The Mistery Behind the Return of Black Sabbath

Yesterday we announced that the original members of Black Sabbath (Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward) are working on a new studio album (The Return Of Black Sabbath). After hearing the news, guitar legend Tony Iommi made the following statement on his website.

"I'm saddened that a Birmingham journalist whom I trusted has chosen this point in time to take a conversation we had back in June and make it sound like we spoke yesterday about a Black Sabbath reunion. I hope he's enjoyed his moment of glory, he won't have another at my expense. To my old pals, Ozzy, Geezer and Bill, sorry about this, I should have known better."

If you look carefully at Iommi's statement about the reformation of Black Sabbath, he doesn't deny or confirm the allegations.

Today, the Birmingham Mail posted a conversation with Iommi’s manager, Ralph Baker, which suggests the idea of a Black Sabbath reunion still being alive.

"We haven’t got anything in place," said Baker. "He’s not denying that the guys have been talking," before rudely adding "A very insignificant little website [Metal Talk] put something out about Sabbath getting back together and being in the Midlands. That’s why Tony’s p----d off, because the story would have died a death."

So will there be a new Black Sabbath album in 2012? Lets keep our fingers crossed and our HORNS UP!
