Black Sabbath is a British rock band formed in Birmingham in 1968, widely recognized as pioneers of the heavy metal genre. The band’s original lineup consisted of Ozzy Osbourne (vocals), Tony Iommi (guitar), Geezer Butler (bass), and Bill Ward (drums). Black Sabbath is known for their dark, heavy sound characterized by Iommi’s down-tuned guitar riffs and Osbourne’s distinct voice, often addressing themes of the occult, war, and fantasy. Their self-titled debut album, released in 1970, is considered one of the first heavy metal albums, and subsequent releases like “Paranoid” and “Master of Reality” helped define the genre and cement their legacy. Black Sabbath’s influence on rock music is profound, inspiring countless artists and bands across various genres. The band went through several lineup changes over the years and has experienced periods of both disbandment and reunion, but they are often regarded as one of the most important and influential bands in music history.
