Dear Misters Iommi, Butler, Osbourne, and Ward,

We Black Sabbath fans have anxiously been awaiting a new Black Sabbath album for almost a decade. This desire has only increased in the context of the reunion of the founding members, the release of the Black Box, and knowledge of recording sessions and new material.

While we do not feel a new album with the founding membership is in any way obligatory, we implore you to consider the loyalty that we have historically and continuously shown you, both individually and as members of Black Sabbath.
