From humble beginnings in Birmingham, Black Sabbath enslaved the minds and souls of millions of rock fans around the world and continue to do so into the new millennium. The Heavy Metal they created inspired countless musicians and spawned countless bands. Such has been their influence; they have been inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006 and were included among Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.
Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler recently announced they are reuniting and recording a new album. They are scheduled to perform a headlining slot at the Download Festival on Sunday 10th June and are also playing a warm up show at the Birmingham 02 Academy on 19th May.
