Little known fact that Depeche Mode had an almost identical cover as Born Again for their "New Life" single a year or two before Sabbath. The babies image originally appeared on the cover of a British magazine called Mind Alive back in 1968.
Born Again is also a GREAT album. I like all the Ozzy years and Dio years... And this Ian Gillan vocal contribution was on-point. You always have good content buddy.
It's so weird you posted this video _now_ of all times. I've had an insatiable urge to hear this album all week. Great metalheads think alike! It's an underrated classic for certain. I've always said if I ever had kids they'd look like Black Sabbath's 'Born Again' album cover.
This is such an awesome idea and I love how these turned out. I think my favorites are Tyr and Dehumanizer. I love the blue and purple for Tyr and the gold text on Dehumanizer is great!
I absolutely love your version of the Sabbath Bloody Sabbath cover. I wish the band themselves would release that as a t-shirt design, I'd buy one in a second.
That's awesome! All the covers look great, you did a great job. My favourite original album art work are Black Sabbath, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Mob Rules.
Very clever and unique upload my brother.great job!!! First of all born again in my opinion its really great album.and the cover art its amazing. Love the version covers of headless cross + heaven and hell.. ruthless metal you rule! thank you for all this great videos
These were all wonderful to look at. Be cool if you could do the greatest hits albums, live albums, and The Devil You Know too. But, I know this takes time. Again, awesome work, friend.
Sabbath bloody Sabbath has always been my favorite album and I always thought the title was in the wrong place…this is also my favorite rendition that you did…The Headless Cross is my 2nd favorite. Reminds me of a Hammer horror movie poster. Well Done!🤘🏻
Very interesting post. I can't begin to think how much time it took to make all these. The mob rules and eternal idol one looked pretty cool actually. Lots of detail you got nailed down though!
I like what you did with the cover art but, I clicked on this thinking you had changed the EQ settings on all of the albums to make them Sound like Born Again! LOL!!! It would have been an awesome video!
Born again is my all time fav Black Sabbath álbum.........músic wise and cover wise so I really enjoyed your i dea of changing the covers to a Born again format. Loved all of them especially Heaven and Hell.
Enjoyed video. Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath looks awesome. I started listening to Ozzy/Dio Sabbath back in mid nineties. I finally got around to the late catalog a couple years ago. Tony Martin was actually a phenomenal lead vocalist. I guess I just assumed it would be terrible because the band essentially disowned it. Ironically the IRS albums are now $500 plus collector's items. Forgot to mention Born Again also one of my favorite newly discovered albums.
Yeah, it's a shame business always screws things up. Same thing seems to be happening with Megadeth where you can't buy a fresh new copy of the old albums for less than a mortgage payment.
My personal favorites? Your versions of Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Mob Rules. And to be honest, I think I prefer your version of the Mob Rules cover over the original. And I happen to really like the original cover for that one.....
Great job..Sabotage album cover is boring but otherwise majority works though i will leave Heaven and Hell cover as it was originally intended.Born Again is a very solid album. Gillan give it his all to impress and Iommi and company is at the top of their game.😎
I like Sabotage, Seventh Star, and Vol 4 with this new colors. And also since u mentioned Born Again, are u planning on doing Deep Purple album ranking anytime soon?
I really think that Technical Ecstasy's edit is better than the original, since the original is just really bland and weird whites and browns and yellows, but with the edits you gave it seems a bit more well made. Though, you still can't save a bad album cover, it'll always be bad no matter what you make it into.
While Paranoid is my favorite Black Sabbath album, the cover artwork for it never struck me as particularly good. I mean, I know it was originally going to be titled War Pigs, and the swordsman on the front is supposed to represent warfare. But like when did any soldier's uniform ever look like that? (For comparison, the cover artwork for Iron Maiden's "The Trooper" single and Megadeth's album So Far, So Good, So What both had a much stronger vision of war sensibility). I'm not sure that your version really redeemed Paranoid. But it was an intriguing alternative take on it. The best Black Sabbath album COVERS in my humble opinion, are their debut, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, and Mob Rules. Of these three, I think Mob Rules benefited most from your artistic vision. As cool as the original is, bringing that red into the figures and foreground makes it all the more frightening and striking. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath also benefited from deepening the red coloring. But I'm not as enamored of the blue background for that one. Blue and red are my favorite colors, but sometimes blue fails to convey the scary factor the way black or grey does. (Although the original Sabbath Bloody Sabbath album artwork didn't use those colors either). This was cool, though. Thanks.
as much as that cover was horrible the album wasn't that bad , Zero the hero ; disturbing the priest ; thrashed. the other covers would look cool with the blue and red 👍good video. heaven and hell looks absolutely awesome
s/t- I like it Paranoid- Original is better MOR- OH HELL NO Volume 4- no Sabbath Bloody Sabbath- I like it Sabotage- fangs are dumb Technical Ecstasy- OH HELL YEAH Never Say Die- decent Heaven & Hell- nah The Mob Rules- I like it except for the Yellow logos Seventh Star- STOP GIVING TONY IOMMI FANGS HOWS HE SUPPOSED TO FUCK LITA FORD?! Eternal Idol- Original is better Headless Cross- Original is better Tyr- I like it Dehumanizer- Original is better Cross Purposed- Nah Forbidden- Nah 13- Nah More misses than hits, but I hit the like button out of respect for your hard work.

