Black Sabbath is a pioneering British heavy metal band formed in Birmingham in the late 1960s, widely credited with creating the heavy metal genre. The original lineup featured Ozzy Osbourne (vocals), Tony Iommi (guitar), Geezer Butler (bass), and Bill Ward (drums)[5]. Their music is characterized by ominous guitar riffs, slow tempos, and dark lyrical themes, which shaped the sound and image of heavy metal. Their early albums, notably *Black Sabbath* (1970) and *Paranoid* (1970), achieved instant success, topping charts in the UK and maintaining long runs in the US. Both albums were certified gold within a year, marking a paradigm shift in rock music[1]. Subsequent albums like *Master of Reality* (1971), *Vol. 4* (1972), and *Sabbath Bloody Sabbath* (1973) demonstrated growing musical ambition and complexity, with *Sabbath Bloody Sabbath* receiving critical acclaim as a masterpiece[2]. Black Sabbath became a relentless touring band, playing major rock festivals and expanding their global influence through extensive live performances. Throughout their career, Black Sabbath experienced lineup changes and legal challenges but maintained relevance, influencing generations of musicians. They received numerous accolades, including induction into the UK Music Hall of Fame (2005) and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (2006)[2][6]. They won multiple Grammy Awards for Best Metal Performance, including for classics like "Iron Man" and "God Is Dead?" and received a Lifetime Achievement Grammy in 2019[3]. Black Sabbath embarked on a farewell tour in 2016, culminating in their final show in Birmingham, symbolically returning to their roots[5]. Despite challenges, they remain a force in rock history, known for innovating heavy metal and maintaining a legacy that blends dark thematic content with powerful musicianship. Their influence extends beyond music into cultural and business realm
