Background information über 'Black Sabbath'

The birth of heavy metal happened on Friday the 13th of February 1970, when Black Sabbath unleashed their earth-shattering debut album upon an unsuspecting world. This monumental release didn't just define a genre - it created one entirely from scratch. Opening with the ominous tolling of church bells and Tony Iommi's detuned, menacing guitar riff on the title track "Black Sabbath", the Birmingham quartet immediately established themselves as something completely different from their blues-rock contemporaries. The album's dark themes, crushing heaviness, and Ozzy Osbourne's haunting vocals created a template that countless metal bands would follow for decades to come.

What makes this deluxe edition particularly special is the inclusion of previously unreleased studio outtakes from Regent Sound Studios, recorded in November 1969. These bonus tracks offer fascinating glimpses into the creative process behind one of music's most influential albums. Songs like "N.I.B." with its apocalyptic bass line from Geezer Butler, "The Wizard" showcasing Ozzy's harmonica skills, and the epic 10-minute "Warning" demonstrate the band's ability to blend blues influences with something far more sinister and heavy. The remastering by Andy Pearce brings new clarity to Bill Ward's thunderous drumming and the overall sonic weight that made this album so revolutionary.

For fans of: Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Blue Cheer, Iron Butterfly and Pentagram
