Black Sabbath have let loose the first single off their forthcoming reunion album 13, due out June 11th via Vertigo/Republic. On “God Is Dead?”, Sabbath spend nine minutes ruminating over the question through their vintage doom metal that spirals over Brad Wilk’s stomping percussion. Spoiler alert: They don’t exactly find an answer, but Ozzy does happen to discover the “rivers of evil”, so there’s that.



Reuniting the groups founding lineup for the first time in 35 years, 13 was recorded in Los Angeles alongside veteran producer Rick Rubin and features Rage Against The Machines Brad Wilk on drums.

Here’s the band’s upcoming tour schedule.
