(Mon 31st / 8pm / £2)
Heavy Heads pay tribute to the orginal heavy metallers this Halloween with blistering footage of the band on tour at their peak in 1970. Featuring the original line up of Ozzy Osbourne, Toni Iommi, Bill Ward and Geezer Butler unleashing an unstoppable arsenal of Paranoid-era songs, they would never again recapture the sheer monolithic power of their legendary live shows from this period. From a time well before The Prince of Darkness went in league with the devil (or at least MTV) having snorted one ant too many, and with a metal/doom revival apparently underway, this is a timely reminder of a what an important band Black Sabbath once were.
