APOCALYPTICA, PRONG, CAVALERA CONSPIRACY To Pay Tribute To BLACK SABBATH

APOCALYPTICA, PRONG, ELECTRIC WIZARD, CAVALERA CONSPIRACY and ORANGE GOBLIN are among the artists who will reportedly be featured on a new Metal Hammer compilation album paying homage to the masters of heavy metal, BLACK SABBATH. More details will be made available soon.

BLACK SABBATH commemorated the 40th anniversary of its debut album in February with an interview at the U.K.'s Times Online. The self-titled disc was issued on February 13, 1970, and arguably set the tone, style and template for what became modern heavy metal. The heavy, crashing guitars, wailing vocals, thunderous rhythms and eerie, occult-drenched lyrics would become influential to untold numbers of bands over the next four decades.
