Black Sabbath - Headless Cross (Official Audio) 

Tony Iommi, godfather of Metal

I was 13 when I got this album on cassette. It blew my mind. The strong vocals, the evil guitar sound and the powerful drumming. Today, this is still one of my all time favourite albums!

Tony iommi Guitar🎸 Tony Martin Vocal🎤 Cozy Powell Drums🥁😪 Laurence Cottle Bass Guitar🎸 Geoff Nicholls keyboards🎹😪

Tony Martin is a fabulous singer and great lyricist and this is a fantastic album!👍👍 RIP Cozy Powell you are sadly missed!

One of Sabbath's best albums, one of Sabbath's best lineups.

To me, besides Ozzy and Dio era, this is the best Sabbath album of the Tony Martin era

Tony Martin is the best singer Sabbath ever had, and this has been my favorite Sabbath album since I bought it in 1989.

I'm glad we're all gathering at the official upload of this era of Sabbath's history 🫡

Tony Iommi, the best.

¡Iommi is Sabbath!

It is long over-due that Black Sabbath put the spotlight back on Tony Martin!

Headless Cross is tops in Tony Martin Era. Very underrated.

Tony and Tony, the best!

So underrated, Iommi riff master king.

I honestly think Headless Cross and Tyr are Black Sabbath's prime, and best music ever. All, Lyrics, Cozy drumming, Tony's unbelievable guitar, Tony Martin and all the rest, they were all outstanding too. Thanks for sharing, Tony. ❤

I still remember when I borrowed this vinyl as a teenager, I couldn't stop listening to it and looking at the cover! This song impressed me most of all, to this day I still consider it one of my absolute favourite metal songs 🤘✝🤘

These drums sound like a bomb or something... incredible... and Tony is my favorite singer!

The vocal track is perfect, very well produced and the singer has a really nice tone. The instrumental tracks are also great, the vocals just stand out to me as particularly perfect, rich but with just the right amount of treble at the top.

When we talk about Gods, we always come to "but who created God(s) ?" Well.... Tony created the Gods of Metal, because he is far beyond that. If Tony didn't exist, we all would be listening to something else, for there isn't Metal in a Universe without Mr Iommi

Iommi is the Master of Reality!

Laurence Cottle did a great job on this album. Knew him when he played with The Fents. Love this album.

A classic of the Martin era. I bought this album on the day it was released in 1989 at the age of 14. I then tormented my parents on a summer road trip vacation with it on repeat play in the car... for a couple of weeks! ❤

Easily the best Black Sabbath era

If they ever get around to doing a remake of the first Highlander film, this NEEDS to be the Kurgan’s theme!

A masterpiece of a track, on a masterpiece of a record!

I wonder if anyone else on here believes as I do that Tony Martin is the greatest Black Sabbath vocalist? Ozzy, Dio, Gillan...all great; Martin, the greatest!

This is my favorite song of Tony Martin era 🤘

my first big show in my life was Headless Cross tour in Hungary, we came from Czechoslovakia with a travel agency. I was only 15 years old! I still love it the same! Masterpiece.

This albun changed my life!!

When my friends heard this the first time, we were blown away! I particularly loved the interview with Iommi and Powell where he said Tony was playing him a bunch of his collected riff ideas cassettes and Cozy goes ‘That's crap, that's crap, nope, no good, awful…’ lol That really inspired me to be less precious about my own songwriting and just play what fits the moment, instead of trying to remember why _this_ was worth keeping (if it wasn't just because the tape kept running!) And yeah, there were far too many who attributed far too much to Powell's playing. He was just exactly the right player at exactly the right time. He wasn't some kind of magician. It's more beautiful to me that four (or three) ordinary blokes got together to write something so spectacular, than making up some metaphysical bull. Love it! Thanks for cleaning it up!

Welcome to the summer of 2024! 🤘

incredible song... This is one of my favorite songs. I sing this song every day.

I've been a steadfast listener of this glorious album since it's release and love hearing it getting a little shine and polish with a fresh remaster along with the attention it has always deserved

this, when death calls, cross of thornes and the trilogy (Odin's court, tyr, Valhalla) top!

