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 twelfth official episode of the season, Chris, Justin, Randy, and music journalist/author Daniel Bukszpan discuss the final Sabbath album and the band’s reunion with Ozzy Osbourne. They dig into what constitutes “raw” production values, elucidate an extended metaphor about the “Black Sabbath piñata,” and propose a counterpoint to Iron Man with “Zinc Man.” And of course, they recommend other artists they’ve been enjoying for your listening pleasure.
