Black Sabbath

On November 19, 1995, Black Sabbath took to the stage at Shibuya Koukaidou in Tokyo for a performance that captured the essence of their legendary status in rock history. Leading up to this live recording, the band had just released their album 'Forbidden' in 1995, which marked a significant moment as it was their first studio album with the original lineup since 1978's 'Never Say Die!' . Although 'Forbidden' didn't receive the rave reviews many hoped for, it showcased a return to their heavy roots. Interestingly, the live performance features 'Ave Satani,' a haunting piece originally composed by the band, adding an eerie yet mesmerizing quality to their setlist. This performance in Tokyo is a testament to Black Sabbath's enduring impact on metal, even as they faced mixed reactions from critics and fans alike during this phase of their career.
