Black Sabbath

In 1995, when Black Sabbath delivered a powerful performance of "War Pigs" in Göttingen, Germany, they were in a pivotal phase of their career. This live recording came shortly after the release of their 1995 album, "Forbidden," which marked a brief reunion with frontman Tony Martin. Despite the mixed reviews of the album, the band showcased raw energy in their live shows, a reflection of their enduring legacy as heavy metal pioneers. Interestingly, the performance captured here highlights their knack for fusing social commentary with hard-hitting riffs, a trademark that has defined their work since the early '70s. Furthermore, this particular era was notable for the band's shifting line-up and experimentation with new sounds, contributing to a unique yet familiar vibe during live performances.
