Various Artists "Nativity in Black: A Tribute to Black Sabbath (Japan, Sony Records, SRCS 7488)"

Nativity in Black: A Tribute to Black Sabbath is a series of two Black Sabbath tribute albums, released in 1994 and 2000 respectively. The albums feature various heavy metal groups performing cover versions of Black Sabbath songs in tribute to the band.

All of the tracks featured on the Nativity in Black albums cover material strictly from the band's 1970s heyday with vocalist Ozzy Osbourne. The title is derived from a widespread yet incorrect assumption surrounding the title of the Black Sabbath song "N.I.B.".

The band Bullring Brummies featured Black Sabbath founding members Geezer Butler and Bill Ward, along with vocalist Rob Halford, Obsessed/Saint Vitus guitarist Scott "Wino" Weinrich, and Fight guitarist Brian Tilse. Their cover of "The Wizard" on the first album is their only official recording, with the musicians coming together specifically for this recording.

The live recording of "War Pigs" by Faith No More was previously included on the band's live album, Live at the Brixton Academy.

1000 Homo DJs' version of "Supernaut" was originally released as a 12" single in 1990.

Pantera was originally supposed to appear on the first album with their recording of Planet Caravan but was left off. Instead, that song appeared on their 1994 release Far Beyond Driven

Biohazard was featured in a music video for the song After Forever which was directed by Parris Mayhew of Cro-Mags and produced by Drew Stone

The album was certified Gold by the RIAA on 4 December 2000. Bob Chiappardi of Concrete Marketing was executive producer for the album. Megadeth's cover of "Paranoid" received a Grammy nomination in 1995 for 'Best Metal Performance'.

All tracks are written by Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward

Ugly Kid Joe "Stairway To Hell (EP)"

Stairway to Hell is an EP by the American alternative rock band Ugly Kid Joe. It was released digitally on June 5, 2012, and physical version surfaced a month later, July 9. This is their first studio recording since 1996's Motel California, and their first EP since 1991's As Ugly as They Wanna Be. A video for its single "Devil's Paradise" was released on May 24, 2012 to promote it. Five days later, the EP was available for streaming in its entirety. Another music video for the "I'm Alright" song was released on November 12, 2012.

Ugly Kid Joe "As Ugly as It Gets: The Very Best of Ugly Kid Joe"

As Ugly as It Gets: The Very Best of Ugly Kid Joe is a 1998 compilation album by Ugly Kid Joe. It included select songs from the band's first two releases as well as a cover of the Black Sabbath song "N.I.B." (previously included on the tribute album Nativity in Black). Although this compilation album was released after Motel California, it contains none of the singles from that album as Ugly Kid Joe had switched record labels by that time.

Ugly Kid Joe "Motel California"

Motel California is the third album by the American rock band Ugly Kid Joe. The CD was released on October 22, 1996. Motel California is the last full-length studio album until 2015. They disbanded in January 1997 and reformed in January 2010. It received lukewarm reviews and was a commercial failure.

The title is a parody of the Eagles's album, Hotel California. The song "Rage Against the Answering Machine" is a pun on the name of the Los Angeles rock band Rage Against the Machine.
