Angels of Death?  Who that track?
The Paradise City thing - it's a pretty similar riff, but since it's a
blues-scale shape, hardly surprising.  But didn't Iommi kinda retread
the riff from a couple of other attempts?  For example the last track on
side B of Never Say Die pretty much has that riff as well, the last riff
in the song.  What was that song called - it's the one after Swinging
the Chain, that flipping stonking instrumental.

Chris.
