Welcome to the first black sabbath album which was released in 1970!, This album is the begining of metal and opens up with the classic sabbath song "black sabbath" a 6 minute song this is the story behind the song. Ozzy Osbourne gave Geezer Butler a book about witchcraft. He read the book and placed the book on a shelf before going to sleep. When he woke up, he claims he saw a large black figure standing at the end of his bed. The figure disappeared and Butler went to get the book, only to find that the book was gone. He then told Osbourne, who wrote the lyrics to the song. the 2nd song on the album is the fan faviroute "the Wizard" followed by Behind the wall of sleep and the classic sabbath track NIB a song named after bill wards beard. this album also has 2 covers entitled haunted and evil woman and the album has a creepy track called sleeping village. My friends this is a genius album which started metal check it out

I bought this album because I wanted to hear what metal first sounded like compared to nowadays. I had some doubts because I like a lot of modern bands but I wasn't disapointed! The vocals and lyrics are haunting and the guitarwork is amazing. All of the tracks are classics. The best songs are: Black Sabbath, The Wizard and N.I.B.

I am new into Black Sabbath and have been really surprised by how quickly I have got into them. This Album rates between 3-4 overall with my personal favourites being Black Sabbath, The Wizard and NIB.
I was trying to imagine how people would have reacted when they first heard the intro to the song Black Sabbath, on the album Black Sabbath by a band called Black Sabbath. What a way to announce yourself to the world.
Looking forward to increasing my collection.

Awesome debut!
Let's be clear, this album isn't as good as some of the Sabbath albums that followed it. However, for a debut album by a little Brummie band with little in the way of cash and... Read more
