We conclude our Black Sabbath retrospective with the Lost Era. Aside from a brief reunion with Dio in the early 90's, 1983-1996 was a fairly lost time for the band. This is the least covered era of Sabbath. And while there are reasons for that, there was some great music released during this time. And even if you aren't a fan of the music from this time, the story is very interesting. Back for the conclusion is Gene Vogel and even Ron Keel joins the show to discuss his moment with the band.