My favorite track of Sabbath all time :)

It's a shame that all this material was out of print for so long

One of the most underrated era and album❤ isn't it?Beside Forbidden every Tony Martin era album is great.For me headless cross and tyr is the best.

The heart and soul of Black Sabbath Toni Iommi. More!

I was 13 years old when I got this album , my brother-in-law hook me up, after hearing this album I was stuck and picked up my bass guitar and never let go of it….Thank you, Tony 🙏🏻 Godfather of metal Period 🤘🏻☠️🤘🏻

✞✟Sabbath Headless Cross, I love the mist & fog in this video, ah heheeheee lol!🤘 ⃝𖤐𓆩🤘𓆪🤟⃤⩜⃝🤘⃤\m/⸸⁶⁶⁶⛧🤘

Absolutely loved Martin's vocals, always thought of them as very unique

Cozy Powell - hammer of the gods

3:02 this part is really cool that’s not on the video version

Tony iommi the Riff Metal Master🤘🏼

I’ve loved this song for years. Amazing vocals and the guitars sound absolutely huge.

Amazing! ✞

Great track.Nice drum intro by Cozy Powell r.i.p.Very reminiscent of Heaven and Hell/The Shining in song structure.

Great track, album, lineup!

Огромное спасибо Tony Iommy за подаренные эмоций. Гитара звучит великолепно, очень широкий заполняющий и мистический звук! Желаю Вам творческих успехов и самое главное здоровья!

Personally I was mainly looking forward to the Forbidden remix/remaster and I have to say it exceeded my expectations. I was pretty disappointed by the most recent Sabbath re-release which was Live Evil. The bass mainly sticks out to me on the new version of Forbidden, the bass and drums have a lot more punch. The guitar rips especially on Can't Get Close Enough. There is a lot more "space" in the sound too.

Used to walk around the cemetery at night listening to this when i was working as a security guard

Absolutely awesome! I love this album. I originally bought this in 1989 when I was 17 on cassette and later on CD recently and I remember after loving "Eternal Idol" , I did think this album took the band one step darker toward the old sound again, more like the DIO era around "Mob Rules" but Tony Martin's voice did and does have its own style though it is very reminiscent of DIO, he sings a lot higher in the studio but live, a lot like DIO. I still haven't gotten the new boxset yet but I can't wait to get it very soon. I still own all of the Tony Martin era stuff on IRS vintage CDs. I was lucky enough to see Sabbath in the Tony Martin era live in Chicago in 1995 on the "Forbidden " tour. I recently just bought from overseas on Ebay and original IRS cassettes from back in the day. Everything else from from Black Sabbath, I have on LP, CD, cassette, and 45s. I own multiple formats of every possible album and all of the super deluxe vinyls, videos, DVDs and boxsets released thus far. I am a lifetime fanatic of Black Sabbath, like a religion to me. I have a collection of bootleg shows in the hundreds. I have seen you live 26 times since I was 8 in 1980 when I first got Greatest Hits from my Uncle Dave(rest his soul). I had first gotten into KISS through my older friend Chacho in a Mexican metal garage band two doors up the street from me in Island Lake IL. Then my Uncle Dave heard I was into metal and he then began giving me birthday and Christmas presents like Black Sabbath Greatest Hits, Heaven And Hell, Ozzys first two solo albums Blizzard and Diary Of A Madman and Jethro Till and soon I discovered Jimi Hendrix and RUSH. After that I was off into full blown hard rock addiction forever. I joined a Columbia Record Club through a rock magazine and before long I had every Sabbath album, every KISS album, and also listened to thrash metal too and classic rock. I joined my first band at 14 singing lead vocals. I also play guitar and write my own music, very Sabbath influenced. Over the years I sang for Nocturnal Doom first, then Witchcross, then Shadowlord, then Ravensthorn, and finally After Forever:Black Sabbath Tribute. We play live all over the Midwest and are based out of Chicago. We plan on recording an original doom album too but currently we do a full set of mostly Ozzy era stuff but also some DIO era. You can hear some of my original music and my Sabbath tribute at my You Tube playlist on my site. at..ru-vid.com/group/PLYyeuYX636i3bzaS7OA6w2IlKWJ-yf6hf&si=1Q6YONYtpSbMbh38

It's always a good day when I have Tony's riffs in my ears.

nice to hear the old stuff but would be great to hear some new stuff...we know you have the tapes ;)

Headless Cross Worcestershire Not far from Where I used to live Miss Birmingham and Warwickshire Good Biker Country. Please buy Headless Cross

Another great accomplishment by the Tony and the band ...I am so impressed with the way Tony has mellowed him s guitar has become through the many years I have followed..1968

I love the Dio & Ozzy years, but for some reason I've always slept on this album, and it absolutely fucks!

