Though the record seems ten thousand years old, Black Sabbath’s elaborate Sabotage LP just turned 40 this week. Host Ian Christe (“Sound of the Beast”/Bazillion Points) leads an expedition through the smoke-filled halls and arcane passages of Sabbath’s six album, a tortured and harrowing metal masterpiece filled with crushing tracks like “Hole in the Sky” and “Symptom of the Universe.” The influence on decades of metal is felt through the original tracks plus covers of key songs by Pantera, Doom, Sepultura, Metallica, Venom, and others. Know your Roots!
