ZAKK SABBATH To Release Recording Of BLACK SABBATH's Entire Debut Album

22 May 2019

Vertigo Records issued the debut album by BLACK SABBATH on Friday, February 13,1970, and the world was never the same. Legendarily recorded in a single day in October 1969, the earth-moving self-titled set closed the book on hippie optimism with its dark magic and ushered in a brand-new genre, setting the metal template for decades to come.

Exactly 50 years to the date later, ZAKK SABBATH, the all-star BLACK SABBATH cover band featuring guitarist/vocalist Zakk Wylde (BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, OZZY OSBOURNE), will celebrate the first chapter in the SABBATH catalog with a reverently rendered tribute, simply titled 'Vertigo'. ZAKK SABBATH's aim is to faithfully re-record the album in the spirit of the original recordings: live in a fully analog studio, direct to two-inch tape in a single 24-hour period. A film crew will document the process, culminating in a single album and DVD release limited to just 500 copies and delivered to purchasers on February 13, 2020.

ZAKK SABBATH's 'Vertigo' will never be available commercially or digitally in any other format beyond these initial 500, which will be delivered in a single package containing a vinyl LP, CD, digital download code, and DVD.

The pre-order for ZAKK SABBATH's 'Vertigo' was sold out within two hours after it was made available on Tuesday.

ZAKK SABBATH also features bassist Rob "Blasko" Nicholson and drummer Joey Castillo.
