More than a year-and-a-half after Black Sabbath first announced their reunion, the Godfathers of heavy metal have finally begun their North American tour. Sabbath will be stateside until September, and the band started off the long-awaited tour in Houston, Texas last night (July 25).
Although Black Sabbath’s plans were stalled, the band’s first album in 35 years to feature Ozzy, Tony and Geezer, ’13,’ was released in June of this year and gave Black Sabbath their first No. 1 debut in the United States. With that success already cemented in the group’s history, Sabbath have finally hit the road in North America for a full-fledged tour.
Sabbath performed a set jam-packed with classics last night in Houston, unleashing songs such as “Iron Man,” “N.I.B.” “Snowblind, “Fairies Wear Boots” ‘War Pigs’ and ‘Paranoid.’ The act brought out some new ’13′ material as well, playing ‘God is Dead?,’ ‘End of the Beginning,’ ‘Methademic’ and ‘Age of Reason.’
