Black Sabbath has added a Black Lives Matter t-shirt to their online merch store with 100% of the net proceeds being donated to Black Lives Matter.

The band's social media channels shared an image of the shirt and a link to purchase. The shirt itself features the phrase "Black Lives Matter" in the purple font featured on the band's 1971 album Master of Reality.

This is the first time the band has sold this shirt, despite it existing on various third-party t-shirt sites for a number of years. Earlier this month, Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello shared a photo to his Instagram of him wearing the Sabbath BLM t-shirt.
