Odin's Court and Valhalla from Black Sabbath's 1990 album, Tyr. Tony Iommi on guitar, Tony Martin on vocals, Neil Murray on Bass, and Cozy Powell on drums.
When these cds came out noone bought them, I did and I love the Tony Martin era of Sabbath, its great to see that this era is getting the respect and love it deserves.
Funny how these Tony Martin era albums were not very appreciated when they came out, but today we hold them in such high regard. Really great albums indeed; TYR could have followed Heaven And Hell or Mob Rules easily.
For me it was the greatest Sabbath album since "Mob Rules". I had tears of joy streaming down my face as I listened to the cassette when it came out back in 1990, because after wading through the previous three albums (which I love and appreciate fully now), I was so overjoyed that Black Sabbath was BACK, and sounded like a legendary band again. :)
Tony is a wonderful vocalist and human being. Of all Sabbath’s Vox since Ozzy, Dio and Tony’s voices were best suited for the music. Ray, RIP, ( not Ian) Gillian was probably the only other notable vocalist Sabbath had.
Tbh... he just sounds like he's trying to be Dio... but he can't and... i dunno, i don't think i like him that much cause of how similar he is to Dio, which is kinda shameless
Me too, i know all the drum beats, vocal lines, bass lines, guitar lines since i was 17 (50 now). Even i dont play any instrument. Such a great album!!
i have the entire era of black sabbath with tony martin on vocals. tony martin never got the credit he deserved. i never cared for ozzy osbourne in black sabbath !
From a technical standpoint, the greatest Sabbath lineup. As much as I love Dehumanizer, Iommi should have ran with this lineup. This album is gold and arguably the best since Heaven and Hell.
Tony Iommi would have continued with Martin, Cozy and Neil but a reunion with either Dio or Ozzy was worth a ton of money that Sabbath at the time was unfortunately wasn't getting because their current label IRS Records was doing a poor job of marketing them in America. I always wondered if Warner Bros kept Sabbath for Headless Cross and TYR then they would've had much better album sales.
Soon you can and we all can. The Tony Martin boxset is coming out in May for all to buy this Great albums again. ;) its called Anno Domini, you're welcome!
One of the most tastefull rock intros ever. I know a lot of people didn't site TYR as real Sabbath (Ozzy slagged this album to no end) but it worked for me! Tony's voice is outstanding
christschinwon A lot of people were who were Sabbath plans till this day do not recognize the Tony Martin era as a great arrow music but to me Tony Martin was the best singer of Black Sabbath ever had
Ridiculous. I'd say that the 13 album had done what the Seventh Star album already had done decades prior. And what else did Ozzy do with the band? "Retirement" tours. And yet albums like this aren't re-released.
This record was my first contact with Black Sabbath back in 1995...I "borrowed" it from my brother and made a copy on tape. It's still one of my favourite Sabbath albums and very underrated.
Brings memories of Earth’s previous incarnations when ‘mythical’ creatures roamed... I can see the jagged blue mountains of Nordheim out of Robert E Howard’s stories, where the golden-haired Aesir and crimson Vanir carry on their ancient feud, a bright lone star shimmering above the tallest peak. Roiling clouds of the colors red, dark blue, and purple full of sparks. Tundras and dense forests of birch and spruce blanketed in snow and bathed in the silver light of the moon... The last time I saw Wotan, he was chasing a ship of dark elves across the sea. They had stolen something, but I do not know what.
It's a shame that he didn't get more credit. Pretty good voice. I know sometimes it's heard to accept another singer in a band but they made a good choice to have him in the band.
best song of Sabbath w/Tony Martin, IMHO. Fuck Yeah! 🤘🤘🤘🤘 2:42, after such an intro from another dimension, pure fuckin' rock breaks into the scene and I have multiple headbanging eargasms. GLASS OF WATERRRRRRR PLEEEEEEASE!! Fuuuuuck Yeeeeeah!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘 Totally HFU (hooked the fuck up)!

