Earlier this year, BLACK SABBATH's landmark self-titled debut turned 50 years old. Zakk Wylde had revealed he intended to cover the record in full with his ZAKK SABBATH tribute band and now that has finally come to fruition. The album, Vertigo, has been unveiled along with a faithful cover of the iconic BLACK SABBATH title track that put heavy metal in motion.

Those of you wary that Wylde's signature pinch harmonics would dominate the immortal opening riff — you have made the wrong assumption. The trio of Zakk Wylde (guitar and vocals), Blasko (bass) and Joey Castillo (drums) embraced the herculean task of covering one of the most daunting songs in the entirety of the metal canon and did it with remarkable skill.
