¿¿In the world of heavy metal, no other band have lived life to the fullest, stared death in the face so many times, battled addiction, warred within themselves and still emerged, unscathed, unbowed with as much bloody-minded persistence as Black Sabbath. Joel McIver has conducted dozens of interviews with the musicians and those within the industry who witnessed the rollercoaster ride of the band, as well as many other Sabbath musicians who have been and gone over the years. This is the ultimate guide to the Black Sabbath legend. This latest edition of Joel McIver's book, which has been translated into several languages, covers the late-career activities of Sabbath in detail, with new interviews, analyses of the music and speculation about the band members' futures.
