    “‘Unrequited Dread‘ is the war I have with my inner monologue, the pit in your stomach, the creeping feeling that everyone hates you and is slowly but surely pulling you into the deepest crevice of your insecurities that you can possibly imagine. I needed to release these thoughts into his song to help my brain not cave into itself.”

    A number of performers commented:

    James Hetfield (Metallica):

    “Look at all this love towards heavy metal. Metallica is so grateful to be invited here to see all your beautiful faces and celebrate the band Black Sabbath. Thank you boys for giving us a purpose in life.”

    Metallica:

    “What a day that was! When the invitation came to be part of Back to the Beginning, there was zero discussion. You don’t say no to Sabbath. Those four guys from Birmingham built the house the rest of us live in. Without them, there’s none of us. Getting to go back to where it all began and pay our respects to them and to Ozzy, together, one last time, is something we will never forget.”

    YUNGBLUD:

    “I mean first of all, this is an absolute fever dream… This is wild. Ozzy’s been a part of my life for as long as I can remember.”

    Billy Corgan (The Smashing Pumpkins):

    “It’s one of those rare moments in life where you know what’s happening, you’re gonna wanna remember for the rest of your life. So you’re soaking in like every detail. It turned out to be such a historical day. I’m so glad that I took the time to really soak it in.”

    Mike Inez (Ozzy Osbourne, Alice In Chains):

    “There is just something just magical about that show. Like I don’t think I’ll ever be done processing that week.”

    Zakk Wylde (Ozzy Osbourne / Black Label Society):

    “Ozzy put me on the biggest stage in the world… and [to] have that faith in me is just huge.”

    Jerry Cantrell (Alice In Chains):

    “I would say at this stage anybody that plays any rock and roll has all been influenced by Sabbath.”

    Phil Anselmo (Pantera, Down, etc.):

    “As a little boy growing up in New Orleans I had a lot of music thrown at me. The type of music that appealed to me was Black Sabbath.”

    Kerrry King (Slayer):

    “You know, in my mind Sabbath’s got hundreds of great songs… because you know, of course he’s been an influence since the dawn of time.”

  • Crypta Premiere “A Portrait Of Decay” Music Video

    Crypta have premiered a new video for their new song “A Portrait Of Decay.” You can find that below:

    The band commented:

    “‘A Portrait Of Decay‘ is the first song off this new chapter of the band that we’d like to share with you, our fans. We decided to release it before the album campaign as a way to present the new line-up to you and show you what kind of sound you can expect in this new era of the band. We chose this song because we think it summarizes the whole atmosphere of how our new music will sound. It’s an intense, atmospheric, melancholic, but still epic and aggressive death metal track that talks about dissociation as means to enduring pain and suffering.”

    Drummer Luana Dametto added:

    “The video clip is both an almost poetic contrast to the harsh death metal sound but also a cinematic depiction of the lyrics: An ethereal and almost dream-like landscape that represents someone’s true state of being, clear thoughts and light emotions, that slowly dissipate with the passing of time and changing of surroundings, and with the night and a much darker environment, after a while, feelings of being adrift and astray arise, showing that our conditions and time can directly change the way we see ourselves and the way we feel and interact.”
