INTRODUCTION
Black Sabbath is the original "black metal" band, replete with horror-film
themes and gothic imagery. They pushed music to previously uncharted levels of
heaviness throughout the seventies, and set the stage for the hard-edged styles
of 1980s thrash and death metal, as well as the heavier side of 1990s alternative
rock. Their powerful influence upon countless guitarists throughout the world
cannot be denied.
The story of Black Sabbath began in Birmingham, England in the late
1960s. The quartet-originally composed of vocalist John "Ozzy" Osbourne,
guitarist Tony lommi, bassist Terry "Geezer" Butler, and drummer Bill Wardgained
a fervent local following as a blues band called Earth. After learning that
there was another band going by that name, however, the four renamed
themselves, adopting the monicker Black Sabbath-the title of both an old horror
movie starring Boris Karloff as well as that of a song the group had already
composed. This name perfectly reflected the group's growing interest in
supernatural and occult themes, which would come to dominate their lyrics and
fuel the band's dark image and signature sound.
Their debut self-titled release, Black Sabbath (1970), initially attained only
moderate success. It was their follow-up album later that same year, Paranoid,
which first earned the band international acclaim with such classic metal
masterpieces as "Iron Man," "War Pigs," and of course the title track, "Paranoid."
After extensive touring in both Europe and the United States, a third release,
Master of Reality (1971), cemented the band's growing popularity and commercial
success. Also, on this landmark recording, the band began to experiment for the
first time with ultra-low (C#) tuning, to accompany their dark lyrical sorties with a
deeper and darker tone. This would come to be a dominant and unique
characteristic of the band's sound over the next number of years.
The group's creative powers were still in high gear as the fourth and fifth
albums, Black Sabbath Vol. 4 and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, were released in
1972 and 1973, respectively. After five ground-breaking albums in just four short
years, their status as the musical voice of the underworld was secured. Further
efforts, including 1975's Sabotage continued to build upon their visionary art-rock
tradition.
As with all important rock, it is as much a social commentary as a musical
force, and Black Sabbath was no exception. Perhaps less obvious than their "evil"
image, one finds upon closer inspection that the majority of lyrics invoke not evil
messages at all, but simply social issues of the time as well as cryptic warnings.
One common theme is to warn of the fate that will befall our evil ways, either as
individuals ("Black Sabbath," "Paranoid") or as a world bent on nuclear
destruction and hatred ("War Pigs," "Children of the Grave")-essentially as if the
band were setting to music the biblical book of Revelation. Another theme is farreaching
science fiction and space travel ("Iron Man," "Into the Void") sometimes
interlaced with mind travel via drug-induced, astral projection ("Supernaut"). The
late sixties psychedelic drug culture morays were also explicitly set forth ("Sweet
Leaf'). In many ways, the band's music was a backdrop reflecting society's
ongoing dialog on priorities, right and wrong, good and evil, and where we are
headed as a culture. Their focus on anti-war, ecology, and mind-expanding drug
themes rode the forefront of controversy and continued to help push these 60s
issues into the next decade.
Looking beyond the black-magic trappings, guitarist Tony lommi is actually
a fairly straight-ahead electric blues-rock player in the vein of Eric Clapton and
Jimmy Page-in particular this is apparent when one examines his lead guitar ...

Figure 20 -Intro, Verse, and Interlude
The recording of Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, the band's fifth effort, was the
occasion of a famous band story. They had set up in an old English casti e to compose
and record a bit. Strange things began to happen right away. A fire spread
unexpectedly from the fireplace, and Ozzy, sleeping nearby, woke at the last moment
and narrowly escaped. Shortly thereafter, several members of the band witnessed an
unknown man walk into a room, and upon following him, found that the room was
empty and the only other door out of it was locked from the inside. They began to tell
each other horrifying stories, and in the end, were ali so scared they had to leave the
castle that same night!
The album was finally completed (in the welcome security of the recording
studio) and released in December, 1973. The title track shows a broadening influence
in terms of arrangement and textures. Acoustic guitars were implemented in a
significant way, and Rick Wakeman (Yes) was brought on board for keyboard duties.
Again played in the slack down tuning, the riff makes clever, Hammering straight, also, palm mutes are maintained entirely on the, natural minor scale (Aeolian mode). Structurally, this tune is somewhat of a departure from Sabbath's norm, as it includes a vocal-driven, chorus-type section which acts as a lower-energy point,
counterbalancing the main riff with acoustic textures. Clean electric guitars (Gtrs. 2 &
3) add relaxed pentatonic-style melodies over the six-string acoustic guitar (Gtr. 4)
which strums a cycling Am9-G/D progression. In measure 33, the G/D chord appears
as a Gmaj7/D, lending a jazz-inspired feel. Measures 39-40 replace the G/D chord
with a revolving D-A progression over a D string pedal tone which functions to build
back into the original riff...
