Black Sabbath nominated for multiple 2014 Grammy Awards

 Black Sabbath have been nominated in multiple categories for the 2014 Grammy Awards next month.

The reunited band tops all rock nominees with three nods, including Best Rock Album for "13," its first set in 35 years with original frontman Ozzy Osbourne and the group's first-ever No. 1 on the Billboard 200. The single "God is Dead?," meanwhile, is up for Best Rock Song and Best Metal Performance.

The 56th Annual Grammy Awards will be held January 26, 2014 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles and broadcast live on CBS from 8–11:30 p.m. (ET/PT).

Black Sabbath are currently playing live dates throughout Europe; the fall trek wraps up in the band’s hometown of Birmingham, England on December 22. The metal icons have just released a new live DVD, “Black Sabbath – Gathered In Their Masses.” The set was recorded over two shows – April 29 and May 1 – in Melbourne, Australia during the early stages of the group’s current world tour.
