1986 was an interesting year in the Black Sabbath camp. Fan interest was waning. Bands that Sabbath influenced were leaving them in the dust. And the band’s 12th album “Seventh Star” wasn’t doing them any favors. At this point, Sabbath was basically the Tony Iommi Project and the Sabbath sound was abandoned for something a little more 80s friendly. So this week we decided to tackle this forgotten record in our “40th Anniversary Album Spotlight Series”. We go into everything surrounding the band at the time before doing a deep dive into the album. This was not your Dad’s Sabbath. Or anyone else’s for that matter. In our “News, Views and Tunes”, we pay tribute to Mark from Impetigo (RIP). Musically, we crank Exhumed, Jello Biafra, Trouble, The Obsessed, the aforementioned Impetigo, Death Row (Ger), Leatherhead, Black Knight and we introduce British punkers Be N!ce in our “Indie Spotlight”. Horns Up!!
