BLACK SABBATH - HEADLESS CROSS
FOR I BELIEVE SATAN LIVES
IN THE SOULS OF THE DYING.
IN THE SOULS OF THE DYING.
In 1989 Black Sabbath came out with Headless Cross, at the time Black Sabbath was seen as a band that had passed their prime. But I don't consider that to be anything but a lie.
Most people seems to refer to 70's when they talk about Black Sabbath in their prime but in my opinion they were even better in the 80's. They certainly peaked then. From Heaven and Hell, Mob Rules to Headless Cross, the decade belonged to Sabbath. At least in my maybe not so humble opinion.
The title track with the punchy drums is just awesome. I love the title track. I consider it to be a top 10 Black Sabbath song of all time but it's not even my favourite song on the album. When Death Calls. Wow. That one is amazing. One of the best metal songs I've ever heard in my whole life.
¨Tell me not fear of the flames means that heaven is closer

¨Tell me not fear of the flames means that heaven is closer
For I believe Satan lives, in the souls of the dying
Misguided Mortals, You'll burn with me
Spirit of man, cannot be freed.
When Death Calls - Heaven is closer
When Death Calls - Feel the heat of the flames from the souls of the dying
When Death Calls - here it comes, here it comes, here it comes
When Death Calls - You're gonna burn¨
Headless Cross, the most misunderstood album in Sabbath's discography. For me this is a five out of five record but it's still somewhat anonymous in Sabbaths huge discography. Simply because it's not Ozzy or Dio singing, that's at least my thouhts on it. Black Sabbath had also lost some popularity over the last couple of records so I guess nobody expected them to come out with such a masterpiece.
Whatever the grumpy Ozzy fans think, don't get fooled because Headless Cross is truly a masterpiece, there's just no denying that.
