Black Sabbath

In 2012, when Black Sabbath took the stage at the Download Festival in Donington, they were riding a wave of renewed strength. Just a year prior, they released their first album in over a decade, '13,' which marked the return of original frontman Ozzy Osbourne. This album not only debuted at number one in several countries but also reminded fans of the band's signature sound that shaped heavy metal. The live performance of 'War Pigs' during this festival was a highlight, re-energizing the band's classic repertoire for a new generation of fans. Interestingly, this concert was significant as it marked their return to one of their historic venues, adding a layer of nostalgia and excitement to the event. The band, which struggled through the years with line-up changes and personal struggles, showcased a powerful moment that summer, still reigniting the energy that first defined them in the early '70s.
