Satan And Rainbows

Is the Shield truly Invincible? Was this album worth the wait? Does our old discography ranking from 2018 hold up now? We will answer all of these questions and more as we revisit the newest release by the first band we ever covered on the show. Enjoy!

Geezer, Geoff, and Tony Iommi are still here, Dio's gone, Tony Martin is back, and then...wait, who's Bobby? How can a good Sabbath album get made with all this chaos? Well...pretty easily, actually. We're talking Cross Purposes (1994) Facebook/Instagram: @satanandrainbows Twitter: @SatanRainbowPod Email: Contact@satanandrainbows.com Financial Support: https://ko-fi.com/thenatezone Special thanks to our announcer Sasha Aleksandra!

Okay, hear me out...is this the most underrated Black Sabbath album ever? I think I make a pretty good case as a break down the Norse-ish concept-ish album TYR (1990).

A career-defining triumph for Tony Martin. A crushingly heavy yet somehow also refreshingly melodic musical statement from a band with nowhere to go but up. An episode I had to scrap and re-record at the last minute because I'm bad at this. Yes, you guessed it. We're talking the final Sabbath album of the '80s and the first of the Out-of-Print Era. Let's join all the witches and meet at the Headless Cross (1989).

After the most chaotic period of Sabbath's history, they manage to cobble together a very listenable album and emerge with a singer who will stick around for a while. It's The Eternal Idol (1987)!

An album that some Black Sabbath purists (incorrectly) think shouldn't even BE a Sabbath album. It's going to start getting wacky from here on out, so I hope you've got the sand to listen as we break down Seventh Star (1986) Facebook/Instagram: @satanandrainbows Twitter: @SatanRainbowPod Email: Contact@satanandrainbows.com Special thanks to our announcer Sasha Aleksandra!
