Rock legends BLACK SABBATH will headline a number of
Europe’s premier festivals in 2012.
After announcing their reunion on 11.11.11, these worldwide appearances are one of
the most anticipated music events of 2012. Kicking off on Friday May 18th in Moscow at
Olimpski, the tour will bring BLACK SABBATH to the masses at: Download
Festival [UK], Azkena Rock Festival [Spain], Hellfest [France], Graspop Metal
Meeting [Belgium], and Gods of Metal [Italy]. However, that’s only the beginning of the
group’s global tour which will take the band around the world including countries the
band has never played before and others they have not visited in more than three
decades.
The four original members of BLACK SABBATH—OZZY OSBOURNE (vocals), TONY
IOMMI (guitar), GEEZER BUTLER (bass) and BILL WARD (drums)—are currently
recording their first studio album in 33 years with legendary producer RICK
RUBIN (seven-time Grammy winner, two of those as Producer of the Year) for release
worldwide on Vertigo Records, and Vertigo/Universal Republic Records in the US in
the fall 2012.
Revered music and spoken word artist, Henry Rollins, has said that “BLACK SABBATH’s music is ultimate bone-powderizing gear. Any band worth their weight in napalm wishes they had written „War Pigs.‟ The critics never got it, but the fans did and still do, and the music has not lost any thunder with time but in fact resonates more loudly…Hail the mighty Black Sabbath now and forever.”
Music fans across Europe are in for a night of epic proportions from the Grammy-winning, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees on this very historic return.
