Zakk Sabbath - Doomed Forever Forever Doomed

Black Sabbath tribute band release Doomed Forever Forever Doomed

Double LP

A massive dose of pure Black Sabbath worship!

Celebrating more than 50 years of Birmingham's most famous four, the "inventors" of heavy metal are being honored by the preeminent tribute trio led by guitarist and singer Zakk Wylde with the double album Doomed Forever Forever Doomed. This loving tribute contains the Americans' brilliant take on Black Sabbath's second and third full-lengths, the classic heavy metal masterpieces Paranoid (1970) and Master of Reality (1971).

Zakk Sabbath were founded by Black Label Society guitarist and singer Zakk Wylde, who is widely renowned for his many years as lead guitarist for Ozzy Osbourne and now Pantera. After initially only performing live with rotating members, Zakk Sabbath solidified a stable cast with the addition of Ozzy Osbourne and Rob Zombie bass player Blasko and Joey Castillo on drums (also of Danzig and Queens of the Stone Age).

Inspired by the 50th anniversary of Black Sabbath's self-titled debut full-length, Zakk Sabbath released a tribute to this monumental heavy metal milestone under the title Vertigo in 2020. The album was heaped with praise from critics and fans alike. The trio scored a massive global success as witnessed by impressive Billboard chart entries such as No. 5 on the U.S. Hard Music chart, No. 7 on the Current Rock Albums chart and No. 27 on the Billboard Top Albums chart alongside No. 1 in Metal Albums in France and No. 3 on the German Album chart, as well as No. 9 on the U.K. Top 40 Rock/Metal chart among others.

"We recorded a live EP and were wondering what we could do next as a cover band, so the 50th album anniversary came just at the right time", explained Blasko regarding Zakk Sabbath's decision to go studio. "Compared to Paranoid, which is almost like a best-of record, the bulk of the material on Black Sabbath is deep-cut, really experimental stuff that was never thoroughly explored, so that was a challenge, not to forget that we wanted to meet our own high standards."
