Overview

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.

Reviews

It can't be easy to chronicle the entire hisotry of Black Sabbath. But Joel McIver has managed the seeming impossible. This is a thoroughly researched, well writted, balanced book that's neither afraid to criticise legends when necessary, nor fearful of praising eras many others dismiss. Unless everyone who's ever been involved with Sabbath decides to contribute to a massive book on the band, this will remain definitive. - Malcolm Dome, Total Rock
