DC SHOES : BLACK SABBATH COLLAB

No Comments

Black Sabbath’s music—and the heavy metal movement it spawned—is eternally linked to skateboarding history. Sabbath has been the soundtrack for some of the heaviest-hitting video parts of all time. It’s still the pump-up music for skaters—packed into smoke-filled cars, stumbling from spot to spot as Sweet Leaf puffs out of the shitty, blown-out speakers. And, 50 years on from their genre-defining 1971 album, Master of Reality, DC is celebrating one of the
