Black Sabbath
Black Sabbath, formed in Birmingham, England, in 1968, are widely considered the pioneers of heavy metal music. Their dark, ominous sound, characterized by Tony Iommi’s heavy guitar riffs, Geezer Butler’s ominous bass lines, Bill Ward’s powerful drumming, and Ozzy Osbourne’s distinctive vocals, revolutionized rock music.
- “Iron Man”: A dystopian tale of a time traveler warning humanity about the dangers of technology.
- “Paranoid”: A fast-paced, driving track that became a signature song and a staple of rock radio.
- “War Pigs”: An anti-war anthem that reflects on the futility and horrors of conflict.
- “Black Sabbath”: A slow, doom-laden track that explores themes of fear and the unknown.
- “Changes”: A softer, more introspective ballad that showcases a different side of the band.
Black Sabbath’s music and image often courted controversy. Their dark lyrical themes, occult imagery, and Ozzy Osbourne’s on-stage antics (like biting the head off a bat) fueled rumors of Satanism and shocked many mainstream audiences.
However, their influence on heavy metal and rock music is undeniable, and they remain one of the most influential and important bands in music history.
