I misspoke — it’s not their first new song with Ozzy in thirty-five years, but 13 will be their first new full-length with him in that amount of time. Alas, that info doesn’t make this song any cooler. -AR

OH NOES!!! What will the producers of CSI  do now that “God is Dead,” the first single from an Ozzy-led version of Black Sabbath in thirty-five fifteen years, has leaked? Sure, it’s a different new song, “End of the Beginning,” that’s set to debut on the crime procedural, but their thunder has now clearly been stolen.

Especially because this song is exactly what I predicted it would be: Iommi wrote a good riff, Rick Rubin managed to make Ozzy sound okay in the studio, and compared to “War Pigs,” it ain’t shit. If this wasn’t a Black Sabbath song, no one would care.

Black Sabbath’s new album, 13, comes out June 11.
