The Tony Martin era of Black Sabbath is certainly underrated. Regardless, Bands like Sorcerer are bringing fans of the old Sabbath and fans of RJDio/Ranbow to this age in time of underated greatness of musical genius that is often overlooked by algorithms and what "they" (big corporate music) want you to focus on. Kudos to the fantastic band "Sorcerer" for this excelant tribute to an overlooked classic from the "Headless Cross" album.
Folks embroiled in the Dio vs. Ozzy controversy missed the entire Tony Martin era. It was brilliant and this is an amazing cover of an amazing song. Thank you, Sorcerer!
Agreed, and so is 'Tyr' - I always have the opening strains of "Anno Mundi" running through my head when it's late September/early October and the skies are changing.....
The Tony Martin years (especially the "Headless Cross" album) were massively influential to the European power metal wave in the nineties and beyond. That influence in America was, unfortunately, not as great due to the competing hair metal/grunge trends, but I loved all the nineties Sabbath albums.
There was nothing wrong with "hair" glam metal, great genre lots of great bands, albums and songs. Hell, Van Halen were the first. It was the trendy grunge and alternative in the 90s, and then the worst abomination of all the trendy anti metal nu metal that was the problem.
I think the Sabbath purist dimwits were a major problem here, too. "It's not Ozzy!" "It's not Dio!" WAAAAAH! Yes, I know why both guys were vital to metal, but they eventually did their own thing(s), too. However, Sabbath soldiered on, and the Tony Martin albums were terrific!
Sharon being a vindictive bitch and strong arming venues to not have post Ozzy Sabbath play there and a shit record deal with I.R.S. were major factors. Tony Martin era Sabbath is an overlooked monster.
I was in high school when Headless Cross and Tyr were released, so the Martin years are "my" era of Sabbath, and hands down my fave. And yeah, that incarnation was highly influential in the Swede scene and beyond, with Sorcerer (beginning with their demo comp from '95), Evergrey, Tad Morose, Mundanus Imperium, and many more.
A few of my top Sabbath albums are Headless and TYR.. Just 2 under appreciated albums that should have been massive... Its good to put these songs in another light.
I loved the awesome work and the singer’s wonderful voice and feeling, Tony is my favourite singer in the world and this is the best cover I have seen so far!!! You guys ROCK!!!
The Tony Martin era of Black Sabbath has for TOO LONG been underrated and underappreciated because of purist NONSENSE. These TM albums were fantastic and full of feeling!
My goodness! What a tribute to such an underrated era in the legacy of Black Sabbath. Amazing rendition by all especially vocalizing that Tony Martin style and feel. Thanks gent's🤘
Occasionally something like this happens. No disrespect to Black Sabbath in anyway or shape. This is incredible!!! Truly an amazing job!!! I'm going to say in my opinion the cleanest cover of Sabbath going!
I actually stumbled onto this album for the first time last week and this was my favourite song so this cover is perfect timing! Don't know how I overlooked this era of Black Sabbath for so long! Amazing cover and killer vocals! Tony Martin is not for the faint-hearted but your singer nailed it. Keep up the awesome work fellas, loved your cover of Gates of Babylon too 🤘
Massive props for having the balls to tackle a Martin-era Sabbath song. Headless Cross is a fucking masterpiece, and people shouldn't ignore it just because Ozzy or Dio aren't on it.
@@justinbiggs4620 I agree, the Martin era is very underrated and I applaud your efforts to elevate a phenomenal album (seriously, Cozy Powell drumming on a Sabbath album? Incredible!). But even if people don't make it to Headless Cross, I hope they can appreciate your great rendition of a classic tune.
@@justinbiggs4620 As it should be for all! Cozy is massively underrated these days, his work with Rainbow defined much of the 80s, and his work with Sabbath cemented his surreal talent.
I‘m totally not into covers - probably because mostly well-known songs are covered. This one is a real gem from an underappreciated album and musical era of Sabbath. It gives me shivers and goosebumps - and so does this awesome cover, too. Thanks for keeping the album alive this way!
Very difficult to cover this masterpiece but this one is Great! Amazing vocal performance and great also the insrtumental part. Plus: this one also has a proper finale! Good work!
@@justinbiggs4620 as much as I love Black Sabbath - TI's solos aren't always the best. Especially noticable in this version - these solos are fit the song amazingly well. Well done guys!
"....or your tiiiime willll blisterrherrrr.." I can listen to that shit all day. Bravo 👏 Sabbath was meant to create this jam, only for yous guys to perfect it.
I first heard about sorcerer through the gates of Babylon cover. Needless to say I was super impressed. Such a great band with great musicianship, riffs, and vocals. You guys are like a blend of Black Sabbath, candlemass, and a hint of dio era rainbow. Please never stop making music 🤘🏻🤘🏻
The album Headless Cross became a game changer for me back in 1999. The Tony Martin era of Black Sabbath is one of the most important seasons in my music life. I applaud this lovingly re-crafted version, it shows complete commitment to the original.
Sorcerer never stops to surprise me ! (in a good way of course). When musicians join to make a band, you quickly know if they have that sparkle which makes the difference. And you guys really have that sparkle. The five of you together are unique.
If anyone from Sorcerer is reading this, I would like to say that this cover totally rocks! I like it along with Gates of Babylon. Keep up the amazing work. You guys make great metal and you guys are an amazing band. I do have one question. Have you ever considered doing a concept album? Also, I would like to ask another question. Have you guys ever considered covering a Dio song to pay tribute to Ronnie James Dio?
Wow great cover, especially the vocals and shedding solos! Cool to see some love for this often overlooked era of Black Sabbath! Like many others already commented, the Tony Martin albums are some of my personal favorites 🤩

