The Ultimate Tribute to Black Sabbath & Judas Priest

Sabbath Judas Sabbath is the brainchild of legendary vocalist James Rivera, best known for his work with Helstar, Destiny’s End, Distant Thunder, Vicious Rumors, and Seven Witches. Between touring and recording with his own bands, Rivera pays tribute to the two groups that influenced his career more than any others: Black Sabbath—with a special focus on the Ronnie James Dio era—and Judas Priest.

The concept dates back to the 1990s, when Rivera fronted two separate tribute bands: Children of the Grave (Black Sabbath) and Metal Gods (Judas Priest). In 2002, the two were merged into one spectacular show celebrating the greatest classics from both legendary bands.

Over the years, Sabbath Judas Sabbath has earned an international reputation, performing with various lineups across the United States and Europe. Since making their European debut in Slovenia in 2009, the band has toured extensively and become a favorite among fans of classic heavy metal.

Backed by a lineup of exceptional musicians, James Rivera delivers a world-class live experience that faithfully recreates the music of Black Sabbath and Judas Priest with passion, authenticity, and outstanding musicianship. From Dio-era masterpieces to Priest’s greatest anthems, every performance is a celebration of two of the most influential bands in heavy metal history.

For every fan of classic metal, James Rivera’s Sabbath Judas Sabbath is an absolute must-see—an unforgettable night of timeless riffs, legendary vocals, and the unstoppable spirit of heavy metal’s golden age.