Iommi is SABBATH 🔥🔥🔥

Remaster sounds far better. Great advisement by Mr. Iommi. Way way better.

Superb Tony Martin was (dare I say it?) a notch above the legendary Ronnie!

Masterpiece!!!!

Super album

Man, how happy I am right now 😊

My favorite riff from Black Sabbath is from "into the void" Tony i think the song needs to be reimagined it doesn't get the apritiation it should

Tony Best of the Best. 🤘🌎🤘 ✨Т💫l✨

Loud but clear! Although I was hoping for a remaster that is a little less compressed, like the excellent ones that Andy Pierce made for the Deluxe Extended Editions (true remasterpieces with a warm relaxed sound closer to the original LPs in the peak of the Loudness Wars!), I have to recognize that this one brings more clarity and detail to the mix. A matter of personal taste, I guess, and now we can choose... or simply love them both EQally. The songs still rock just like the first time, no doubt about that. The atmosphere of this album is black-magical and it made my day many days and many nights! Celebrating that the Tony Martin years are finally getting the recognition they deserved.

From Russia with love❤;

Il lavoro al basso fatto da Laurence Cottle su questo disco è qualcosa di fenomenale ❤

Thank you, mr Iommi, for fight for this album. They deserves the same respect than the rest of Sabbath's discography. That's a dream becoming truth. And of course, Headless Cross is one of the 5 best Sabbath's albums.

We were waiting for it to be uploaded to Spotify, thank you very much Mr. Iommi!!!! Keep rocking

COZY POWER, SIR TONY MARTIN and the COURT OF THE HAND OF DOOM \m/

This track is missing on the "apple music app" edition .. Best song ever made.. so much feelings!!

This was the album when i first heard of Black Sabbath. One of the greatest with Heaven&Hell❤

My favorite Sabbath album, along with 'Heaven and Hell

Masterpiece 😈

At 3:03 pure magic and therapy for ears. Love that Arabic / Turkish scale used here by Lord Iommi.

Another epic Song of Black Sabbath ! Great !🎸🎸🎸👍

gran disco, buenos riffs, batería poderosa, complementada por esa gran voz de Tony, simplemente grandioso

I was very fortunate as a teenager to be in the company of people that would influence me with this when it first came out. The people outside my circle had no idea, perhaps now it will get the attention and appreciation it deserves. Better late than never as they say... .whoever "they" are. Thank you Mr Iommi 🤘😎❤️

Lembrando a primeira vez que eu ouvi essa faixa. Bons tempos. Tenho saudades.

Took a great album and made it even better!

Esperando TYR en Spotify...

Sabbath forever 🔥😎🤘

Ganhei este LP de aniversário de uma colega de escola quando foi lançado.

love u tony!!!!

Legendary!

when you put your fingers on the strings, it's unique and amazing. I love your work and playing the guitar. I know most of your work and not a little of it.❤️. stay healthy.

Great album fantastic!!!!🤘🏼🖤🖤🌚🌚🌚🌚

Terrific Two Tony tones!

Només volia agrair al senyor @Tony Iommi per l'estima a la història del grup i per revaloritzar els anys amb en Tony Martin al micròfon... Uns discos que mai haurien d'haver estat oblidats!!!

👏👏🍺🍺🤘!!

❤❤❤❤❤🔥🤟❤🌟💫💋

Is there not a head on that cross?

Named after Headless Cross, Redditch. where John Bonham was born.

This needed a remix.....now both forbidden and eternal idol are better sounding albums.. 1 eternal idol.. .2 forbidden 3 headless 4 tyr..5 cross purposes

I’d love a remix of this album as well. I love the songs, but the sound is a bit too 80s for my taste

riff s from hell
