Black Sabbath – Black Sabbath (CD)
Product Details
Released on a Friday the 13th in 1970, the debut arrived like a thunderclap from the industrial Midlands, Iommi's down-tuned, tritone-drenched riff on the opening title track essentially conjuring heavy metal into existence in under three minutes. What Ozzy, Butler, Iommi, and Ward captured in that Birmingham rehearsal space was something genuinely dark and new, blues DNA mutated by factory noise and post-war dread into something the world had no vocabulary for yet.
Digitally remastered edition. Black Sabbath is the eponymous debut studio album by English rock band Black Sabbath. Originally released on February 13, 1970 in the United Kingdom and on June 1, 1970 in the United States, the album reached #8 on the UK Albums Charts and #23 on the Billboard charts. Black Sabbath was formed in Birmingham in 1968 by guitarist and main songwriter Tony Iommi, bassist and main lyricist Geezer Butler, singer Ozzy Osbourne, and drummer Bill Ward. Black Sabbath is often cited as pioneers of heavy metal music. The band helped define the genre with a clutch of groundbreaking albums in the `70s. They have sold over 70 million records worldwide. Black Sabbath were inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006.