Essa música é linda demais, nos arremete a um momento, uma época que vivemos em uma outra Vida, perfeita ! adoro Tommy e Tony Martin tem uma voz esplêndida, linda, uma magia na voz.
Essa música tem uma vibe meio mágica, me puxa e me deixa numa leveza. De repente me vejo gritando valhallaaa, com o refrão e vem uma energia boa. Isso pq nem estou usando dr0gas
Odin’s Court Lyrics [Verse 1] As you walk alone, the night surrounds you like a shroud The dreams you had were once of love and being proud Misty horizons block your vision of the world But the raven's eyes will show you all you need to know [Verse 2] The land you loved is now so barren and so cold The name of God rings out so high in your soul This time the masters will lead us by the sword And should we fail, then all prevails in Odin's court [Segue] Leading us on, to the land of eternity Riding the cold, cold winds of Valhalla Valhalla Lyrics [Verse 1] The Kingdom of Odin is the Kingdom of Gods Where only souls of the brave may rest in peace But someone among them had the skill of deceit And raised the hand that would open the road to Hell [Chorus] When the winds of Valhalla run cold Be sure that the blood will start to flow When the winds of Valhalla run cold Valhalla, Valhalla [Verse 2] The ring has been broken and a soul must be saved Among the bravest of men who rides to Hell The longships are sailing and the chariots ride And yes the anger of Thor will serve you well [Chorus] When the winds of Valhalla run cold Be sure that the blood will start to flow When the winds of Valhalla run cold [Bridge] So raise your hands Reach and Valhalla will save your soul And raise your eyes Odin will lead us on You might also like Feels Good to Me Black Sabbath Odin’s Court Black Sabbath Paranoid Black Sabbath [Verse 3] They say that history repeats itself Upon the year of the seventh century Well nobody knows, no, you never can tell So you'd better run now and hide away, yeah [Chorus] When the winds of Valhalla run cold Be sure that the blood will start to flow When the winds of Valhalla run cold [Instrumental Break] [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] When the winds of Valhalla run cold Be sure that the blood will start to flow When the winds of Valhalla run cold [Outro] Valhalla, you can feel it in the air Valhalla, oh, you better beware, you better beware Valhalla, you can see it in the space Valhalla, oh, he's the master of this place Valhalla, Valhalla Valhalla, Valhalla Valhalla, Valhalla Valhalla, Valhalla
Albums with Tony Martin was great, especualy this song, I burn guitar on those riffs, but this is other face of Black Sabbath...true Sabbath was with Ozzy...
Tony Martin did a great job on the vocal.. And Cozy Powell on the drums. Headless Cross and Tyr are 2 real great albums... 🙂👍
Tony Martin era was great.
You understand life
Absolutely
Everything They said. So true.
Fuck yea for me better than dio
yes! he was great tobad alot of folks wanted to focus on ozzy
I've been an Ozzy/Sabbath fan for years and had not 1singlefuckofaclue that this existed until 15 minutes ago
When these cds came out noone bought them, I did and I love the Tony Martin era of Sabbath, its great to see that this era is getting the respect and love it deserves.
- Geoffrey James Nicholls Rest in Peace 🎹😭🙏
- Colin "Cozy Powell" Trevor Flooks Rip 🎼😭🙏
I admit, I was one of those hardcore Sabbath fans that didn't appreciate this album when it came out. Now I recognize how great it is.

Hindsight is always 20/20.
Bernardo A. García H.
Thank you my friend. This stuff is gold.
This is the best Tony Martin ever. Except for Nightwing
The best Sabbath album post 1980.
Cozy fucking Powell! 👏👏👏♥♥♥
one of the greatest singers of all time
Gary Sharkey agreed. Terribly underrated, too. Makes me sad. This man has one of the best voices imaginable and so few recognize that.
Totally Agreed!
true
Criminally underrated.
Tony is a wonderful vocalist and human being. Of all Sabbath’s Vox since Ozzy, Dio and Tony’s voices were best suited for the music. Ray, RIP, ( not Ian) Gillian was probably the only other notable vocalist
Sabbath had.
RIP Cozy... the drums here are like sledgehammers on concrete
ROCK ROCK ROCK
Now do not be sediment
Long live Unca Cozy🤘
Powell and Murray..... Valhalla's rhythm section.
Tony Martin's lead vocals are the best thing came out of Black Sabbath!
period! man!
Tbh... he just sounds like he's trying to be Dio... but he can't and... i dunno, i don't think i like him that much cause of how similar he is to Dio, which is kinda shameless
sounds nothing like Dio. Did more good album than dio did with sabbath.@@oliverafton1444
@@oliverafton1444 You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about if you think that his vocals are similar to Dio's
This album was my entire teenage years. I know every inflection and tone and intention of the vocal line. Call me crazy.
Me too, i know all the drum beats, vocal lines, bass lines, guitar lines since i was 17 (50 now). Even i dont play any instrument. Such a great album!!
Riding the cold... cold... winds of VALHAAALLLLAAAA!
So much powerful !
Here I am 3 years later. Still have not heard anything better.
Man, what a great song. The Tony Martin-era Sabbath stuff really is criminally underrated.
i have the entire era of black sabbath with tony martin on vocals. tony martin never got the credit he deserved. i never cared for ozzy osbourne in black sabbath !
Pour moi l'un des meilleurs albums de l'ère Black Sabbath.
From a technical standpoint, the greatest Sabbath lineup. As much as I love Dehumanizer, Iommi should have ran with this lineup. This album is gold and arguably the best since Heaven and Hell.

