Back in 2000, Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath released a solo album that featured 10 different singers on songs he wrote. There’s songs with Ozzy, Phil Anselmo, Serj Tankian, Henry Rollins, Ian Astbury, Billy Idol and a few others. There is one song though that has always stood out to be the most and that song is “Black Oblivion” which was written by Tony Iommi and Billy Corgan. When you hear this song you can definitely get some awesome Sabbath vibes but, there’s something more to this song. It’s an epic song for one, and two, since Billy Corgan is such a giant Sabbath fan, you can really hear how much this meant to Billy to work with Tony. This is one of those songs that if The Smashing Pumpkins added to their set next time they tour, I would absolutely lose my mind. I really do love this song. I also have another idea for this. Since there is going to be a Final Black Sabbath show, and Billy Corgan will be there, how about “Black Oblivion” gets played live and with Tony Iommi joining Billy! That would be awesome!
