\u201cWe don\u2019t just want to play Black Sabbath \u2013 we want to feel Black Sabbath from the bottom of our hearts.\u201d With this mission in mind, the American all-female formation Black Sabbitch returns to Z7 two years after their acclaimed Swiss debut, ready to transport us once again back to the 1970s with songs from the early days of the British metal pioneers. <\/strong><\/p>\n Black Sabbitch are no ordinary tribute band. The four women from the USA have impressed even the most devoted Sabbath fans and earned the respect of critics and musicians alike. Sharon Osbourne personally invited them to open for Ozzy. They rocked the iconic Kiss Kruise as well as the legendary Cal Jam alongside Iggy Pop and Foo Fighters. Shortly afterwards, Dave Grohl shared photos of the band\u2019s performance on his social media channels, writing: \u201cWe were mesmerized and couldn\u2019t take our eyes off them.\u201d By now, Black Sabbitch have become true festival favourites, regularly sharing stages with some of the world\u2019s biggest acts and thrilling Black Sabbath fans with their intense club shows. Their setlists often vary, featuring both all-time classics and long-forgotten gems from the defining Ozzy era of the Birmingham legends. \u201cWe\u2019re not just another tribute band \u2013 we are the female Black Sabbath,\u201d says drummer Angie Scarpa with confidence. Formed in Los Angeles fourteen years ago, the band never set out to simply replicate Black Sabbath\u2019s songs. \u201cI\u2019ve always been a huge fan of the band, but I didn\u2019t want to just play covers in another boring \u2018hey, we sound like the records\u2019 kind of group. It had to feel right from the start \u2013 like what it must have been like to see and hear Black Sabbath in 1972.\u201d And with their shows, the band consistently succeeds in transporting audiences straight back to the Seventies. With songs from the early years, when Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward set out from the West Midlands to conquer the world with their heavy, dark and groundbreaking sound. Black Sabbitch played their very first show in West Hollywood in summer 2013 and have been touring regularly across the USA ever since. In 2022, they expanded their activities to the UK, and in 2024 they performed at Wacken and played further dates across mainland Europe, including their Swiss debut at Z7. Diebuehrers.com wrote about their November 2024 show: \u201cWith strong stage presence and outstanding musical ability, they powerfully brought to life the dark and heavy sounds of songs like \u2018War Pigs\u2019 and \u2018Children of the Grave\u2019,\u201d and \u201cthe audience celebrated every minute of this intense set.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" BACK TO THE BEGINNING \u201cWe don\u2019t just want to play Black Sabbath \u2013 we want to feel Black Sabbath from…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":18243,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[151],"product_tag":[223,213,224,95,125],"class_list":{"0":"post-18250","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-event","7":"product_tag-classic-rock","8":"product_tag-female","9":"product_tag-hard-rock","10":"product_tag-heavy-metal-en","11":"product_tag-stoner-rock-en","13":"first","14":"instock","15":"virtual","16":"purchasable","17":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/z-7.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/18250","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/z-7.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/z-7.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/z-7.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/z-7.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18243"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/z-7.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18250"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/z-7.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=18250"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/z-7.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=18250"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/z-7.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=18250"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
