By the way, did anyone notice that Dio/Iommi/Butler/Appice have a new album coming out? I almost forgot about it while reading this thread.

We were going to start importing a few your way, we are going to start with Rush Limbaugh and maybe Geraldo Rivera next.

I thought that album art work was for the new Stryper album, silly me.

I don't know if I can in good conscience buy this album now. That cover is obviously a swipe at Christianity. That's a shame too, because I bet this album will be quite good.

Would you really not buy this album just because of the cover? Do you honestly believe that the members of Black Sabbath are making an anti-Christian statement with this? You don't think it's just a marketing gimmick?

1. Very possibly. It's not like I don't already have a closet full of metal CDs and cassettes that I can listen to without putting another dollar in the devil's pocket (so to speak).
2. Yes, especially Dio. He seems to think along those lines.
3. Who approves the marketing? They obviously approve of their own album cover. It's their endorsement.

Seems to? Obviously? Nothing is obvious.

And let's not pretend like Sabbath has never tread this path before.

EDIT: Seven pages? I gotta wake up earlier.

You missed the fun part...might as well have stayed in bed.

LMAO!!!! oh man what the hell went on in here? hahahaha All that over a silly little album cover, that looks great by the way. That artwork works great with this band. Isnt this kind of subject matter talked about in this band anyway? I dont think its such a huge surprise they would have something like that on their album cover.

Must have been after page two, because that's when I stopped reading. When Troublezone and Temple of Blood argue, and my eyes begin to bleed, it's time to pack it in.

I, for one, did NOT think of Christ or Satan when I saw that album cover. I thought "that is one good piece of artwork - cool stylization on the demon". Take it for what you want to take it for.

A brief note about the recording, which has me psyched. (from blabbermouth)

"It took less than three weeks to finish the album, with most of the
songs only needing a couple of takes. "It was good to play them live in
the studio. It keeps you on edge," Iommi says. "I mean, somewhere along the line we were gonna have to play them live; might as well start in the studio." Butler adds: "We've learned from the past that you can kill a song doing it over and over. The first SABBATH
albums were done in two or three days. Technically they weren't great,
but vibe-wise they were great. If you capture that feeling, that's all
you need."

Bob Marlette - He produced the Iommi/Hughes album Fused. The H&H album was recorded in the same studio as Dehumanizer.

When I read MG71's reply I totally heard it in the voice of that Gorgoroth guy from "Metal: A Headbanger's Journey"