I'm a huge Tony Iommi and Cozy Powell fan 🤘😎
My favorite of the Tony Martin era albums! Saw them live and he killed it on all vocals.
Best album for me top.
Cozy Powell And Geoff Nichols...R.I.P
Tony Martin . A great singer
Sounds a lot like Dio.
SO glad you joined these songs together so there's no cut between Odin's Court and Valhalla. I've been wanting a version like this forever! Thankyou!
DFR (Damn Fuc*in Right) Brò, like the old LP... what a killer couple. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
a damn shame i can find the ozzy albums everywhere but not this masterpiece
Soon you can and we all can. The Tony Martin boxset is coming out in May for all to buy this Great albums again. ;) its called Anno Domini, you're welcome!
OH SHIT, THIS IS NASTY! Tony Martin era was INSANE for Sabbath, there are so many powerfull songs and riffs!
Immer noch eines der besten hardrockbands aller Zeiten mit der besten hardrockstimme.
One of the most tastefull rock intros ever. I know a lot of people didn't site TYR as real Sabbath (Ozzy slagged this album to no end) but it worked for me! Tony's voice is outstanding
Oz wishes he could phrase and carry a melody like Tony.
Look at Ozzy's work post Sabbath, look at Sabbath's work post Ozzy...They outgrew him.

@@warzIbanez I love Ozzy, but the guy can't sing. He's a performer. This outstrips anything he can do
This record was my first contact with Black Sabbath back in 1995...I "borrowed" it from my brother and made a copy on tape. It's still one of my favourite Sabbath albums and very underrated.
Especially TYR and Headless Cross are such great albums. And Tony Martin was a great singer, he had a great range and his voice was very powerfull.
What a riff what a song, this entire album fucking slays 🔥🔥🔥🤘
I loved this when I was a teenager...the whole album was brilliant
The vocals......nobody will ever do this better.
check out a band called warriors path. they singer gives me some heavy tony martin vibes
I've been in love with Tony's voice for 30yrs, and still listen a few times a week.
@@xoxsilentrealmxox same. It’s love story with no end. It’s the greatest voice of all time
This is the best vocal performance of all time.
I miss great music like this!
Just a f---g amazing album
So raise your hands
Reach and Valhalla will save your soul
And raise your eyes
Odin will lead us on
I'm a hip hop head and i've always loved the vocals on this!!!!!
I love Tony Martin
I think this is genuinely fantastic. Tremendous.
I actually bought this album back in the '90s. I loved it then and I love it now.
Tons of Epicness!
We love you Tony!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Why can't we buy these albums anywhere??? These are the best albums ever written all of the Tony Martin era.
I just bought TYR, Cross Purposes, and Headles Cross on Ebay app. Check that out.
@@colinsavage2160 Oh you lucky bastard 😂
Check eBay, I got Headless Cross and TYR brand new for $15
i have the entire tony martin era of black sabbath on cd ! nothing on the cloud for me. i will always have the music on cd !
@@shamrock32 I think, I bought this version of Headless Cross in 2017 and have to tell you that it is a russian counterfeit.
Best of the Tony Martin era albums IMO 🤔
Riding the cold winds of VALHALLA on a sledgehammer drum solo! 🥁❄️
tony martin🤩
The most beautiful Tony Iommi solo!
VALHAAALLLLAAAA! Hail From brasil
Brings memories of Earth’s previous incarnations when ‘mythical’ creatures roamed... I can see the jagged blue mountains of Nordheim out of Robert E Howard’s stories, where the golden-haired Aesir and crimson Vanir carry on their ancient feud, a bright lone star shimmering above the tallest peak. Roiling clouds of the colors red, dark blue, and purple full of sparks. Tundras and dense forests of birch and spruce blanketed in snow and bathed in the silver light of the moon... The last time I saw Wotan, he was chasing a ship of dark elves across the sea. They had stolen something, but I do not know what.
Ese bajo!! Y el animal de cozzy Powel ,Son demoledores , acompañando ese riff !!! Tony Martin , tremendo vocalista.
I get chills every time I hear Odin's Court and Valhalla. Amazing songs from a brilliant and underrated album!
Слушаю Саббат с 1979 года . Привет с Питера всем фанатам этой группы !
The Sabbath Stones 🙌
It's a shame that he didn't get more credit. Pretty good voice. I know sometimes it's heard to accept another singer in a band but they made a good choice to have him in the band.
Just these 2 songs have given me more goosebumps than all the horror movies combined I've ever watched!
Thanks to Mister Tony Martin and Cozy Powell!
THANKS FOR TONY FOR KEEPING SABBATH ALIVE
I understand well those who think Tony Martin's Black Sabbath is the best. A very great singer!
And some credit to Neil Murray for those great bass lines.

