Black Sabbath - "God Is Dead?"

The voices echo in my head, is God alive or is God dead?
Rating: 9/10
The song/Interpretation: An epic return for metal band Black Sabbath, staring with a pounding bass and Ozzy Osbourne's singing it combines classic Black Sabbath with the sound from the time with Ronnie James Dio. To me it tells the story of a man who is questioning his religious beliefs after all the crazy things that have been done in the name of religion such as 9/11. The brilliant thing though is that the song doesn't clearly side with either God is dead or God isn't dead but leaves it completely open up the listener interpretation.
The album/artist: This song is the first single released from Black Sabbath's upcoming album "13" which will be the first album released by the band since 1995 and the first album with singer Ozzy Osbourne since 1978. It has all the original members of the band except drummer Bill Ward.
