Back to black

The other morning I was talking to a friend of mine about Rowan Dartington stock broking services, which was a rather sensible conversation when N.I.B by Black Sabbath came on over the radio. It took me by surprise firstly because it is not often that Black Sabbath have radio air time and secondly because I had forgotten how much I loved the music they made. Sometimes when a band haven’t created any new music together for a considerable amount of time they tend to slip from your memory somewhat. I remember listening to the Black Sabbath album Paranoid and becoming completely enthralled and mesmerised by this unique sound – it was unlike music I had ever heard before. Black Sabbath are hailed as the founders of heavy metal music which has subsequently spawned other genres such as death metal and thrash metal. You would be hard pushed to find a metal genre band that could genuinely say they have not been influenced by Black Sabbath in some way. The fact that the band has had such a long life span verifies their successful status in a commercial arena where it is normally difficult for metal music to achieve main stream success. The band has had numerous line up changes, my personal favourite is the early years when the band was fronted by Ozzy Osbourne, who has at previous points returned to the band for various stints and appearances. If you are not familiar with Black Sabbath take a listen to some classic singles such as Iron Man, Paranoid, War Pigs and Changes.
