“13”, the first BLACK SABBATH record in 35 years to feature singer Ozzy Osbourne, guitarist Tony Iommi and bassist Geezer Butler all playing together, has entered the official Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) chart at position No. 4. This is the British metal legends’ first Australian Top Ten album since “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath” back in 1974.

“13” is likely to sell between 120,000 and 130,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release, according to industry web site Hits Daily Double. The estimate was based on one-day sales reports compiled after the record arrived in stores on June 11 via Vertigo/Universal Republic. This marks BLACK SABBATH‘s return to Vertigo, their original label, and the group’s first studio album together since 1978’s “Never Say Die!”

Details of the album’s deluxe edition surfaced on April 19, with the band revealing that the eight-song effort is accompanied by three bonus tracks called “Methademic”, “Peace Of Mind” and “Pariah”.

Several versions of “13” are available for order, including a standard CD, a double CD that includes a second disc of exclusive bonus audio, a heavyweight vinyl album in a gatefold sleeve and the aforementioned “Super Deluxe Box Set”, which contains the double CD, the vinyl album, an exclusive DVD documentary on the band’s reunion, 13 photographic prints and hand-written lyrics.

01. End Of The Beginning (8:05)
02. God Is Dead? (8:52)

09. Methademic (5:57)
10. Peace Of Mind (3:40)

The drum tracks on the album were laid down by RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE sticksman Brad Wilk following original drummer Bill Ward‘s decision to bow out of the reunion.

Ozzy told an Australian radio station that “13” is “mind-blowing,” adding, “It’s better than my wildest dreams; it’s so good.”

SABBATH kicked off its world tour in support of “13” on April 20 in Auckland.
