First of all, I have to admit that Black Sabbath are a band that a have a lot of estimation because they are one of the best metal bands in world and they waken me to metal. I remember listening their songs at two years ago and being delirious with them. I liked so much that I consider them my favorite band ever. At the moment I recommend them at everybody who likes heavy metal. They are amazing man!!Black Sabbath are the first band of heavy metal. They were formed in 1969 by vocalist Ozzy Osbourne, guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler and drummer Bill Ward.
Actual members:
- Ozzy Osbourne
- Tony Iommi
- Geezer Butler
- Bill Ward
Why they choose the name "Black Sabbath"?
It is said that was due to Butler the origin of this name. He saw a crowd paying to be scared to see a horror film called “Black Sabbath” (1963) of Boris Karloff. So he thought to do the same, but with music. He wrote a lyric called “Black Sabbath” that was inspired by the work of occult writer Dennis Wheatley. Furthermore the dark style of that lyric he gave a ominous sound to music so with those dark lyrics pushed the band in a darker direction, contrasting the 1960s pop music which hippie
s culture dominated. Inspired by the new sound, the band changed their name to Black Sabbath (the name before was “Earth”) in August 1969 and focus on writing dark lyrics only and creating the music that we are used to listen in horror films.
MTV ranked Black Sabbath as "Greatest Metal Band" of all time.
They had altered vocalist many times the vocalist(whose isn’t usual). Ozzy Osbourne lead vocals (1968–1977, 1978–1979, 1985, 1994, 1997–present) , but was replaced sometimes for example in 1979 Ronnie James Dio. Black Sabbath would also see a revolving lineup in the 1980s and 1990s that included vocalists Ian Gillan, Glenn Hughes, Ray Gillen and Tony Martin.

PARANOID – the best albumIs considered the best Black Sabbath album. In my opinion this is one of the best heavy metal albums that I have listened. My favorite songs are "Iron Man", “"Electric Funeral”, “War Pigs” and "Paranoid". I love these songs! If you really like metal, you will love Black Sabbath!
