During an appearance on this past Friday's (October 12) edition of the
"Merrick & The Highway Patrol" show, which airs on Australia's
long-running rock station Triple M, Ozzy Osbourne's wife/manager
Sharon was asked about BLACK SABBATH's current status and whether
Australian heavy metal fans are going to see the band touring the
country anytime soon.

"Of course you are," Sharon replied (see video below). "[BLACK SABBATH
are] in the studio right now with [producer] Rick Rubin recording. And
they are going to be touring here in the spring of next year.
Definitely."

Jan. 12, 2013

http://blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode= ... mID=184790

Legendary heavy metal band BLACK SABBATH has set "13" as the title of
its much-anticipated new album. The group's first LP with Ozzy
Osbourne since 1978 will be released in June via Vertigo/Universal
Republic in the U.S. and Vertigo in all other territories. The drum

Osbourne, Tony Iommi (guitar) and Geezer Butler (bass) recorded the
album primarily in Los Angeles with producer Rick Rubin.

In advance of the CD's release, BLACK SABBATH will head to New
Zealand, Australia and Japan for live performances. Additional tour
plans will be revealed in the coming months.

En oo ikinä ostanu Black Sabbath: in levyä uutena....joten eiköhän nyt oo jo aika se tehdä .....tokihan hain heti uutena H&H :in mutta nyt varmaan kannessakin lukee oikea nimi

[Jussi]

13? Kas kun ei TH1RT3EN... ja johan se The Eternal Idol oli 26 vuotta sitten kolmastoista Black Sabbath, jos sensuuntaista tuolla haetaan -tuskin kuitenkaan, kun edellinen Oz-levy kanssaan oli vasta nro 8. Kesää odotellessa sitten!

[Sabbathman]

2011 onnistuin kaverin kautta saamaan kenttälipun Hartwallille, kunpa onnistuisin vielä toisenkin ja viimeisen kerran...

Nyt kun Black Sabbathilla on ollut paljon epäonnea, niin toivotaan että albumin nimi 13 onkin onnenluku...

[ovassa-8]

Enpä olisi ikinä arvannut rumpalia. Ihan sama mikä on levyn nimi, kunhan siellä olisi edes pari mehevää palaa Iommilta ja tuotantopuolella ei oltaisi vedetty joka raitaa aivan tappiin asti, Rubin varmasti kuunnellut Sabbathinsa ja toivon mukaan tuotannosta löytyy kolinaa, särinää, nyansseja, kuten 70-luvun levyillä, ja autotunea ei liikaa Ozzyn laulussa.
Bändi esiintyy nyt varmasti promokuvissa triona tästä lähtien.

Tänään 13. helmikuuta 2013, Black Sabbathin ensimmäisen albumin 43. vuosipäivänä, tulee kyllä hieno fiilis kun luen tätä uutista...

Vaikuttaa siltä että tämä uusi levy tulee olemaan minulle yksi kolmesta tärkeimmästä julkaisusta tällä uudella vuosituhannella.

[ovassa-8]

Mielenkiintoista uutista euroviisurintamalta, joutuuko tässä nyt seuraamaan Armenian esitystä ja pitämään peukkuja sille. Iommi hienosti pitänyt siteitä Armeniaan. Kuuntelin biisin Youtubesta, onhan siinä jotain hard rock-sävyjä, mutta myös myötähäpeällistä euroviisumaailmanparannusta:

No sehän kuullosti ihan Hole In The Skylta. Saundit ihan hyvät, varmaan parempaa tulossa kuin Heaven And Helliltä, lupaavaa..

[Pagan Fears]

Hyvänkuuloinen pätkä. Kansikuva ihan tyylikkään pelkistetty, vaikka olisivat kyllä saaneet keksiä levylle jonkun paremman nimen. Mutta näillä mennään, eikä yhtään huonoin fiiliksin!

[clairvoyant]

Noh, kunhan ois parempi kun se Devil You Know ja Ozzyn viimeisimmät niin sehän ois jo hyvin. Toivotaan, toivotaan!

“13″ Listening Party Review
April 10, 2013 by Joe

http://www.black-sabbath.com/2013/04/13 ... ty-review/

Earlier today, a private record label listening party happened out in
the LA area. I wasn’t invited (Waaaaah! – haha), nor do I personally
know anyone who attended. However…We live in an age of the Internet
and instant information, so you KNOW things would get out. An hour or
so ago, I got sent this review of the listening party from someone I
don’t know. Really – don’t know them, never emailed them before
tonight, and they hid their identity. Still, I’ll take the news,
because it’s GOOD STUFF. You’re gonna LOVE this.

First off, the event was held privately – in fact, I didn’t even know
it was happening until this afternoon (Wed Apr 10th). When I got
confirmation that it was happening, I was asked not to blow the cover
on the thing until after it happened. Probably the last thing they
needed was a few thousand local Sabbath fans rushing the door to get
in. Anyway, if you were going, you saw this at the entrance to what
I’m told is the “Ricardo Montalban Theatre” in Los Angeles…

Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!

