage. You are talking about the first album of the original Black composition, their mother, Sabbet, in three decades and seriously expect to hear something “fresh” there, while millions of people like me pray to the black goat and bite their bats off in the name of creating “Master of Reality” vol.2 "! What are you against us? Hhykhy.
I must say, bitten boshki night bloodsuckers did not disappear in vain. We got a pure Black Sabbath extract, instantly recognizable and at the same time incredibly far from self-plagiarism, for which many have the habit of accepting fine-cut handwriting. This is the music from which our grandfathers and fathers dragged. To be honest, I don’t know which album along with this can unite several generations. To combine ecstasy into a frenzy with the classic Sabbetic quality, into which End Of The Beginning, God Is Dead?, Damaged Soul break down. Yes, I hear familiar riffs, and each of them leads me into a frantic thrill: “Hole in the Sky”, “Into the Void”, “Children of the Grave”, “Black Sabbath” - all of which are fundamental for metal, carefully polished, carefully sewn into this album, filled with references to the Golden Era of Black Saturday and completed with the sounds of rain and distant uncertain knocking on the bell, clearly hinting that it is unlikely to happen again.
Finally, for the first time in several decades, Black Sabbath won the Black Sabbath of the Year nomination, despite its unusually powerful competitors.
Amen.

Harangozó I. - 05/Jan/2015  43 years have passed since the first Black Sabbath album. Ozzy Osbourne Until 1978, the Never Say Die! album, the band's lead singer. This period was the Sabbath best years. Until 1995, the Forbidden album, inclusive, are made of different singers on the album. Mostly filled with good music. After several reunion plans in 2010, teamed up with the original band again. The Ozzy, Tony Iommy, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward Quartet. In 2013 they came out with a brand new studio material. Unfortunately, due to the problems, Bill Ward CD recordings could not be there. The drum parts played by Brad Wilk.
The album, worthy of the early albums true Sabbath Black Sabbath sound.