We love you all, guys!! Cheers from Brazil!!
The Tony Martin era was incredibly underrated and overlooked and it's a damn shame.. those five albums that he did with Tony iommi were incredible
Yea, I am not sure why it has been like that. There are speculations, of course. We wanted to give some love to this Era.
I agree with you 100%
100% true. In my opinion these albums are the best BS albums ever!!!
The The Tony Martin era was a huge departure for Black Sabbath, and maybe that wasn't for everyone, but I thought he was fantastic.
@@justinbiggs4620 one of the reasons, supposedly, is because the rights to the these records lie with (defunct) IRS Records, or so I heard. Apparently Tony is trying to get it sorted out so they can be re-releaded properly

I thought no one could "out-Martin" Tony Martin, but you just did. I will be playing this video at my funeral. Thank you.
Its hard to beat Tony Martin vocals, great cover but not better than the original, but i like the solo better
Definitely reminds me like 80s rock just discovered this band listening to a college radio station blown away
What a absolute fantastic cover. Well done guys.
A few of my top Sabbath albums are Headless and TYR.. Just 2 under appreciated albums that should have been massive... Its good to put these songs in another light.
Thank you, it’s nice for true sabbath fans like myself to see bands paying their respects to this often overlooked era of Sabbath’s history
Awesome cover \m/ So glad that the underrated Tony Martin era of Sabbath is getting more recognition. Cheers from Iran.
One of the better Black Sabbath covers I’ve ever heard ever
I loved the awesome work and the singer’s wonderful voice and feeling, Tony is my favourite singer in the world and this is the best cover I have seen so far!!! You guys ROCK!!!
Damn those vocal harmonies are goosebump inducing! Excellent work! \m/
I fucking love you guys for making this
Thank you! ❤
Sick!! Headless Cross is an incredible album🤘
The most underrated album in the history

Excellent !!!! super groupe ! 🤘
best black sabbath song if you ask me, this game gives me goose bumps
I never thought in my lifetime I would ever hear this song again correctly, thanks to the whole band !
Tony Martin era Sabbath is massively under-appreciated but you do it justice and show just how good it actually was.
Brilliant :)
Excellent analyse

We, in Sorcerer, appreciate this era. Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. 🤘😎
this era is my favorite BS era, I just hope they would release deluxe edition of those albums...
Such a damn good Cover of this timeless Sabbath track!
Thank you for bringing light to the most underrated and the best era of Black Sabbath. Such a great song, and you guys did an amazing job covering it.
Great performance, Tony Martin and Tony Iommi will be honoured!
A great cover of a great song! They did the original nothing but justice and honor!
That acoustic wow

MASTERPIECE!!!!!!!
This is probably my favourite Black Sabbath song, and I loved every second of this cover!

He saw the world, dim with the glow of the vertical sun
His skin crept cold knowing that this was the hours of dying
Misguided mortals, you'll burn with me
Spirit of man, cannot be freed.
When Death Calls - This is the hours of dying
When Death Calls - The spirit of man cannot be freed
When Death Calls - There's no tomorrow
When Death Calls - Just an evil shadow
Tell me not fear of the flames means that heaven is closer
For I believe Satan lives, in the souls of the dying
Misguided mortals, you'll burn with me
Spirit of man, cannot be freed.
When Death Calls - Heaven is closer
When Death Calls - Feel the heat of the flames from the souls of the dying
When Death Calls - here it comes, here it comes, here it comes
When Death Calls - You're gonna burn
Don't look in those sunken eyes
Don't look and you'll stay alive
Don't laugh at the face of death or your toungue will blister
Can't die until Satan says you die
And Satan takes your soul
In the face of death or your toungue will blister
Don't look in those sunken eyes
Don't look and you'll stay alive
Don't laugh at the face of death or your toungue will blister
Can't die until Satan says you die
The Devil takes your soul
With all his wrath he calls the reaper
When Death Calls - This is the hours of dying
When Death Calls - The spirit of man cannot be freed
When Death Calls - There's no tomorrow
When Death Calls - Just an evil shadow
When Death Calls - Feel the heat of the flames from the souls of the dying
When Death Calls - You're gonna burn, burn, burn
When Death Calls - Heaven is closer
When Death Calls - I can feel it, gonna take you down
Great Singer! Amazing cover
Finally! The greatest melodic doom metal band in the world covers the worlds greatest song!
