Despite past rumours to the contrary, rock ?n?roll is not dead. But if any band was to fly a modern day flag for the archetypal term that sums up appearance, attitude & banging guitars, then this is the one. In true uncompromising fashion, they broach issues. Politics, drugs, guns, dejection, & even a spot of lurve into the bargain. Lyrics that are not so convoluted to be contrived, nor simplistic as to not care. A real bite to the cacophony of sound from a trio that lives, breathes & spit ...

Black Sabbath: Ozzy Osbourne (vocals, harmonica); Tony Iommi (guitar); Geezer Butler (bass instrument); Bill Ward (drums). The archetypal heavy metal b&, Black Sabbath unleashed a debut album marked by ponderous, sludgy rhythms, heavily distorted riffs & chords, & more than a whiff of darkness & Black Magic. Its crushing atmosphere of doom proved intense & relentless; the cumulative effect was dubbed "downer rock, but it proved immediately popular with a disaffected audience. Though ...

Black Sabbath's debut album is given over to lengthy songs & suite-like pieces where individual songs blur together & riffs pound away one after another, frequently under extended jams. There isn't much variety in tempo, mood, or the band's simple, blues-derived musical vocabulary, but that's not the point; Sabbath's slowed-down, murky guitar rock bludgeons the listener in an almost hallucinatory fashion, reveling in its own dazed, druggy state of consciousness. Songs like the apocalyptic ti ...

Volume 4, Black Sabbath's fourth studio album, released in 1972 marked the beginning of a transitional period for the b&. Black Sabbath were pretty much unique with their sound in the early 1970's; the godfathers of heavy metal were louder than most & had a distinctive sound which no other band really came near to having a similarity to. However, after producing three albums (' Black Sabbath', ' Paranoid' & ' Master of Reality') with their classic, straight out heavy & powerful style, Black ...

From the group many credit with creating metal, guitarist Tony Iommi resurrected an earlier lineup of Black Sabbath for Dehumanizer. As is their wont, the Sabs show concern for humanity's future. Lead track " Computer God" tackles mankind's capitulation at the altar of technology. " After All" evokes the morbid/mystical themes & sonic plod of earliest Sabbath. Dehumanizer breaks little new ground. But with hundreds of other groups expropriating the sound these days, it's comforting to find that, ...

While certainly not as long, prolific, or seismic as the Ozzy Years, Black Sabbath's stint with Ronnie James Dio merits more than a mere footnote in the band's storied history, & Rhino's THE DIO YEARS aims to rectify the oversight.
