13

13 is the nineteenth and final studio album by the English heavy metal band Black Sabbath. It was released on 7 June 2013 through Republic Records in the US, and Vertigo Records internationally, acting as their first studio album in 18 years following Forbidden. It was the band's first studio recording with original singer Ozzy Osbourne and bassist Geezer Butler since the live album Reunion, which contained two new studio tracks. It was also the first studio album with Osbourne since Never Say Die!, and with Butler since Cross Purposes. Black Sabbath's original line-up first began work on a new studio album in 2001 with producer Rick Rubin. The album's development was delayed over a 10-year period, as Osbourne resumed his solo career while the rest of the band members went on to pursue other projects, including GZR and Heaven & Hell. When Black Sabbath announced the end of its hiatus on 11 November 2011, the band announced that they would restart work on a new album with Rubin.
