What is this that stands before me? Figure in black which points at me… Yes, it is the prince of darkness Mr John Michael (Ozzy) Osbourne himself. Was it a “Symptom Of The Universe” or did I step “Into The Void” to witness both “Heaven And Hell” in one glorious sunny day at Villa Park? It was fitting after some 57 years that Black Sabbath ended their glorious career a few miles from their birthplaces in Aston, Birmingham.

I decided to rectify that by reviewing their new sixteenth studio release, a decision helped by also covering their recent cracking London show; I am so glad I did. Ihave many favourite songs across their discography, but none come close to matching the amazing self-titled debut and sophomore stunner ‘Mood Swings’, but I’ll