Black Sabbath 13 Listening Party

Once you got in, your electronics were confiscated. Well, not
“confiscated”, but held – they had security tight, they didn’t want
the tunes leaking out. Understandable enough. But anyway, I wasn’t
there. This guy obviously was. So enough of my prattle, check this
out:

…it is a VERY good record, certainly belonging of a place in the
Ozzy-era discography. It is not mind-expandingly original, nor would I
want it to be. What it is, is VERY heavy Ozzy-era-sounding Sabbath.

In brief:

There were about 60 of us. No electronics were permitted (e.g.,
cameras, cell phones, etc.) If you had them, they were checked at the
door. People were wanded to ensure compliance. Once seated we heard
seemingly every other Ozzy-era song before they finally started.
Jack Osbourne — looking fit and clean/sober — came out and introduced
the record, and showed the clips that we have now seen on YouTube
which were, evidently, produced by his production company (nepotism at
its finest, take that Geoff Tate). There was an additional clip that
I’d not yet seen played at the end, so maybe 10 minutes in total.

Then they played the music. Eight tracks, five of which are 7+
minutes. I didn’t have a pen so I had to scratch some notes into the
piece of paper with a key…a dubious method of note-taking, to be sure.
Here are my recollections. Overall, very heavy production, owing at
least in part to what must have been downtuning to a low A or
something to accommodate an aging Mr. Osbourne.

The tempos seems to sway a little bit. Some may prefer this as it’s
more organic sounding. I was irritated somewhat by it in a couple of
places, but it wasn’t to distraction. Most of the time, Ozzy’s
melodies were not simply mimicking the guitar line (think Iron Man,
Electric Funeral, NIB, etc.). The sole exception to this was the final
track. Almost everything is mid-tempo. No short quick tracks ala
Paranoid. No reaaaaally drawn out doomy stuff like the beginning of
Into the Void. There’s a fair amount of “swing” (e.g., Hole in the Sky
type stuff) in here to go along with relatively brisk (for Sabbath,
meaning mid-tempo) riffage.

Specific Track Remarks:

End of the Beginning (8:07). Too long a track for an opener but
otherwise very good. Very heavy. Ozzy’s vocals don’t evoke dragons and
knights and the soaring evil of Dio…rather, they have a melodic but,
unsettling quality to then. Not operatic bombast, but understated,
melodic eeriness. But it works. This is not the uninspired songwriting
of those two songs from the Reunion album — this is real songwriting
with some good riffs from Iommi. A very good song.

God is Dead? (8:54). This song slays. Very cool riffing and a good
melody line. The B section is evocative of the Holy in the Sky riff
but it still works really well. This is an excellent song, worthy of
standing with anything in the Ozzy catalog (thought it lacks the
instant memorability of Iron Man or Paranoid).

Loner (5:06). Sounds a LOT like a heavy, modern-production version of
NIB (I even sang “Oh yeah” after the appropriate riff). Lyrically and
mood-wise it mixes in some Johnny Blade. It’s a good song, but not as
good as the previous ones.

Zeitgeist (4:28). Mellow, and somewhat evocative of Planet Caravan.
It’s fine, but I anticipate skipping this on CD.

Age of Reason (7:02). This song kills. My notes (again, scratched in
there by keys) are unintelligible. But this one had people pretty
fired up.

Live Forever (4:49). Has a Children of the Grave / Hole in the Sky
Feel once again. A good song, if not as ambitious as some of the
others.

Damaged Soul (7:43). Very heavy blues. Too bluesy for my tastes. Blues
blues and more blues, and when you are done with the blues, it shoves
another does of blues up your ass. This is overstated — it’s plenty
heavy. It just is too (wait for it) bluesy for my tastes. Others
enjoyed it more than me. Still, this is not a throwaway, just not one
of my favorites.

Dear Father (7:06). A great song to finish with, again quite heavy
with a lot of energy. The B section is the one featured in the video
with Rubin telling Ozzy to try again (“…the victims of the sins you
devise.”) The main section is beefier than that part. There is a
recurrent tritone riff that is very evocative of the first notes
played in the song Black Sabbath. It’s so evocative that one wonders
if it’s purposeful…and the riffs appears again at the very end of the
song…and then the song ends…with rain…and church bells. Very cool.
Very cool indeed.

In all, four terrific songs (tracks 1, 2, 5 and . Three good songs
(3, 6, 7 if you like blues). One song that non-stoners will skip. And
non-stoned stoners, probably. On balance, this is a very, very strong
record.

At the end, Jack came back out and thanked everybody, and then (this
was a surprise) Ozzy, Tony and Geezer came out to say hello briefly.
Tony looked well. Ozzy mumbled something well below the already low
standard for coherence that has been established for him — I could
only make out the word “album.” In fairness, people were applauding so
it would have been hard to discern what he said in any case.

So, you’ll be very happy. I think you will find it to be an enjoyable
reprise of the original Sabbath sound you liked. You’ll hear what
Iommi’s old riffs sound like played with modern production. I think
everybody will probably find something to like about it.

Nyt kun Black Sabbath on aktivoitunut (lähes) alkuperäisessä kokoonpanossa, niin samalla olisi toisen aikalaisen eli Cindy und Bertin hyvä hetki tehdä kauan odotettu paluu.
