Primarily recorded in Los Angeles with seven-time Grammy winning producer Rick Rubin, the album features Rage Against The Machine’s Brad Wilk on drums in place of Bill Ward.

It’s Ozzy Osbourne, Geezer Butler and Tony Iommi’s first album together since 1978’s ‘Never Say Die’.

Back in November, Iommi told The Guardian that they had penned 15 songs, which they were planning to whittle down.
