For the appreciation and discussion of the greatest metal band of all time, Black Sabbath.
From Wikipedia:
Black Sabbath are an English rock band, formed in Aston, Birmingham [England] in 1969 by [John "Ozzy"] Osbourne (lead vocals), Tony Iommi (guitar), [Terry "Geezer"] Butler (bass guitar), and Bill Ward (drums). The band has since experienced multiple line-up changes, with Tony Iommi the only constant presence in the band through the years. A total of twenty-two musicians have at one time been members of Black Sabbath. Originally formed as a heavy blues rock band named Earth, the band began incorporating occult- and horror-inspired lyrics with tuned-down guitars, changing their name to Black Sabbath and achieving multiple platinum records in the 1970s. Despite an association with occult and horror themes, Black Sabbath also composed songs dealing with social instability, political corruption, the dangers of drug abuse (rather ironic) and the often apocalyptic prophesies of the horrors of war.
