In the world of heavy metal, no other band have lived life to the
fullest, stared death in the face so many times, battled addiction,
warred within themselves and still emerged, unscathed, unbowed with as
much bloody-minded persistence as Black Sabbath. Joel McIver has
conducted dozens of interviews with the musicians and those within the
industry who witnessed the rollercoaster ride of the band, as well as
many other Sabbath musicians who have been and gone over the years. This
is the ultimate guide to the Black Sabbath legend.
This latest edition of Joel McIver's book, which has been translated
into several languages, covers the late-career activities of Sabbath in
detail, with new interviews, analyses of the music and speculation about
the band members' futures.
