Living thrash metal legend Kerry King has named his favourite Black Sabbath album - and fans may not be too surprised to find that it's one of Sabbath's heaviest records. Speaking to Wall Of Sound, the Slayer guitarist says (transcribed by Blabbermouth): " I would take…It's easy and it's hard 'cause I'm a super Dio fan. But I would take Sabotage. Something about the vibe on that record. It's cool. I mean, they're all cool, but something about that one. Maybe Symptom Of The Universe. I don't know. It's nonstop badassery."
Released on July 28 1975, Sabotage was Black Sabbath's sixth studio album and is widely regarded as the final entry in Sabbath's first 'golden run' of records. Recorded at a time when tensions around the band were rising, Sabotage found Sabbath in a battle with their own management and their record label, Vertigo.
