BLACK SABBATH aftermath, SCORPIONS burn🔥 KISS as usual, MASTODON, DEFTONES, HALESTORM & more | MPD51

Metal Pilgrim | February 8, 2026



Black Sabbath & Ozzy Osbourne performed their last ever concert Back to the Beginning in Birmingham, yet the news from the band’s camp continue pouring in. And meanwhile Scorpions celebrated their 60th anniversary with a massive concert with Alice Cooper and Judas Priest… and showed a teaser from their upcoming biopic movie Wind of Change.

Deftones announced a new album Private Music and KISS turn their Las Vegas concert into something more… in a very KISS manner. Mastodon are going to enter the studio flying high after the Back to the Beginning concert, and Black Metal merch is the worst… literally! YouTube is finally fighting AI videos, new releases by Feuerschwanz & Doro, Paradise Lost, Mammoth, Amorphis, Halestorm and much more in the new Metal Digest.

    #1 – Can we be done with KISS already? #2 – Any tell all autobiography from OZZY will be heavily edited by Sharon. #3 – It's awesome to see Alice, Priest and Scorpions still going strong.

    It’s nothing new for Profanatica. The first 100 copies of their 1992 “Weeping in heaven” 7” came with Paul’s blood & cum smeared on the cover. Can’t deny the fella’s dedication to the bit.

    Kiss is still milking it.
    Black Sabbath has officially retired. Ozzy will still record music and so will the others but they will have their own projects. Now it's possible they might record another album but that's another issue.

    1996 i saw Ozzy at the calgary Saddledome.
    My first concert, 13yo.
    It was his Retirement Sucks tour supporting Ozzmosis.

    So: What band was kicked off the Back to the Beginning show??? Sharon said she would reveal the band after the show, but I haven't heard a single thing. Can anyone tell me who it was?

    Need to point something here. You are, quite rightly, praising You Tube for clamping down on AI. But you didn't mention that the new Paradise Lost video is entirely AI generated. Could you address it in your next video please?
