Advanced warning: the new The End Machine album, The Quantum Phase, will get you a speeding ticket if you are not careful. The feeling of pure freedom and raw energy will take you back to high school. In fact, you may want to roll down your windows, crank up the radio as loud as it would go without a care in the world.

Zakk Sabbath, the Zakk Wylde-fronted Black Sabbath tribute, makes up for a four-year wait by releasing a double-dose – Doomed Forever Forever Doomed, out March 1, 2024 through Magnetic Eye Records. Looking back, where 2020’s Vertigo covered the Birmingham legends’ self-titled 1970 debut (and took the original issuing label name as a title), Doomed Forever Forever Doomed dusts off the next two times – 1970’s Paranoid and 1971’s Master of Reality – also released through Vertigo.

What is there to say about Scott “Wino” Weinrich that has not been written already? Starting his first band, Warhorse (in the ’70s), he eventually changed the name to The Obsessed by the end of the decade. Before long, Saint Vitus, the Los Angeles American Doom pioneers, came calling, and he helmed three full-length records in the late ’80s – 1986’s Born Too Late and 1988’s Mournful Cries for SST, before 1990’s V for Hellhound.
