Background information über 'Master Of Reality (Re-Release)'

Black Sabbath's third studio album "Master of Reality" stands as one of the most influential heavy metal records ever created, cementing the Birmingham quartet's legacy as the godfathers of doom and sludge metal. Released in 1971, this masterpiece showcased the band at their creative peak, with Tony Iommi's detuned guitar work creating an even heavier, more menacing sound than their previous efforts. The album features some of their most enduring classics, including the hypnotic opener "Sweet Leaf" - a cannabis tribute that became an anthem for stoner rock generations to come - and the crushing "Children of the Grave", which perfectly encapsulates the band's apocalyptic vision with its thunderous riffs and Ozzy Osbourne's haunting vocals.

The genius of "Master of Reality" lies in its perfect balance of crushing heaviness and melodic sensibility, with tracks like the beautiful acoustic instrumental "Orchid" providing breathing space between the sonic assaults. Geezer Butler's bass lines are particularly prominent throughout, creating a foundation so solid it could support mountains, while Bill Ward's drumming provides the perfect rhythmic backbone for Iommi's revolutionary guitar work. This album essentially wrote the blueprint for countless metal subgenres that followed, influencing everyone from doom pioneers to modern sludge masters.

For fans of: Electric Wizard, Sleep, High on Fire, and Monolord
