Join us as we dive into the iconic album 'Mob Rules' by Black Sabbath, released in 1981. With Chris Sutton, author of BLACK SABBATH: THE DIO YEARS!
This album marked a significant point in the band's discography, with Ronnie James Dio on vocals. We'll be exploring the best tracks from the album, including “The Mob Rules”, “The Sign of the Southern Cross”, “Voodoo”, “Country Girl” and the fantastic, “Falling Off the Edge of the World”. A VERY strong album.
The cover art of 'Mob Rules' is also a topic of discussion, as it features a dramatic and eerie illustration that sets the tone for the music within.
The cover of Mob Rules is adapted from a 1974 painting titled "Dream 1: Crucifiers" from a series of paintings by Greg Hildebrandt of the Brothers Hildebrandt partnership.
