100% of the profits will be going to Black Lives Matter charities across the United States.
Birmingham born metal legends Black Sabbath have taken their stance in the fight against injustice and equality by releasing an exclusive t-shirt, in support of the Black Lives Matter movement, in which all proceeds will be going straight to Black Lives Matter.
The attention-grabbing t-shirts can be pre-ordered right now and will be sold at $25 each. They can be ordered from anywhere in the world, with orders being shipped out from the band’s official website from mid-July. The artwork takes inspiration from Black Sabbath’s third notorious album ‘Master of Reality’, which was released in 1971. Black Sabbath have tastefully transformed their artwork to read the powerful message Black Lives Matter in solidarity with the movement.

The inspiration for this one of a kind piece of merch was taken from none other than Rage Against The Machine’s founding member, Tom Morello, who was wearing the Tshirt with his mother in an Instagram post a week before.
This is not the first time Black Sabbath have come forward in support of charitable and progressive causes. The band have come together recently when guitarist Tony Iommi raised over 19,000 euros in an auction to support the United Kingdom’s National Health Services during the Coronavirus pandemic. The Prince of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne and Geezer Butler have also spoken out against animal abuse and have openly supported organisations like PETA.
Black Sabbath are not the first to show support for the Black Lives Matter movement, they are amongst a long list of many other artists and bands who have released merchandise with all proceeds being donated to the organisation following the death of George Floyd. The Story So Far, Fall Out Boy, Machine Gun Kelly, Knocked Loose, Dying Wish and Beartooth are just some of the famous who are actively donating to related Black Lives Matter charities.