ah, cool. :D
Yes , Sabbath definitely used the exact same image .
Very known fact all over social media for 2 years now.
@@glennwarlock1555 Oh, sorry then. Do you think I should go back and delete the comment since everybody already knew about it?
@@Frank_nwobhm No. I didn't know. I always understood the album cover was taken from the image in a medical magazine.
Born Again is also a GREAT album. I like all the Ozzy years and Dio years... And this Ian Gillan vocal contribution was on-point.
You always have good content buddy.
Thank you Sir, I do my best.
Cool idea. I think you should make it a series.
Also, off topic, Born Again is criminally underrated album. I use the title track as an alarm.
naah, it takes way too much time. :) Cheers!
Waking ⏰️ to Ian Gillan 😌 screams, that's perfect 👌
Your version of Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is really awesome!
Thank you Sir
It's so weird you posted this video _now_ of all times. I've had an insatiable urge to hear this album all week. Great metalheads think alike! It's an underrated classic for certain. I've always said if I ever had kids they'd look like Black Sabbath's 'Born Again' album cover.
haha. sounds scary. ;) Cheers!
Not sure why this album wasn’t popular. I think it’s one of the best.
I find the vocals and the production a bit weird but the music is excellent.
This is such an awesome idea and I love how these turned out. I think my favorites are Tyr and Dehumanizer. I love the blue and purple for Tyr and the gold text on Dehumanizer is great!
Thank you Sir, glad you liked 'em. :) Cheers!
The rework of Sabbath Bloody Sabbath looks sick as hell. Same as Technical Ecstasy.
Thanks boss. Cheers!
Cheers!
Forbidden looks so cool 😎
Those ALL look really awesome! I like the comic book feel of the colors. Great job and awesome video!
Thanks god.
That cover is pretty good and the record has a atmosphere very special to me.
Yes, it's a weird and freaky album for sure. Cheers!
Mob Rules easily is my favorite of these and I feel would make for a great alternative album art.
Thanks boss! Cheers!
This actually is a very neat idea! Well done Ruthless Metal, enjoyed the video 🙌
Thank you, yeah it took forever to do all of these in photoshop since it's like 13 + 3 others. 16 in total. :D
Great dark album! I was 16 and saw this tour,Ian was killer singer on this album,so heavy brother! Thank you man!
Thank you Sir! Cheers!
I absolutely love your version of the Sabbath Bloody Sabbath cover. I wish the band themselves would release that as a t-shirt design, I'd buy one in a second.
Thank you, yeah that would have been something.
Yes it looks awesome!
Certainly an interesting idea. Also love the Born Again Love ❤️.
It's a cool album even if the production ain't easy on the ears. :D Cheers!
That was fun, I think my fave one is Sabbath Bloody Sabbath red and blue version
yeah that one turned out good I think. Thanks. Cheers! 🍻🍺
That's awesome! All the covers look great, you did a great job. My favourite original album art work are Black Sabbath, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Mob Rules.
Thank you, Cheers!
Great job on the covers. Sabbath should take notice and use your new artwork
Hehe thanks
One of my favorite Sab lps. I for one LOVE the woozy boots trudging thru mud at the bottom of the ocean mix.
Cheers!
Very clever and unique upload my brother.great job!!! First of all born again in my opinion its really great album.and the cover art its amazing. Love the version covers of headless cross + heaven and hell.. ruthless metal you rule! thank you for all this great videos

