Formed in 1969 in Birmingham, England, Black Sabbath's original lineup consisted of Osbourne, Iommi, and the rythym section of bassist Geezer Butler and drummer Bill Ward. Initially a blues band, called Earth, the quartet changed their name that year and began writing songs that reflected their interest in mysticism, magic and the occult. Black Sabbath released their debut album in 1970, following it later that year with Paranoid, a collection of original songs that established them as leading contenders in the hard rock realm. With extensive international touring, Black Sabbath earned a reputation as a top live attraction. A string of best-selling albums, including Master of Reality (1971), Black Sabbath Volume IV (1972) and the groundbreaking Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath (1974), likewise consolidated their standing as heavy metal innovators.

Following a touring and recording hiatus, the group returned in 1975 with Sabotage, followed by Technical Ecstacy (1976) and the double album hits package We Sold Our Souls For Rock'N'Roll (1976).

Black Sabbath's next studio release, Never Say Die (1978), marked the end of an era when, shortly after its release, founding member Ozzy Osbourne departed to pursue a solo career. The band would then carry on with new member, singer Ronnie James Dio.

"I never really knew what the big deal was, we were just four dimps from Birmingham..."
 --Ozzy Osbourne--

"Sabbath was everything that the 60's weren't. Their music was so cool because it was completely anti-hippie. I hated the Beatles, Jethro Tull, and all that happy shit."
 --James Hetfield, Metallica--

"Everybody knows that Black Sabbath started everything and almost every single thing that people are playing today has already been done by Black Sabbath. They wrote every single good riff...ever."
 --Rob Zombie, White Zombie--

"It's so hard talking about Black Sabbath because it's such an ingrained part of C.O.C.'s existence. Everything I ever learned about Rock 'N' Roll revolves around Black Sabbath."
 --Pepper Keenan, Corrosion Of Conformity--

"I think that Sabbath are directly responsible for all metal, hardcore, thrash, and goth music. They are the premier goth band."
 --Peter Steele, Type O Negative--
