Our Take
Ah, Black Sabbath, the godfathers of heavy metal. The band that gave us iconic riffs, haunting vocals, and creepy album covers. But in the case of "Forbidden (2024 Tony Iommi Remix) [Ultra Clear Vinyl]," it feels like they've lost their mojo. This remix by Tony Iommi, the riff-master himself, promises a fresh take on the classic album. But instead of revitalizing the songs, it falls flat. The ultra clear vinyl may look slick, but it can't hide the fact that the remix feels like a missed opportunity. The album kicks off with "Guilty as Hell," a track that lacks the punch of the original version. The guitars sound muffled, the vocals are drowned out, and the overall energy is lacking. It's as if Iommi got lost in the fog and couldn't find his way back to the killer riffs we know and love. Things don't get much better with tracks like "The Illusion of Power" and "Rusty Angels." The production feels muddy, the arrangements feel cluttered, and the excitement just isn't there. It's like watching your favourite band play a lacklustre show - you keep waiting for that moment of magic, but it never comes. Overall, "Forbidden (2024 Tony Iommi Remix) [Ultra Clear Vinyl]" is a disappointing addition to the Black Sabbath catalogue. Die-hard fans may find some gems hidden within the remix, but for the rest of us, it's a forgettable listen. Stick to the original and crank up the volume for the real Sabbath experience.

About the artist

Black Sabbath

Black Sabbath: The Godfathers of Heavy Metal Formed in Birmingham in 1968, Black Sabbath is widely regarded as the pioneers of heavy metal music. With their dark and ominous sound, the band changed the landscape of rock music forever. Led by the iconic frontman Ozzy Osbourne, the band's self-titled debut album in 1970 was a game-changer, laying the foundation for what would become an illustrious career. Tracks like "Paranoid" and "Iron Man" have become anthems for headbangers around the world. But it wasn't just their music that set them apart. Black Sabbath's imagery and stage presence were equally influential. From Ozzy's wild antics to Tony Iommi's menacing guitar riffs, the band created a larger-than-life persona that captured the imagination of fans everywhere. Despite lineup changes over the years, Black Sabbath continued to push the boundaries of their genre, experimenting with different sounds while staying true to their roots. Whether it was the doom-laden melodies of "Black Sabbath" or the more experimental vibe of "Sabotage," the band always managed to keep their fans on their toes. And let's not forget their influence on future generations of musicians. Everyone from Metallica to Pantera has cited Black Sabbath as a major inspiration, solidifying their place in music history. So, whether you're a die-hard metalhead or just a casual listener, it's impossible to deny the impact that Black Sabbath has had on the music industry. They are truly the godfathers of heavy metal, and their legacy will continue to live on for generations to come.
