Black Sabbath

"God Is Dead?"

BY Alex HudsonPublished Apr 18, 2013

After months of hype and buildup, Black Sabbath have finally unleashed their first new song since announcing their reunion back in 2011.

The previously promised "God Is Dead?" comes from the band's upcoming 13, and it's a nine-minute epic that moves from grungy arpeggios to distorted rock-outs, heavy blues jamming and dramatic Nietzschean howls about a deceased creator.

The version of the song streaming below includes some rather intrusive audio tags from iHeart Radio, but it gets the point across nonetheless.

Black Sabbath will release 13 on June 11 via Vertigo/Universal.
