Forbidden (Clear) Vinyl [LP]

The TYR-era Black Sabbath lineup reunited in 1995 when Powell and Murray returned to record FORBIDDEN. It was the bands 18th studio album, and its last for nearly 20 years. (In 2013, Iommi, Osbourne and Butler released Black Sabbaths final studio album, 13.) FORBIDDEN, produced by Ernie C of Body Count, the hard rock band fronted by rapper/actor/Sabbath fan Ice-T, who appears on the song Illusion Of Power. Since its release, sonically improving the album has been one of Iommis pet projects.

He explains, I was never happy with the guitar sound, and Cozy was definitely never happy with the drum sound So, I thought it would be nice to do it for him in a way. He adds, I just felt that, without changing any of the songs, there was an opportunity to go back and bring out some of the sounds and make it more what people would expect Sabbath to sound like.
