Three of probably the most highly effective metallic bands on the planet have been among the many acts to carry out on the “Again to the Starting” last Black Sabbath live performance on Saturday (July fifth) in Birmingham, England, as Gojira, Pantera, and Slayer all delivered electrifying units.
Gojira carried out “Stranded,” “Silvera,” and their Olympics tune “Mea Culpa” with opera singer Marina Viotti earlier than closing with a canopy of Sabbath’s “Beneath the Solar.” In the meantime, Pantera got here out swinging with a 1-2 punch of their very own classics “Cowboys From Hell” and “Stroll,” earlier than taking up two Sabbath songs: “Planet Caravan” (which they famously lined on their album Far Past Pushed) and “Electrical Funeral.”
Slayer, who reunited to play choose reveals final yr, kicked off their set with “Disciple” and “Battle Ensemble” earlier than protecting Sabbath’s “Depraved World.” The legendary thrash act then performed “South of Heaven,” “Raining Blood,” and “Angel of Demise” to shut out their efficiency, which noticed the group get away into large circle pits.

These units got here after mini-sets from Instrument, Alice in Chains, Gojira, Mastodon, Rival Sons, Anthrax, Halestorm, and Lamb of God, together with a few all-star jams.
Livestream entry to “Again to the Starting” is now available to purchase, with a VOD replay accessible by way of July seventh.
