This Sabbath Tribute is awesome. Finally a tribute that doesn't just cover the same Sabbath tunes we have all heard done 100 times over. This tribute splices things up and gives a good mix of the bands music. Good production and cool pics/info of the bands covering the songs.

Overall, the whole cd was refreshing to listen to. The best tracks on the cd were N.I.B. by Dofka and Falling Off the Edge of The World by Icarus Witch.

Highly Reccomended!!!!

Being a long time fan of Black Sabbath (especially the '80s stuff), I was thrilled to find record that wasn't just rehashed versions of all the Ozzy "hits" or trying to push some nu-metal or rap versions. This record is a blessing, in that the bands are of a power metal position (ie. Iced Earth, Primal Fear, Steel Prophet, etc.). It was great to hear covers of the Dio era & beyond.

The best cut is by a band I'd never heard called Icarus Witch, who capture that spirit of the evil '80s metal but are apparantly a new band (judging by their web site) bringing back that cool style!

Order Of Nine & Jag Panzer were also exceptional. The best part is the packaging. Unlike other tributes I wasted money on, this one actually has high quality pictures, a huge pull out with good writing & in depth info on the history of Sabbath. It's like getting a book AND a killer heavy metal CD...and it was CHEAP!

Bon Enfin , Un tres bon album hommage a black sabbath,
qui remais en valeur la musique de black sabbath,
qui ne peu s'oublier avec les années, qui nous faire
travailler les tripes ,qui nous faire réver dans
un monde imaginaire ,de magie , de pouvoire et de
gloire,! surtout avec la force de 'ronnie james dio'
qui a mis sur les railes la musique ,qui a marquer
pour toujour avec heaven & Heaven et Mob rules !
des repris de 'danger zone' et glory ride! sans
priser cette magic culte ! un album 100% Bon

one of the better black sabbath tributes iced earth,agent steel, dofka and some great metal allstar bands,the low point is this is not all ozzy sabbath tunes,but worth the money and time compared to the other crap out there(most of it is)

Highly recommended for collectionists and fans... but for the real thing, listen to Black Sabbath!
