Music10 bands that fill the emptiness of Black Sabbath, second magazine

The longing for Black Sabbath Have you hit there? How about getting to know bands who carry and will continue to carry their torch lit by the parents of heavy metal for over 50 years?

In order to placate the absence of Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi and company, the British magazine Classic Rock He listed 10 groups that could, in their words, “fill the void” left by Sabbath.

The prepared list includes since a contemporary band of Black Sabbath – the Pentagramformed in 1971 – even newer names, such as Witchcraft, Green Lung, The Sword and Lucifer.

In general, the 10 selected groups gravitate around doom metal, sometimes also hanging for branches such as Stoner Rock, psychedelic rock and hard rock.

Let’s look at some examples:

Saint Vitus

One of the most interesting choices. Graduated in 1978 and headed by the guitarist Dave Chandlerthe Saint Vitus Born in Los Angeles, California (USA), and stood out as one of Doom’s main exponents in the 1980s.

Says the text of Classic Rock:

“Just like the Pentagram Before them, the band was strictly cult, but channeled Sabbath’s dark spirit and monolithic sound. A union in the mid -1980s with Scott ‘Wino’ Weinrichfrom The Obsessedled to classic albums like Born to Die1986, and Vfrom 1990, but the band was dark and too heavy for the mainstream metaleiros. They are still out there, spreading their unique mark. “

Electric Wizard

Doom metal icon of the 1990s, the Electric Wizard It is the most beaten bandwidth that the band Black Sabbath could have. Such devotion, however, did not prevent the group from Bournemouth, England, from releasing great copyright records, such as Eat my fanatics …. (1997) and Dopethrone (2000).

Classic Rock defined them accurately:

“As if they were born from the bowels of their own Tony Iommi in a ritualistic spree driven by drugs, the andLectric Wizard It is arguably the most devotee group of Sabbath. The name of the band, by itself, is already an ode to the gods of metal, formed by the two tracks of Sabbath, ‘Electric Funeral ‘ E ‘The Wizard ‘. At the forefront of their worship are foggy riffs implanted in dropped SGS and a delightfully malignant charm. “

Lucifer

Among the most recent choices is the Lucifer. The band was founded in 2014, in Germanyby the vocalist Johanna Sadonisbut then it became an international project, including the Swedish drummer Nicke Andersson (Entombed, The Hellacopters). Perhaps it is the most accessible among the listed.

The description of Classic Rock explains:

“THE Luciferfrom BerlinIt is closer to the Occult Rock strand on the influence of Sabbath, crossing magical images with Hard Rock, a touch of psychedelia from the 1960s and heavy riffs. Led by vocalist Johanna Sadonis, who sounds like a mixture between the powerful Ann Wilsonfrom Heartand Dio. “
