Our mission: to bring you the classic Sabbath sound you heard when you were 15 in your bedroom with your headphones on and you dropped the needle into the groove. Maybe you were a bit scared, but you loved it...
 

Reborn in October 2017 from the ashes of previous lineups, core members Doug Brothers (guitar) and Harry Masterbone (bass) joined forces with Lance Lombardo (vocals) and Jeff Sexton (drums) with the singular goal of recreating the ultimate Ozzy era classic Black Sabbath experience.​ No costumes and wigs, just pure Sabbath sound as close to the original records as possible, from fan favorites to the deepest, darkest, heaviest cuts.

​

As of June 2021, we bid a fond farewell to Lance and welcome new lead vocalist Phil Fourtin into the BOF family. Phil brings his considerable talents and lifelong passion for Black Sabbath and Ozzy to the band, and will stay true to our core philosophy, which is to continue making people say "close your eyes and it sounds just like Sabbath'.

 

What the fans say...

​

"Without question... the best Black Sabbath cover band I have ever seen. If you are a fan of the original Black Sabbath line up you will be blown away!!!" - John Gallicano

 

"Saw these guys play in Naugatuck last time. Amazing Sabbath band, if you like old Sabbath with Ozzy you don’t want to miss them when they play. Hit/played/sang every note same as the studio Sabbath albums. Can’t wait to check them out again." - Steve Humanick

​

"It's not easy to pay tribute to this level of talent but these guys pull it off from top to bottom and all points in between. These aren't just your "A" side singles either. Deep tracks that true Sabbath fans will not only appreciate, but in many ways, rediscover as well. Pretty awesome stuff, really." - Matthew Butler

​

"The best Black Sabbath tribute band you'll see. Fantastic show in Bristol last night!" - Melissa Davilio

"If I close my eyes it's like listening to the real thing, you guys f***'n rock." - Donna Tringhese

​

"I've seen Black Sabbath 4 times when I worked security 1998 - 2007. Four Ozzfests including first one ever at Greatwoods, Mass in 98. Bit Of Finger sounds the closest ever to original Sabbath."
