One of the least sold among those released under the Black Sabbath name, but at the same time, it is one of the best in their discography, even better than the acclaimed Heaven And Hell (1980).

 The album, beyond its actual value, also had the merit of bringing Tony Martin into the lineup, a singer with whom Tony Iommi would bring to life a new and prolific course for Black Sabbath.

The review challenges the misconception that Black Sabbath's significance ended after the early 1970s. It highlights The Eternal Idol (1987) as a solid, sometimes epic heavy metal album showcasing Tony Iommi's leadership and Tony Martin's impressive vocals despite a challenging recording process. Though overlooked commercially, it stands out as one of the best in their discography’s 1980s era. The album reflects important lineup changes and a shift from experimental sounds to a heavier style. Explore Black Sabbath’s underrated 80s masterpiece The Eternal Idol and rediscover a lost heavy metal classic today!

 This overrated little movie really disappointed me like few others.

 It is the apotheosis of Arbore’s all-encompassing superficiality.
