Black Sabbath has been so influential in the development of heavy metal rock music as to be a defining force in the style. The group took the blues-rock sound of late '60s acts like Cream, Blue Cheer, and Vanilla Fudge to its logical conclusion, slowing the tempo, accentuating the bass, and emphasizing screaming guitar solos and howled vocals full of lyrics expressing mental anguish and macabre fantasies. If their predecessors clearly came out of an electrified blues tradition, Black Sabbath took that tradition in a new direction, and in so doing helped give birth to a musical style that continued to attract millions of fans decades later.

What is this that stands before me?
Figure in black which points at me
Turn around quick and start to run
Find out I'm the chosen one, oh nooo!

Big black shape with eyes of fire
Telling people their desire
Satan's sitting there, he's smiling
Watches those flames get higher and higher
Oh no, no, please God help me!

Is it the end, my friend?
Satan's coming 'round the bend
People running 'cause they're scared
The people better go and beware!
No, no, please, no!

  • See now why the fuck dont they play this on the radio?

  • The founding fathers of metal

  • @ThesePeopleSuck Good. Just one point. How can Ozzy play like Oz when Ozzy is a singer and Oz is a bassist? After all, Black Sabbath style is much different from Coven style.

    Please don't think I don't respect Coven or you. As I said, just one point.

  • Imagine Alice doing a theatrical number to this...

  • @Billeas4ever Ozzy took his stage name from the real oz Osbourne of Coven, geezer even plays like Oz. they also use similar effects. I love sabbath but at the same time I give props to the originals
