Black Sabbath Live: Gathered in Their Masses (DVD), Republic Records, Music & Performance

Black Sabbath: LIVEGATHERED IN THEIR MASSES was recorded April 29 and May 1, 2013 in Melbourne, Australia when the band-Ozzy Osbourne (vocals), Tony Iommi (guitar) and Geezer Butler (bass)- kicked off their world tour in support of their 13 album, which entered the charts at #1 in 13 countries (including their first #1 in the U.S.). Meanwhile, Black Sabbath are headed to South America and Mexico in October for a headlining stadium tour (where they're expected to play to more than 300, 000 fans) and then onto Europe in November and December. As for the US, they played a 20-city U.S. tour last Summer. The trek includes stops in Holmdel, NJ (NY-area), Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Boston, Tinley Park (Chicago), San Francisco, Seattle and Toronto, ON before wrapping up September 3.

With the release of 2013's 13, metal deities Black Sabbath came back not just with their first studio album since 1995, but with a return to the inspired sludginess and demonic crunch of some of their classic early material. The band embarked on a massive tour in support of the album, and Gathered in Their Masses captures live performances from the first two kick-off gigs in Melbourne, Australia. All of the band's original members are present except drummer Bill Ward, and the group powered through set lists somewhat light on material from newer album 13, but padded generously with crowd favorites from the band's untouchable first six albums. Newer jams like "End of the Beginning" sit beside metal blueprints like "Iron Man" and "War Pigs," and the sound of a post-apocalyptic soiree can be heard in the energy of the crowd and the band alike. ~ Fred Thomas, Rovi