Tony Martin is a so great singer...
When I first heard this I thought it was Ronnie
Im trying not to loose my shit at work listening to this shit lol. Nothing beats the classics
The perfect Heavy Metal vocalist

Odin’s Court Lyrics
[Verse 1]
As you walk alone, the night surrounds you like a shroud
The dreams you had were once of love and being proud
Misty horizons block your vision of the world
But the raven's eyes will show you all you need to know
[Verse 2]
The land you loved is now so barren and so cold
The name of God rings out so high in your soul
This time the masters will lead us by the sword
And should we fail, then all prevails in Odin's court
[Segue]
Leading us on, to the land of eternity
Riding the cold, cold winds of Valhalla
Valhalla Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The Kingdom of Odin is the Kingdom of Gods
Where only souls of the brave may rest in peace
But someone among them had the skill of deceit
And raised the hand that would open the road to Hell
[Chorus]
When the winds of Valhalla run cold
Be sure that the blood will start to flow
When the winds of Valhalla run cold
Valhalla, Valhalla
[Verse 2]
The ring has been broken and a soul must be saved
Among the bravest of men who rides to Hell
The longships are sailing and the chariots ride
And yes the anger of Thor will serve you well
[Chorus]
When the winds of Valhalla run cold
Be sure that the blood will start to flow
When the winds of Valhalla run cold
[Bridge]
So raise your hands
Reach and Valhalla will save your soul
And raise your eyes
Odin will lead us on

Black Sabbath
[Verse 3]
They say that history repeats itself
Upon the year of the seventh century
Well nobody knows, no, you never can tell
So you'd better run now and hide away, yeah
[Chorus]
When the winds of Valhalla run cold
Be sure that the blood will start to flow
When the winds of Valhalla run cold
[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
When the winds of Valhalla run cold
Be sure that the blood will start to flow
When the winds of Valhalla run cold
[Outro]
Valhalla, you can feel it in the air
Valhalla, oh, you better beware, you better beware
Valhalla, you can see it in the space
Valhalla, oh, he's the master of this place
Valhalla, Valhalla
Valhalla, Valhalla
Valhalla, Valhalla
Valhalla, Valhalla
These songs pretty much blow out anything else from this decade. Tyr is a great album and this is a real highlight.
Great! This song reminds me of my teenage years. Good times! BR
Black Sabbath still rocks
This album has some magical moments, probably my favorite post ozzy album.
I don't even want to see O... mentioned on a Martin page.
So great, I miss this ❤❤
Obra prima ❤
TONY MARTIN É FODA! RESPEITEM CADA VOCALISTA QUE PASSOU NO BLACK SABBATH! TODOS TEM SEU PRÓPRIO ESTILO DE CANTAR. NINGUÉM É IGUAL A NINGUÉM!
geraldo cezar silva claro falou tudo irmao !!!
Meu vocalista favorito desta banda. Dio é insuperável, mas Martin é mais versátil!
In memory of my spirit family
One hell of an LP.
Grandissimo album tra i migliori dei black sabbath
Thanks Tony Martin !!
Great Black Sabbath cd album with Tony Martin
Super! Thanks! Tony, sing along, Cozy (R.I.P.), drum on....
This is amazing!
Ray Gillan was also a bad ass. Rip
Haunting Hard Rock at it's best...
Tony Martin is a god
on my knees i am bowing my head down and fearing the raging wrath of the Great Viking Gods! Forever!
Tony Martin muito subestimado, mas todos os disco com são vocal são foda🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
this is fantastic - and so be it !!
It sure was. some of the greatest line ups, material, music Sabbath ever created!!
Tony Martin es un ANIMAL !!!
Amazing track
This is epic!
F*cking masterpiece
Albums with Tony Martin was great, especualy this song, I burn guitar on those riffs, but this is other face of Black Sabbath...true Sabbath was with Ozzy...
I wore this put back then.
I would describe Valhalla once it kicks in as relentless, an incredible track
Grandissimo capolavoro
I like that you removed the horrible transition sound that's haunting the CD-versions! Very good!
if you mean the keyboard intro then yes. Horrible stuff!
Saw them in support of TYR. Awesome
Thors favorite song!
Perfect!
Palloma G.C. beautiful
Tony Tony Tony Tony S2 the best!
Tonny always Master!
In my opinion Tony is the best singer ever,he came to worst time
