This is Pod of Doom, a podcast dedicated to the British band Black Sabbath! The hosts of Every Pod You Cast return to discuss all things Sabbath: Justin Mancini of TheCineMaverick.com & Cinema Joes, Chris Mancini, and Randy Allain of Media/Lit will be covering the Ozzy Osbourne and Ronnie James Dio eras of the metal pioneers.
In the 10th official episode of the season, Chris, Justin, Randy, and special guest Eric Morgan (professional musician and bass guitarist) discuss the second Sabbath album with Ronnie James Dio. They talk about how “metal” Gandalf fighting a balrog is, imagine Dio creating multiple versions of himself á la Ash in Army of Darkness, and appreciate having an actual musician explain what makes Sabbath great. And of course, they recommend other artists they’ve been enjoying for your listening pleasure.
