Ninth Star remastered
Emerald Sabbath is proud to announce that the Ninth Star album remaster is finished and available to download. The album has been remixed and remastered by Ellen Morgan and Kevin Poree with new takes on Die Young, Hole In The Sky, In For The Kill and Stonehenge, along with a brand new recording of Dave Walker singing Changes. I have fullfilled my dream of doing this project and singing on the album with ex Black Sabbath members, notably Adam Wakeman, Bev Bevan and Laurence Cottle on Changes. Only the first 1000 cds are of this mix. Hope you all enjoy Ninth Star remastered!
Emerald Sabbath project
My name is Michael Suilleabhain Bundade. I am from Castletownbere in West Cork, Ireland. I have been a Black Sabbath fan since 1983 and in May 2015 I decided to do this project of Black Sabbath’s music in classical form. I got the idea while watching a performance of Swan Lake in January 2015 in the UK. It started with just the track Changes, and now has six songs and five instrumentals. Along with 11 ex Black Sabbath members, graphic designers, producer and string arrangers all of whom worked with Black Sabbath. It is done as a tribute to Black Sabbath and I hope you will all enjoy the album Ninth Star when released.
Along with 10 members of Black Sabbath, Emerald Sabbath has three ex-sabbath designers/artists in Richard Manning and Colin Elgie (Technical Ecstasy) and Hugh Gilmour (Born Again); 2 former string arrangers – Will Malone (Sabotage, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Never Say Die) and Mike Lewis (She’s Gone, Technical Ecstasy).
Production of Ninth Star’s She’s Gone was done by former Black Sabbath producer Jeremy J Lewis (Headless Cross) and Ellen Morgan of Dockside Studios.
The English Chambers Choir with a brand new recording of Supertzar with former Black Sabbath session harp player Skaila Kanga, and now Emerald Sabbath is proud to introduce a very special guest, legendary bass player Rudy Sarzo.
