One of the great lost crossover albums.

No song will ever be this thrash. Pure raucous chaos and flailing unwashed hair.

Occult & Horror Influenced Psychedelic Stoner Doom.

The best Dio-Sabbath album, and honestly probably my favorite Sabbath album after Master of Reality. Heaven and Hell is great, but it has some filler while Mob Rules doesn't know the meaning of the word. The Sign of the Southern Cross is a doom metal classic.

^Pretty much agree with your take on Mob Rules. My favorite Sabbath albums are Mob Rules, Heaven & Hell, and Seventh Star. The latter is criminally underrated.

What's your opinion on Headless Cross if you've heard it? Tony Martin is a criminally underrated vocalist, and Headless Cross is the best they did with him I think. It's such a shame that so few people acknowledge the Martin years.



This is basically power-doom metal.

That's what's up. Once I finally discovered the 'occult' music tag my searching because so much more streamlined.

I know a couple songs from it that I think are very good. The title track and "When Death Calls", I think. But I never owned the album and never listened to the rest of it much. I actually know those two songs because I used to own an obscure live DVD with Tony Martin fronted Sabbath playing in Russia in murky VHS quality.

I have Eternal Idol on CD and it's a very good album. Not so keen on the last three Martin albums, although Anno Mundi is a great song (from Tyr).

Tony Martin Sabbath is like store brand Dio. Perfectly nice and I'll listen to it but I'd rather listen to Dio either Sabbath or solo! There's no reason why Tony Martin was a lost Sabbath singer. He simply wasn't good enough to be remembered.

According to Iommi, Headless Cross was poorly promoted by the label even though it did well on the charts. Been awhile since I went through the album but that's the story I heard.
