Black Sabbath Live Performance of Methademic from Album 13
In July 2013, Black Sabbath was riding high on the wave of their latest album, "13," which had just been released earlier that month. During this period, the band was reuniting with their iconic frontman Ozzy Osbourne and delivering a blend of classic heavy metal with fresh energy. "Methademic" is one of the standout tracks from that album, showcasing Sabbath's signature heavy riffs and dark lyrical themes. It's notable that this live recording captures the band on their first night of the U.S. tour, marking a triumphant comeback after several years. Interestingly, "13" debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, highlighting the band's enduring legacy and ability to connect with both longtime fans and new listeners. This live performance at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion was a pivotal moment, reflecting their evolution while staying true to the sound that birthed the metal genre.
