Considered by many to be the first heavy metal band, Black Sabbath was formed in 1968 by Tony Iommi, Ozzy Osbourne, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward in Birmingham, UK. The band's original name was the Polka Tulk Blues Band (later shortened to Polka Tulk) and later on changed to Earth before becoming Black Sabbath inspired by an Italian horror movie of the same name.

The original line-up lasted until 1979, after which Osbourne was fired and replaced by Ronnie James Dio. Throughout the years, there were several line-up changes with only Tony Iommi and keyboardist Geoff Nicholls remaining as consistent members. In 1997, Iommi, Butler, Ward, and Osbourne reunited for touring purposes. In 2007, they toured together as Heaven & Hell featuring Dio-era members.

In 2011, it was announced that the original line-up would be recording and touring again but Bill Ward dropped out due to contract issues. The three remaining members continued without him and released "13" in 2013. Black Sabbath played their final live show in Birmingham in 2017 but Tony Iommi has stated that future music and live appearances are still possible.

1974's 'sabbath bloody sabbath' is widely considered to be black sabbath's last true classic album. the musical experimentation that began on 1972's 'vol. 4' was continued here, but this time it took the form of subtle synthesizer colorings (instead of 'vol. 4's tranquil ballads). and whereas its predecessor didn't contain a true, instantly recognizable sabbath anthem (save for 'snowblind'), 'sabbath bloody sabbath's title track resumed the quartet's penchant for penning heavy metal compositions that sounded like they were tailor made for being blasted in a huge arena. while the title track is the album's best-known song, 'sabbath bloody sabbath' proved to be another in a long line of 100% filler-free records from ozzy and co. highlights included the creepy 'who are you?', plus the tony iommi riff-mongers 'a national acrobat', 'killing yourself to live' and 'sabra cadabra' a song that metallica would cover on its 1998 release garage inc. you'll also find one of sabbath's most haunting yet serene instrumentals, 'fluff' as well as the melodic album-closing rocker, 'spiral architect'. 'sabbath bloody sabbath' is quintessential heavy metal.
