Black Sabbath – Seventh Star Vinyl LP [1986]

Seventh Star by Black Sabbath is a distinctive album that marked a significant departure from the band’s earlier work. Released in 1986, this album was originally intended as a solo project by guitarist Tony Iommi but was ultimately branded under the Black Sabbath name. Featuring Glenn Hughes on vocals, known for his work with Deep Purple, Seventh Star showcased a blend of hard rock and blues influences, differing from the heavy metal sound the band was famous for.

The album includes standout tracks like “No Stranger to Love,” a powerful ballad that became one of the album’s signature songs, and “Heart Like a Wheel,” which highlights Iommi’s masterful guitar work. “In for the Kill” and “Turn to Stone” are other notable tracks that reflect the album’s unique blend of styles. While Seventh Star didn’t achieve the commercial success of previous Black Sabbath albums, it remains a significant part of the band’s discography, illustrating their ability to evolve and experiment with different sounds.
