This band from Birmingham is considered to be the first real heavy metal band in the world. It consists of bassist GEEZER BUTLER, guitarist TONY IOMMI, drummer BILL WARD and singer OSBOURNE OZZY. 1969, the band changed its original name from "Earth" to "Black Sabbath". They are famous for their pure timbre, extremely simplified music and magical associations. 1970 released the first album of the same name, Black Sabbath. Their second album, Paranoia, also became an instant hit. The band's performance combines the themes of nuclear war and death, and also shows that the bad luck and destruction of drugs and youth rebellion are based on the one-on-one determination of young audiences. But few radio stations are willing to play records for them, the most famous of which are Master of Reality and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, and their tours are almost full. In the 1980 s, the personnel of Black Sabbath kept changing, and only IOMMO stayed in the band. By the 1990s, Black Sabbath was gradually forgotten, but their early records still inspired a new generation of bands and listeners.
A large number of closed chords are used in the music of Black Sabbath, resulting in dull and heavy sound effects. In addition, the music speed is not very fast, the rhythm piano is heavy and obvious, so it sounds very strong and heavy, and the lyrics are dark and obscure, trying to create an atmosphere of darkness, fear and despair, in which Ozzy's rough voice will suddenly burst out. Their music was an unparalleled spirit of innovation in the 1970s, and it is very loud even now. Bad luck: It means bad luck and fate. The music of Black Sabbath shows bad luck and fate.
