Black Sabbath

In November 2013, Black Sabbath was riding high on the waves of their critically acclaimed album, '13,' which had been released earlier that year. This marked a significant moment for the band, as it was their first studio album with Ozzy Osbourne since 'Never Say Die!' in 1978. The live recording in Dortmund captures them at a pivotal point in their career where they were reconnecting with both their legacy and a fresh audience. Notably, this marked a resurgence for the band, demonstrating that their heavy, pioneering sound still resonated powerfully with fans. It's fascinating how, in an era filled with pop and electronic music, Black Sabbath's raw energy and heavy riffs could still electrify crowds. The show in Quebec the following year would further showcase their iconic status in the heavy metal scene, proving that even after decades, they could draw throngs of devoted fans.