I've done some of them, they are on my instagram and in my facebook group and on discord.
Ironically your color scheme perfectly fits into the Black Sabbath - Deep Purple collaboration that Born Again actually was
Cheers!
Sabbath bloody Sabbath has always been my favorite album and I always thought the title was in the wrong place…this is also my favorite rendition that you did…The Headless Cross is my 2nd favorite. Reminds me of a Hammer horror movie poster.
Well Done!🤘🏻
Thank you, Cheers!
Great video.Born Again was always my favorite Sabbath cover🤘🏻
Thanks, Cheers!
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath looks fantastic in the Born Again colors! Great job. I like the heaven & hell too
Thank you Sir!
Very interesting post. I can't begin to think how much time it took to make all these. The mob rules and eternal idol one looked pretty cool actually. Lots of detail you got nailed down though!
It took a few weeks. :D Thanks boss!
Love all your versions of the Black Sabbath albums. Especially the first album Sabbath Bloody Sabbath Heaven and Hell and Dehumanizer. Great job.
Thanks boss. Cheers!
I like what you did with the cover art but, I clicked on this thinking you had changed the EQ settings on all of the albums to make them Sound like Born Again! LOL!!! It would have been an awesome video!

Thanks boss! 🤘
They turned out very good. Font change is nice too. Good job.
Thank you Sir!
BLUE , RED AND YELLOW! \m/ \m/ brutal!! I would buy stickers or t shirts 👕 of your born again remix art
I'm not sure I'm able to sell those due to copyright. :D
This is crazy,love it!!!
thanks. :D
Well done, I liked this episode. A little weird and niche, particularly since so many people hate this cover (I like it), but you did a good job.
hehe, yeah, it's not for everyone. I love the cover though, perhaps even more than the album itself. :D
Very interesting topic. Great video, man!
Thank you Sir
Gotta say this was a fun silly premise. I liked this one. If you're ever unsure of topics for videos, this kind of silly stuff is good too. :)
yeah, but this took months to do and nobody saw it so that won't happen again haha
Really like alot of these - sabbath bloody sabbath and tyr are my favorites
thanks! Cheers!
I like the concept! Sabbath Bloody Sabbath was my favorite.
Thanks Sir
Your version of Paranoid is a huge improvement over the original. I wish they reissued it like that!
haha nice. Cheers! 🍻🍺
I appreciate your creativity man
Thank you Sir!
At first I thought it was unnecessary,but fun, then from Mob Rules onwards that was some great alternate artwork!
Thank you!
Nice job man, they look great!
Thank you Sir!
I'm not kidding you by saying your version of Sabbath Bloody Sabbath looks great
Thanks man. Cheers!
Enjoyed video. Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath looks awesome. I started listening to Ozzy/Dio Sabbath back in mid nineties. I finally got around to the late catalog a couple years ago.

Ironically the IRS albums are now $500 plus collector's items. Forgot to mention Born Again also one of my favorite newly discovered albums.
Yeah, it's because of Sharon and Ozzy, but the Tony Martin albums are excellent and even better than a lot of the Ozzy catalogue if you ask me.
Yeah, it's a shame business always screws things up. Same thing seems to be happening with Megadeth where you can't buy a fresh new copy of the old albums for less than a mortgage payment.
I love that Mob Rules cover!! Looks bad ass
Good stuff! Cheers!
My personal favorites? Your versions of Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Mob Rules. And to be honest, I think I prefer your version of the Mob Rules cover over the original. And I happen to really like the original cover for that one.....
Good stuff, Cheers!
Born again is probably my favorite album after headless cross by sabbath
nice. :D
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath looks awesome, I did enjoy a lot the Debut, Never Say Die and Paranoid!
nice, Cheers!
Great job..Sabotage album cover is boring but otherwise majority works though i will leave Heaven and Hell cover as it was originally intended.Born Again is a very solid album. Gillan give it his all to impress and Iommi and company is at the top of their game.😎
thank you, Cheers!
Very cool! Great work 👏
Thanks. 🤘
I thought you were gonna do the music. Lol
Now I’m going to listen to Born Again
I need to learn all the instruments first. hehe Cheers!
Fun and original idea! I thought Mob Rules and Tyr actually look better than the original with the Born Again colors!
Nice, thank you Sir!
Awesome.more of this please.
hehe, thanks
I like what you did with Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, in particular. 👍
Thanks boss!
Hey it's great ! Good job !
thank you Sir
My favorite Sabbath album.... 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Cheers!
I've never understood why people think the Born Again cover art is ugly. I think it looks awesome. Dehumanizer, on the other hand, is hideous.
I agree! Cheers!
Cool!. Think the debut looks the business 👍
Thanks. :)
fantastic!!! they need to have this in their reissue series, good Job tho
hehe thanks. Cheers!
Love it!
Cheers!
Thumbs up for your lot of work!
What was the riff played at the very end of this video? I seem to remember it, but long ago!
A big cheers!!!
I think it's just some youtube audio library bullshit. :)
@@RuthlessMetalYT But where it was stolen from? This interests me, I will try to find out. Hear me later.
And: Cheers, brother! ;)
I like Sabotage, Seventh Star, and Vol 4 with this new colors. And also since u mentioned Born Again, are u planning on doing Deep Purple album ranking anytime soon?
Not in the plans right now, but we'll see what the future holds. Cheers!
Awesome!!!
Thank you, Cheers!
Love this. Heaven and Hell and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Cross Purposes were my favorite
Thank you Sir. :)
Hail black sabbath
Cheers!
interesting experiment...thanks for doing that. The "Paranoid" cover looks the coolest to me in this style. "Heaven and Hell" was my least favorite.
The heaven and hell and sabbath bloody sabbath were my favourites. haha :) Thanks! Cheers!
What do you think of born again
I like the songs, I'm not the biggest fan of some of Gillans vocals and the production isn't the best. but otherwise it's a great album. Cheers!
Seventh Star made me laugh man great job
Cheers! :D
I really like the "Born Again" album, eccept for the mix. It is being remixed and remastered by Tony Iommi, so I'm hoping for better sound quality.
would be cool to see if there's an improvement.
Because of this video, threw on
born again for motivation while mowing the lawn.
Nice, Cheers!
you should try crossing totally different albums from different bands with each other (for example: Ride the Lightning x Transilvanian Hunger) or smth
haha, that would be wild. :D
Dude just cool!! Enough said!😂🤘
Thanks boss! 🤘
Headless Cross looks great!
Thanks boss!

