Audio Slaughter podcast #4 – BLACK SABBATH

I’ve been obsessed with Black Sabbath since I was in high school. I’ve been wanting to talk about them on the site for many years. Now that the new album “13” is out, this is the perfect time. It’s the first Black Sabbath album to feature Ozzy Osbourne on vocals since Never Say Die (1978) and the first with 3/4 of original members since Born Again (1983). This is not just an album. It’s an event. Let’s celebrate!

This podcast is 3 hours long! Like I said, I’m obsessed with Black Sabbath, so it was impossible to hold back. I suggest downloading it and listening to it when you get time. It’s like a novel. You have to bookmark it!
