They are the band that created metal music . . . and they have defined it for more than four decades. Black Sabbaths career spans eleven different line-ups and nineteen studio albums in addition to the twenty-eight solo albums of the original four members.The band began in 1968 as a blues rock band on the cover circuit of Birmingham; England. Clawing their way up from the postwar bombed-out suburbs of Birmingham; the four members - guitarist and main songwriter Tony Iommi; bassist and main lyricist Geezer Butler; singer Ozzy Osbourne; and drummer Bill Ward - would define a new genre of music and make themselves world famous.Joel McIver explores the complete history of Sabbath; from the precursor bands to the release of the holy trinity of heavy metal - "Black Sabbath" (the song) on Black Sabbath (the album) by Black Sabbath (the band) - to the present. With over 150 photos; a gatefold family tree tracing the development of the band; a complete discography; and a foreword by Machine Head frontman Robb Flynn; this is the must-have book for any Sabbath fan.
