The Eternal Idol Vinyl
Step into the dark mystique of The Eternal Idol, Black Sabbath’s thirteenth studio album, now resurrected in this 2025 remastered vinyl edition. Originally released in 1987, this record marked a new era for the band, introducing powerhouse vocalist Tony Martin, whose commanding voice brought fresh fire to Sabbath’s legendary heaviness.
Opening with the crushing “The Shining,” the album dives deep into doom-laden riffs and theatrical melodies. Tracks like “Ancient Warrior” and “Glory Ride” showcase a darker, more epic approach, while “Born to Lose” and “Nightmare” drip with classic metal grit. Guitar god Tony Iommi remains the driving force, unleashing riff after sinister riff with signature Sabbath menace.
Though often overlooked in favor of earlier Ozzy and Dio-led eras, The Eternal Idol is a hidden gem—bold, brooding, and surprisingly melodic. Martin’s soaring vocals add a dramatic flair that fits right into the Sabbath mythos, giving this lineup a unique identity that’s finally getting the vinyl treatment it deserves.
Remastered for optimal analog warmth and pressed on vinyl for the first time in decades, this edition breathes new life into a dark classic. The Eternal Idol is Sabbath reborn - moody, majestic, and heavier than sin.
