Magnetic Eye Records has shared two new songs from the upcoming Vol. 4 [Redux], a 10-song Black Sabbath tribute album with covers by Thou, The Obsessed, and more. This week new takes by Spirit Adrift (watch and listen below). Caustic Casanova and Magnetic Eye also shared a song from Best Of Black Sabbath, a related 15-track covers album out soon.

2020 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the band.

Speaking of Spirit Adrift's choice to cover Supernaut, Nate Garrett says:

Black Sabbath is the reason that I am in a band...They are my favorite band, and I love every era. I saw the video for "Paranoid" when I was about 12 years old, and it was game over. Vol. 4 in particular contains quite a few of my favorite moments from the Sabbath catalogue. Many of my tried and true approaches to guitars were inspired by songs on Vol. 4. The music is classic, but still fresh and groundbreaking all these years later.

1. THOU - Wheels of Confusion
