Black Sabbath's new album 13 is about a week away from being released on June 11th. And while the band has been playing many new songs live, up until this point the only studio version of a track we've heard is "God Is Dead?." That is until now.
Sure, we've already heard a snippet of "End Is The Beginning" when the band premiered it on CSI a few weeks back, but now Chilean radio station Futuro 88.9 FM has posted an mp3 on their official site of the official studio track. Instead of posting the track directly, they seemed to have posted a "radio rip," which includes a DJ talking over the intro, and a sonically lower-quality version of the track than one can expect on the album.
But regardless, the song is very listenable and ultimately, once again, the riffage is undeniable Iommi awesomeness. Once Ozzy's vocal comes in, it becomes a bit more questionable. I'm not sure if this track needed to be nine minutes, but regardless it was a fun listen.
What did you think of the track?
