Black Sabbath has released a new YouTube clip previewing a track from their forthcoming album 13 in which the cover art for the album burns into shape to a soundtrack of riff-tastic new material.
Although the title of the new song, you can hear frontman Ozzy Osbourne sing for the first time on a Sabbath album since 1978s Never Say Die!, with the clip ending as Ozzy cooly delivers the lyric, “Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide“.
13 has been 35 years in the making. The album has been produced by Rick Rubin while Rage Against The Machine drummer Brad Wilk filling in for the exiled Bill Ward. You can check out the previously released behind-the scenes-doco for 13, which also features snippets from the record.
Stereoboard have kindly listed the various editions of 13:
• Standard CD album
• Double CD album in a deluxe soft-pack (includes a second disc of exclusive bonus audio material)
• 12″ heavyweight (180g) vinyl album in a gatefold sleeve
