In news that could potentially piss off any fan of Black Sabbath if it weren’t true, the original Black Sabbath line-up (Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward) has reformed.
Despite what Geezer Butler originally said, it has been confirmed that the four musicians have been secretly working on rehearsing for a tour and writing a brand new album. As stated by Iommi in an interview with bpm media (Sunday Mercury, Birmingham Mail): “We’re really looking forward to it and I think the stuff we’ve been writing is really good, it’s more back to the old original stuff.”
He also explained in the interview how Ozzy was the worst at keeping this project under wraps. “It’s all been very hush-hush. Ozzy’s been the worst at trying to hold it back. He’s doing a lot of TV and he’s being asked stuff about a reunion and he’s going ‘well I never say never’. He told me, ‘I don’t know what to say’.” Iommi was also concerned with the performance of drummer Bill Ward, due to his health conditions and a heart attack that he suffered: “He hasn’t been 100 per cent. He had an operation a few months ago, so we’ll see how he is.”
Kryptos will embark on a massive country wide tour of India in support of their upcoming third album ‘The Coils of Apollyon’, which is scheduled for release in October 2011. The tour will cover 30 cities over 40 days and will be the longest and largest tour of the country by any metal band in the history of the Indian metal scene. The band will travel in a fully customized bus along with a complete sound and lighting rig as well as a 14 man crew in what will be an unprecedented event that will bring the power of heavy metal to all corners of the country.
The tour will begin in Bangalore where Kryptos will launch ‘The Coils of Apollyon’ on Oct 29th and will then continue to move from the south to the north and back down again. The band will cut through all major Indian cities as well as breaking new ground in cities that have yet to witness the full force of heavy metal.
Long live the old school!!!
