EMERALD SABBATH - NINTH STAR

BAND EMERALD SABBATH

ALBUM NINTH STAR

LABEL PHD

OUT 15/2/2019

OUR RATING 80/100

The 'Ninth Star' album is a great an ambitious epic rock & classical music tribute to BLACK SABBATH, that features 10 former members of Black Sabbath and several amazing players:

Adam Wakeman (Black Sabbath/Ozzy Osbourne), Bev Bevan (Black Sabbath/ELO), Neil Murray (Black Sabbath/Whitesnake), Terry Chimes (Black Sabbath/The Clash), Laurence Cottle (Black Sabbath/The Alan Parsons Project), Ron Keel (Black Sabbath/Ron Keel Band), Vinny Appice (Black Sabbath/Heaven & Hell), Dave Walker (Black Sabbath/Fleetwood Mac), Bobby Rondinelli (Black Sabbath/Rainbow), Tony Martin (Black Sabbath/Headless Cross), Rudy Sarzo (Ozzy Osbourne/Whitesnake) and The English Chamber Choir.

Other Emerald Sabbath contributors include Will Malone and Mike Lewis (Sabotage/Technical Ecstasy) Mike Exeter (Black Sabbath/Judas Priest), Jeremy J. Lewis (Headless Cross), Mike Lewis (She's Gone) Skaila Kang (Royal Academy Of Music) and Black Sabbath album graphic designers Richard Manning and Colin Elgie (Technical Ecstasy) and Hugh Gilmour (Born Again). Adam Wakeman was the first to contribute to the project, with keyboards on ‘Changes’, and then it snowballed into this final product.

A lot of the artists also played on the originals (such as Vinny Appice, who joined Sabbath on drums for the Heaven And Hell tour, and The English Chamber Choir on Supertzar).
