With Black Sabbath’s 2016 The End Tour launch now just a week away, comes exciting news about a new special limited edition CD, The End, to be sold exclusively at shows on the legendary band's massive worldwide final tour.

Featuring original artwork by Shepard Fairey/Obey Giant, the CD is comprised of eight previously unreleased tracks: four songs are outtakes from Black Sabbath’s worldwide #1, Grammy Award-winning album 13 and four live songs from the band's critically acclaimed 13 World Tour.

The CD features Ozzy Osbourne (vocals), Tony Iommi (guitar) and Geezer Butler (bass), along with Brad Wilk (drums) on tracks 1-4, Tommy Clufetos (drums) on tracks 5-8, and Adam Wakeman (keyboard) on tracks 5-8. Tracks 1-4 were recorded at Shangri La Studios in Malibu, CA and produced by Rick Rubin, mixed by Andrew Scheps at Punkerpad West and recorded by Greg Fidelman. Tracks 5-8 were recorded and engineered by Greg Price and mastered by Robert Vosgien at Capitol Studios Mastering.

The End tracklisting:
 
“Season Of The Dead”
“Cry All Night”
“Take Me Home”
“Isolated Man”
“God Is Dead?” (Live Sydney, Australia 4/27/13)
“Under The Sun” (Live Auckland, New Zealand 4/20/13)
“End Of The Beginning” (Live Hamilton, ON Canada 4/11/14)
“Age Of Reason” (Live Hamilton, ON Canada 4/11/14)

Beyond the collaboration with Shepard Fairey, Black Sabbath will celebrate artists each night of the tour by commissioning exclusive posters for each market on The End tour. An example of the artwork is below:

Black Sabbath have released a sneak peek video, taking you behind the scenes of rehearsals for their final tour ever. The clip reveals that drummer Tommy Clufetos (Ozzy Osbourne) will indeed be behind the kit for the dates, replacing estranged Black Sabbath drummer Bill Ward.

The full video will be released this Friday at 10 AM PST, in the meantime check out this teaser:

On the heels of their much-anticipated performances in North America, Australia, New Zealand and Europe, Black Sabbath will end the epic journey they began nearly five decades ago with another run of North American dates in fall 2016. These shows will follow a mix of summer headlining and festival performances throughout Europe.
 
The second run of North American dates kicks off August 17th at Jones Beach Amphitheater in New York and includes stops at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles (where the band last performed a sold-out show on their wildly successful 13 world tour in 2014), Chicago, Philadelphia, Toronto, Detroit, and Dallas, among others, before wrapping September 21st at AK-Chin Pavilion in Phoenix, AZ.

The massive 2016 world tour by the greatest Metal Band of all time marks The End for Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler as they close the final chapter in the final volume of the incredible Black Sabbath story with this tour. Black Sabbath's The End farewell tour promises to surpass all previous tours and will feature the band's most mesmerizing production ever. An updated video announcement can be found below.
 
When this tour concludes, it will truly be The End, The End of one of most legendary bands in rock 'n roll history... Black Sabbath.
