Black Sabbath – Master Of Reality (CD)
Product Details
Tuning down his guitar strings to ease the pain from a factory accident that cost him the tips of two fingers, Tony Iommi accidentally invented a new sonic universe. The detuned, impossibly heavy riffs on cuts like "Sweet Leaf" and "Children of the Grave" didn't just influence metal, they became a gravitational field that doom, sludge, and stoner rock would orbit for the next five decades.
Digitally remastered edition. Master of Reality is the third studio album by Black Sabbath. Released in July 1971, it is widely regarded as the foundation of doom metal, stoner rock, and sludge metal. It was certified double platinum after having sold over 2 million copies. Master of Reality was Black Sabbath's first and only top 10 album in the US until 13 forty-two years later. 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.
