About Black Sabbath
Black Sabbath was an English heavy metal band formed in Birmingham in 1968 by guitarist Tony Iommi, drummer Bill Ward, bassist Geezer Butler, and vocalist Ozzy Osbourne. The band adopted the name Black Sabbath in 1969 after previously performing as Polka Tulk Blues Band and then Earth. They became known for their occult themes, horror-inspired lyrics, and down-tuned guitars. Their first three albums, Black Sabbath, Paranoid, and Master of Reality, released between 1970 and 1971, achieved commercial success and are considered pioneering works in the development of heavy metal. The band’s subsequent albums, including Vol. 4, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Sabotage, Technical Ecstasy, and Never Say Die!, released between 1972 and 1978, incorporated more experimental and progressive elements. Ozzy Osbourne was dismissed from the band in 1979 and replaced by Ronnie James Dio, formerly of Rainbow. With Dio, the band recorded three albums: Heaven and Hell, Mob Rules, and Live Evil, the latter two featuring drummer Vinny Appice replacing Ward. After Dio and Appice left, Iommi and Butler recorded Born Again in 1983 with Ward returning on drums and Ian Gillan, formerly of Deep Purple, on vocals.
