Black Sabbath announce new album; Bill Ward nowhere to be found.

Aging metal-gods Black Sabbath have announced plans to release a new album in 2013, but without Bill Ward, which makes us both sad and enraged. Don’t drummers take enough of a beating as it is (womp)? Give the man his share and let’s get the lineup back to original while we still can!!

Press Release:

BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND (January 13, 2013)–Today, the 13th of January 2013, rock legends BLACK SABBATH have announced the title of their new album, 13, which will be released this June (exact date TBA). The original BLACK SABBATH–OZZY OSBOURNE (vocals), TONY IOMMI (guitar) and GEEZER BUTLER (bass)–have recorded the album primarily in Los Angeles and were joined at the sessions by drummer Brad Wilk (Rage Against The Machine). Produced by Rick Rubin (seven-time Grammy winner, two of those as Producer of the Year), the album will be released on Vertigo (worldwide) and Vertigo/Republic in the U.S. 13 marks the Grammy-winning, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees’ return to Vertigo, the band’s original label; it’s the group’s first studio album together since 1978’s Never Say Die! They have sold over 70 million albums together.

In advance of the album’s release, BLACK SABBATH will head to New Zealand, Australia and Japan for live performances (see below for tour dates). Additional tour plans will be revealed in the coming months.

Postal Service reunion in the works? Is @coachella turning up the heat for 2013???

According to a super vague internet post this morning, it appears that The Postal Service may have a reunion up their sleeves, and all signs thus far point to Coachella being the culprit.

For the record, Goldenvoice rules, and this would be something to behold if it in fact does happen. Stay tuned for more deets as they arise.
