Background information über '13'

After nearly two decades away from the studio, the godfathers of heavy metal returned with their nineteenth studio album, proving that age hasn't dulled their razor-sharp edge one bit. "13" marks a triumphant comeback for Black Sabbath, reuniting the core trio of Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Ozzy Osbourne for their first studio collaboration since 1978's "Never Say Die!". The album opens with the epic "End of the Beginning", a seven-minute journey that immediately establishes this isn't just a nostalgic cash grab – it's a genuine artistic statement that captures the band's signature doom-laden atmosphere while showcasing their evolved songwriting prowess.

The record seamlessly blends the band's classic elements with a more refined approach, particularly evident in tracks like "God Is Dead?" and "Loner". Iommi's guitar work remains as menacing as ever, while Butler's bass lines provide that familiar thunderous foundation, and Ozzy's vocals – though weathered by time – still carry that unmistakable haunting quality that defined a generation. Producer Rick Rubin deserves credit for capturing the band's raw essence while giving the sound a contemporary polish that doesn't sacrifice the organic feel of their legendary early works.

For fans of: Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and Dio
