Forbidden (2024 Tony Iommi Remix)

Vinyl LP pressing. Digitally remixed and remastered. The Tyr-era Black Sabbath lineup reunited in 1995 when Powell and Murray returned to record Forbidden. It was the band's 18th studio album, and it's last for nearly 20 years. Forbidden, produced by Ernie C of Body Count, the hard rock band fronted by rapper/actor/Sabbath fan Ice-T, who appears on the song "Illusion Of Power." Since it's release, sonically improving the album has been one of Iommi's pet projects. He explains, "I was never happy with the guitar sound, and Cozy was definitely never happy with the drum sound... So, I thought it would be nice to do it for him in a way." He adds, "I just felt that, without changing any of the songs, there was an opportunity to go back and bring out some of the sounds and make it more what people would expect Sabbath to sound like."
