Black Sabbath
Black Sabbath were an English rock band formed in Birmingham in 1968 by guitarist Tony Iommi, drummer Bill Ward, bassist Geezer Butler and vocalist Ozzy Osbourne. They are often cited as pioneers of heavy metal music. The band helped define the genre with releases such as '' Black Sabbath'' (1970), '' Paranoid'' (1970) and '' Master of Reality'' (1971). The band had multiple line-up changes following Osbourne's departure in 1979 and Iommi is the only constant member throughout their history. After previous iterations of the group – the Polka Tulk Blues Band and Earth – the band settled on the name Black Sabbath in 1969. They distinguished themselves through occult themes with horror-inspired lyrics and down-tuned guitars. Signing to Philips Records in November 1969, they released their first single, " Evil Woman", in January 1970, and their debut album, ''Black Sabbath'', was released the following month. Though it received a negative critical response, the album w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sweet Leaf
"Sweet Leaf" is a song by English heavy metal band Black Sabbath from their third studio album '' Master of Reality'' (1971), released on July 21, 1971. It is considered one of the band's signature songs and was included on their 1976 greatest hits compilation ''We Sold Our Soul for Rock 'n' Roll''. Overview The song begins with a tape loop of guitarist Tony Iommi coughing from a joint he was smoking with bandmate Ozzy Osbourne. The song's subject is cannabis, which the band was using frequently at that time. The title of the song was taken from a packet of Irish cigarettes that read "It's the sweet leaf". Significance "Sweet Leaf", and the ''Master of Reality'' album as a whole, arguably represents the earliest example of the music that would influence the emergence of stoner rock in California in the early 1990s. A compilation album, also titled ''Sweet Leaf'', comprising covers of Black Sabbath songs by stoner rock bands, was released by Deadline Music in 2015. Sampl ...

Heaven And Hell (Black Sabbath Song)
"Heaven and Hell" is the title track of Black Sabbath's ninth studio album. The music was written mainly by guitarist Tony Iommi, but – as with almost all Sabbath albums – credit is given to the entire band. The lyrics were written entirely by newcomer Ronnie James Dio. The song has been performed by several bands of which Iommi and Dio were members including Black Sabbath, Dio, and Heaven & Hell. Details Keyboardist Geoff Nicholls, who was a session keyboard player during the recording of the album, is said to have been responsible for this song's bassline.

Children Of The Sea (song)
"Children of the Sea" is a song by heavy metal band Black Sabbath, from their ninth studio album, '' Heaven and Hell'' (1980). Overview "Children of the Sea" was the first song written by the band following the 1979 departure of original lead singer Ozzy Osbourne. The song's melody and lyrics were composed by new singer, Ronnie James Dio, and the music was written largely by guitarist Tony Iommi. After first meeting Iommi in 1979, Dio arrived at the guitarist's Los Angeles house for a jam session, and on that occasion the duo wrote the song. "Tony had this great riff he played me but nothing to go with it," recalled Dio. "I said, 'Gimme a minute' and went into the corner and started writing down the words." Iommi recalled the moment as a turning point in Black Sabbath's career, saying "It was exciting and challenging because we were doing things that quite frankly would have been beyond us with Ozzy. He wasn't that sort of singer." Iommi claims to still possess a very early demo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Neon Knights
"Neon Knights" is a song by English rock band Black Sabbath from 1980's '' Heaven and Hell'', their first album with American vocalist Ronnie James Dio.

Dirty Women
''Technical Ecstasy'' is the seventh studio album by English heavy metal band Black Sabbath, produced by guitarist Tony Iommi and released on 25 September 1976 by Vertigo Records. The album received mixed reviews from critics but was a commercial success, peaking at number 13 on the UK Albums Chart and number 51 on the US ''Billboard'' 200 Album chart, later being certified Gold by the RIAA in 1997. Composition and recording After frustrating legal battles that accompanied the recording of 1975's ''Sabotage'', Sabbath chose Miami's Criteria Studios for the making of ''Technical Ecstasy'', which continued the band's separation from the doom and darkness that had been a trademark of their earlier albums. "Some people may have heard the band in 1970", noted Iommi, "and be thinking, 'Oh no, not them again!' But if they heard us now, they probably might like us." In the July 2001 issue of ''Guitar World'', Dan Epstein wrote, "The sessions proved extremely relaxing for everyone excep ...

Electric Funeral
Electricity is the set of physical phenomena associated with the presence and motion of matter that has a property of electric charge. Electricity is related to magnetism, both being part of the phenomenon of electromagnetism, as described by Maxwell's equations. Various common phenomena are related to electricity, including lightning, static electricity, electric heating, electric discharges and many others. The presence of an electric charge, which can be either positive or negative, produces an electric field. The movement of electric charges is an electric current and produces a magnetic field. When a charge is placed in a location with a non-zero electric field, a force will act on it. The magnitude of this force is given by Coulomb's law. If the charge moves, the electric field would be doing work on the electric charge. Thus we can speak of electric potential at a certain point in space, which is equal to the work done by an external agent in carrying a unit of posit ...

After Forever (song)
"After Forever" is a song by English rock band Black Sabbath. The song was released on their third studio album ''Master of Reality'' in 1971, the lyrics were written by Geezer Butler while the music was written by Tony Iommi. History The lyrics of the song "After Forever", written by Geezer Butler, a proclaimed Catholic, focus entirely on Christian themes. Although the album jacket credits Iommi alone as the composer of this song (including lyrics), the ''Black Sabbath Black Box Set'' refutes the album jacket credit and gives credit to this song (along with "Orchid" and "Embryo") to all four band members in keeping with their wishes to remain a democratic band. At the time, some such as religious and conservative groups viewed Black Sabbath as Satanists (which the band had consistently denied) due to their dark sound, image and lyrics, with occultism and horror as a recurring theme. "After Forever" was released as a single along with "Fairies Wear Boots" in 1971. Covers * "Aft ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
