U fiirso qoraalka hoose ka dibna ka jawaab su'aasha kadib isla luqadda qoraalka:  Passage: Black Sabbath waxay bilaabeen inay ka shaqeeyaan qalab cusub Oktoobar 1986 gudaha Air Studios ee Montserrat iyadoo ay la socdaan soo saaraha Jeff Glixman. Diiwaangelintu waxay ahayd mid dhibaato badan laga bilaabo bilowgii, maadaama Glixman uu tagay ka dib fadhiyada bilowga ah si loo beddelo soo saaraha Vic Coppersmith-Heaven. Bassist Dave Spitz ayaa iska casilay "arrimo shaqsiyeed", waxaana la keenay bassistkii hore ee Rainbow iyo Ozzy Osbourne Bob Daisley. Daisley wuxuu dib u duubay dhammaan heesaha baska, wuxuuna qoray heesaha albumka, laakiin ka hor inta aan la dhammaystirin albumka, wuxuu ka tagay si uu ugu biiro kooxda taageerada Gary Moore, isagoo la socda garabka Eric Singer. Dhibaatooyin ka dib soo saaraha labaad ee Coppersmith-Heaven, kooxdu waxay ku soo noqotay Morgan Studios ee England bishii Janaayo 1987 si ay ula shaqeyso soo saaraha cusub ee Chris Tsangarides. Intii uu ka shaqeynayay Boqortooyada Ingiriiska, fannaanka cusub Ray Gillen ayaa si lama filaan ah uga tagay Black Sabbath si uu u sameeyo Blue Murder oo uu la yeeshay guitarist John Sykes (oo hore u ahaa Tigers of Pan Tang, Thin Lizzy, Whitesnake). Kooxdu waxay qortay heesaha heesaha culus ee Tony Martin si ay dib ugu duubto raadadka Gillen, iyo garabka hore ee Electric Light Orchestra Bev Bevan si uu u dhammaystiro dhowr guul-darrada. Ka hor inta aan la sii deynin albumka cusub Black Sabbath waxay aqbashay dalab ah inay ku ciyaaraan lix bandhig oo Sun City, Koonfur Afrika intii lagu jiray xilligii midab-takoorka. Kooxda ayaa dhaleeceyn ka heshay dhaqdhaqaaqayaasha iyo fanaaniinta ku lugta leh Fannaaniinta United ee ka soo horjeeda Apartheid, kuwaas oo ka soo horjeeda Koonfur Afrika tan iyo 1985. Drummer Bev Bevan ayaa diiday inuu ciyaaro bandhigyada, waxaana lagu beddelay Terry Chimes, oo horey uga tirsanaa Clash. Kadib ku dhawaad sanad wax soo saar, The Eternal Idol waxaa la sii daayay 8dii Diseembar 1987 waxaana iska indho tiray dib u eegayaasha waqtigaas. Dib-u-eegista xilligii internetka ee internetka ayaa la isku daray. AllMusic ayaa sheegtay in "codka xoogga leh ee Martin uu dab cusub ku daray" kooxda, albumkuna wuxuu ka koobnaa "qaar ka mid ah riffs-ka ugu culus ee Iommi sanado badan". Blender wuxuu albumka siiyay laba xiddigood, isagoo ku andacoonaya in albumku yahay "Black Sabbath magaca oo keliya". Albaabka wuxuu ku dhacay lambarka 66aad ee Boqortooyada Ingiriiska, halka uu gaaray 168 ee Mareykanka. Kooxdu waxay u safray taageerada Eternal Idol Jarmalka, Talyaaniga iyo markii ugu horreysay...  Suaal: Jeff Glixman waxaa lagu yaqaanaa inuu la shaqeeyay kooxdee 1986?
