Joel McIver's acclaimed Black Sabbath biography, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, conclud
ed in 2011 that its subjects were at a crossroads. Could Ozzy, Tony, Geezer and
Bill manage after over 40 years in business to get back together one more time?
After all, the veteran heavy metal musicians were grieving for their fallen comr
ade Ronnie James Dio and about to face a devastating medical diagnosis for one o
f their own. McIver's brand-new, updated volume brings the story up to date with
the tale of Sabbath's near-miraculous return to form with the Rick Rubin-produc
ed 13 album, which topped charts worldwide on its release in 2013.
