Newly reformed heavy metal pioneers, Black Sabbath have announced that their as-yet-untitled new album will be released in April 2013.

The original line-up of Ozzy Osbourne, Tonny Iommi & Geezer Butler have been working with producer colossus Rick Rubin on their first album since 1978's 'Never Say Die.'
