Black Sabbath's self-titled debut album, released on February 13, 1970, under Sanctuary Records, is a groundbreaking work that laid the foundation for heavy metal. This iconic album, spanning 42 minutes, is a raw and powerful collection of tracks that blend blues, rock, and hard rock elements, giving birth to the doom metal genre. With songs like "Black Sabbath" and "N.I.B.," the band, consisting of Tony Iommi, Ozzy Osbourne, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward, delivers a heavy, riff-driven sound that has influenced generations of musicians. The 2009 remastered version brings renewed clarity to the album's dark and intense atmosphere, making it a compelling listen for both longtime fans and newcomers to Black Sabbath's pioneering music.
