Black Sabbath
Black Sabbath was founded in the grimy industrial city of Birmingham, UK. When all the music business was focused in one city, growing up and living in Birmingham made them want to stand out and be more unique than the other rock bands from that era. It also had a big influence, on their compositions, their lyrics, and their overall sound as well.
In 1968, Tony Iommi, and Bill Ward reached out to fellow musicians in the Birmingham area, Geezer Butler and Ozzy Osbourne, to form a blues band.
Little did they know that these slick-looking, long-haired guys would change music history forever. But they did exactly that. In less than 5 years they released 3 albums that would change the face of metal music forever.
Their first album was the self-titled ‘Black Sabbath’ followed by ‘Paranoid‘ and ‘Master of Reality.’ These albums are some of the most pivotal albums in the evolution of the metal genre.
