Let’s cut right to the quick: Noise Creep is streaming “Bible Black,” the new single from the artists formerly known as Black Sabbath . It comes off their new album, The Devil You Know, and I really don’t have much to say about it, other than it rocks every bit as much as I hoped it would. Listen to it now and see if you agree.

The Devil You Know drops April 28.

    The intro has a dubious, “heard that before from Dio-fronted bands” sound to it, but it gets to rocking. I could do without the little bit of synth in the background, however.

  • CarlosRamirez

    I’m just glad Ozzy is singing on this track. He would ruin it.

  • carter

    Dio can eat a dick. this sounds just like all his other shitty songs. lyrics about dumb shit, sung at high pitch with power chords. awesome. id rather listen to brokencyde.

  • \m/Eluveitie\m/

    Herbert from Family Guy should cover this song

  • myke

    would be this be a sin to call this black sabbath?? damn iommi’s guitar has a heavy fucking crunch to it. i’m digging this.

  • mahkiavelli

    Ozzy doesn’t have shit on this. This is way more vital sounding than anything he’s put out since “No More Tears”. Heaven and Hell? It sounds like Sabbath to me…. \m/

  • Mike

    Damn, do I love this song, much better than I expected. And holy crap is that guitar heavy, blows bands like Lamb of God out of the water, easily.

    I’m just glad Ozzy is singing on this track.* Fixed, it’s nice to dream, isn’t it? I’m glad Ozzy isn’t singing this track, Dio’s goofy as hell lyrics and pitch have ruined countless otherwise good songs.

    carter sums my view up pretty well, however Tony is in spectacular form, it’s just a shame that this is wasted on Dio, he sounds like he’s heaving throughout the song, and it’s particularly noticeable due to the aforementioned trademark Dio pitch.

  • Hardcore Midget

    I can get why people might not like Dio’s voice.

    But personally, I LOVE the way his voice fits in with the rest of the band.
    I had pretty high hopes for a new H&H record after those three songs they recorded a few years ago. And if this one song is any indication, I won’t be disappointed.

    Goddamn that guitar tone sounds great.

    I vote: WIN!

  • DanyLektro

    This is one of the most beautiful things I’ve heard from all of the 2000s..

  • Aaron

    Say what you will about Dio, I like him and others don’t and none of us will be changing opinions anytime soon, but man you gotta at least give the music credit. We’re damn lucky to still be able to see the true grandfathers of the genre doing it and doing it fucking incredibly.

    If any of us manage to rock half this hard in our 60′s we’ll have something to be proud of.

    Yeah Aaron, great sentiments there, but these guy minus Dio are the fathers of the genre, not the godfathers, and it is great they’re still doing it.

    Or grandfathers, I was thinking of Ozzy, he’s often called the godfather of the genre.

  • Aaron

    Well we’re at least a couple of generations in since they invented them all so that’s where my grand was coming from. I meant it with nothing with respect for the men who made metal before it had a name, believe me.

  • Anthony

    This track is pure win.

  • Selaphiel

    Bible Black? Like the anime porno? Is the song about school girls getting raped by their magic using dick-girl school nurse? Because that would be pretty fucking metal.

    @ carter,,,

    Do you really think Iommi could use any shitty fuckin’ powerchords??

  • fucknut

    Awsome song,and just look at that cover.Very reminiscent of Celtic Frost’s ”To Mega Therion”.

  • dthrasher

    It’s a decent song, but the super-production kind of takes some of the life out of it.

  • Aaron

    @Selaphiel

    See the first thing that came to my mind was the incredible song by King Crimson because I’m not a pathetic anime loving retard.

  • Mark

    Miles beyond any all-chords-cookie-monster “Metal” crap that will release this year.

    Album will be a 10, not much argument about Iommi being at or near the top of the guitarists list. Great to hear new stuff. Like 2008, put me down for 3 shows at least near the front row.
