Courtesy of Black SabbathWhat’s Black Sabbath up to? The metal legends, who played their final show earlier this year, are teasing something called “The Ten Year War.”

On the band’s Facebook, Black Sabbath has posted a 18-second video filled with mysterious, quick-cutting images, including a mushroom cloud and a flamethrower. The clip then promises that something called “The Ten Year War” will arrive September 29.

In other Black Sabbath news, Rolling Stone named the band’s 1970 sophomore effort, Paranoid, #1 on its list of “The 100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time.”

“It’s impossible to imagine what heavy metal would have become without the iconic gloomy riff of ‘Iron Man,’ the musical thickness of ‘War Pigs’ and the rapid-fire chugging of ‘Paranoid,'” the magazine writes of Paranoid.

Following Paranoid at #2 is Metallica‘s Master of Puppets, with Judas Priest‘s British Steel at #3. Rounding out the top 10 are Iron Maiden‘s The Number of the Beast at #4, Black Sabbath’s self-titled debut at #5, Slayer‘s Reign in Blood at #6, Motorhead‘s No Remorse at #7, Megadeth‘s Peace Sells…but Who’s Buying? at #8, Ozzy Osbourne‘s Blizzard of Ozz at #9 and Pantera‘s Vulgar Display of Power at #10.
