War Pigs / Luke's Wall (Remastered 2012)Black Sabbath3.0 out of 5 stars · Jul 27

luke's wall is the reason i'm here honestly. that outro is a band letting a tape machine collapse on purpose, finger jammed on the post, fast forward, and the reverb tail just hangs there after the machine's already gone. half the forest metal i love ends on some version of that trick and none of them found it first. the 2012 mix is where i cool off. brighter, harder, and there's that dropout people keep pointing at, and the guitars sit too far forward now for a song that's supposed to arrive out of a siren. went back to the walpurgis take on the ozzman comp the same night. witches instead of generals, worse tape, way more room in it. that's the one i keep.
