Another tribute album from Dwell Records, this time we have the masters of heavy metal, this time is the turn for the mighty Black Sabbath, i want to include that i had the opportunity to see them live here in Greece for first time with the original line-up and it was a dream come true. Any way, back to this tribute, you will have the chance to hear twelve tracks from Black Sabbath and i can say that the half albums are well known in the metal scene. As you can see the most bands comes from the extreme side of metal, like Acheron and Vital Remains who comes from the black metal side, Vile from the death metal but actually this thing gives another interest in the final result. The album begins with Evoken and Snowblind and with Evil Incarnate and Symptom of the Universe, i think are the weakest covers in this release. I will begin with the Cephalic Carnage and Hand of Doom, the band really did a great cover in this track, even if Cephalic Carnage isn't my cup of tea, they make an interesting cover adding their personal sound. Another great cover is from Acheron and Black Sabbath, the band keeps the doomy atmosphere and add some black metal vocals and here we have an interesting combination after that we have a death metal version of Lord of this World from Vile, with a lot of groove elements and not the extreme death metal that we have used to from this band. Last but not least we have the best track in this tribute, Vital Remains and War Pigs, an eight minutes epus from Black Sabbath and from Vital Remains, with interesting ideas from them. I wish i had hear the Hell Rules 1 in order to compare it with the Hell Rules 2.
