Cancer Bats, Kylesa and Ulver are among the bands who’ll appear on a Black Sabbath tribute album.
The project is under production via Cleopatra Records. It was revealed by Kylesa, who posted the planned playlist online, saying: “It’s finally happening – Kylesa is interpreting Black Sabbath.”
They’ll cover Paranoid, while Cancer Bats are to tackle Into The Void and Ulver will take on Solitude.
Of the 14 tracks on the unnamed album, six are from 1970, one each from 1971 and 1976, two each from 1972 and 1975, and one is from 1980.
The completed work is expected next year.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
