Information
All of the tracks in Nativity in Black are covers of classic Black Sabbath material, mostly by heavy metal bands. The name comes from the commonly assumed, but incorrect, meaning of the song title "N.I.B.".
The band Bullring Brummies is made up of Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler, Sabbath drummer Bill Ward, Judas Priest vocalist Rob Halford, Obsessed guitarist Scott "Wino" Weinrich, Fight guitarist Brian Tilse and Jimmy Wood on Harmonica. Their cover of "The Wizard" on the first volume is their only recording.
The album was certified Gold by the RIAA on 4 December 2000.[1]