Excellent approach!
Never thought about that!
A little typo on Technical Ecstasy but it's a minor issue!
was there a typo? :O
damn, I screwed that one up. haha
Ecstacy instead of Ecstasy hehehe
Nevermind, is an excellent video!!
🤘lol video🤘great idea🤘

No it's great.
@@RuthlessMetalYT sorry it’s just not
Black sabbath born again kick ass a lot. 😀👍🤘🎸
Yes Sir! Cheers!
I LOVE sabbath bloody sabbath!! Needs a t shirt
hehe
cool video idea
Thank you Sir
The new Sabbath Bloody Sabbath cover is a winner 👍
thanks, Cheers!
Heaven and hell is also amazing, needs a poster. 😊
heaven and hell is in there. :D
I don't know why, but for some reason I have always thought that the Mob Rules album cover art was similar to Van Halen - Mean Street
it looks like a pile of dirt. :D Cheers!
I dare you to do all Iron Maiden covers in the style of Dance of Death!
haha, that would probably take forever. :D
The best sabbath album without Ozzy. I’m lucky to have it on vinyl
Cheers!
Black sabbath is the best heavy metal band that ever lived. 😀👍🤘🎸
together wirth Priest and Mercyful Fate, Gotham City, Candlemass, Heavy Load. yeah ;) Cheers!
@@RuthlessMetalYT I agree. 😀👍🤘🎸
hehe
No matter what anyone says about the Born Again there is no denying that it represents the album cover
total weirdness. Cheers!
I like Paranoid, Sabbath bloody sabbath and maybe some others.. can't remember now. Though giving fangs and nails to band members was kinda bad imho!
cheerios!
I think the first album had the best cover
Cheers!
Why do I think of a Beach Boys album when I look at that version of Master Of Reality, lol
haha I don't know.
Can’t find your Facebook page/group.

Born Again has always and still is my favorite Black Sabbath album. They sound like the house band of Hell with Born Again.
hehe, good description. :)
mob rules the best ! excellent for me also the best sabbath cover ever and one of the best albums with that trashed song , metal greetings☠🍻🍺🍕
Cheers!
Best looking: Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Heaven and Hell
Funniest: Sabotage, Seventh Star
hehe, Cheers!
as much as that cover was horrible the album wasn't that bad , Zero the hero ; disturbing the priest ; thrashed. the other covers would look cool with the blue and red 👍good video. heaven and hell looks absolutely awesome
Thanks boss! Cheerios
@@RuthlessMetalYT no problem 🤘
On close examination it really is a bad album cover, but I like the music so much I never really noticed before.
I mean it's technically not an advanced piece of art, but it's chilling and the colors just pop. I love it!
Brilliant! 😂😂😂
Thanks boss!
