Don't know if it has been posted before, but there is a preview of the album here.

That opening riff sounds familiar.

It's Hole in the Sky!

Big Ears · 04-06-2013, 06:26 AM

This is the cover:

Some of the tracks:

God Is Dead
End of the Beginning
Age of Reason
Dear Father
Loner
Methademic
Epic

According to Wiki, 16 were recorded, but only 13 may make album. The 2001 sessions appear to have been ditched.

That's one fearsome cover!

Who's their vocalist now? So many it's hard to keep up...

The lineup is Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Brad Wilk on drums. It should have been a reunion of the original band, but Bill Ward withdrew. Tommy Clufetos (Alice Cooper, Ted Nugent, Ozzy Osbourne) originally took over on drums, but was replaced by Wilk from Rage Against the Machine.

Hmm. Ozzy back on vocals? Is he not too fat to fit through the studio door now?

Sure I'll give him a chance..

Ozzy has been pretty active doing his solo stuff for quite a while.

I thought of "Hole in the Sky" too when I heard that.

I'm fearful that this album is going to suck like a thing that sucks.

His treatment of Bob Daisley and antics on The Osburnes put me off Ozzy. It was hard to believe this was the voice on those first half-dozen Sabbath albums. I am pessimistic about 13 and would have preferred it if they had regroupedd with Tony Martin.

Hopefully, Ozzy isn't handling the songwriting-- as in the lyricist.
