Back in October Black Sabbath took to the press to announce the disappointing but understandable news that they as a band would not be putting out any more albums. See our article on it here.
However Black Sabbath today have announced that one final album will be released but it won’t your standard album; but rather only available to those who attend the band’s upcoming tour.
Bass player and lead song writer Geezer Butler had this to say on the album:
“We thought we’d put out an album of 13 songs, but when we were in the studio we wrote another three songs, which brought it up to 16 and then we left it to Rick Rubin to pick which songs would go on the album, and to give it some light and shade he picked the eight songs that were on the 13 album. We put a few songs on deluxe versions of the album and then we had the four left over, and we decided to do a gig-only CD.”
Song titles have already been released are as follows:
Season of the Dead
Cry All Night
Take Me Home
Isolated Man
And Live versions of:
God Is Dead?
Age of Reason
End of the Beginning
Vol 4’s track Under the Sun.
As if the people didn’t already have enough incentives to go see Black Sabbath on their final ever tour; now there is the chance to get hold of a very limited edition album, most likely being the very last release from the legendary rockers. Please enjoy my personal favourite Sabbath song below:
