BLACK SABBATH

Release Year: 2004
Artist Origin: ENG
Style: fundamental expressive doom heavy metal

this is quintessential sophomore longplay [1970] by heavy metal godfathers, simply a cornerstone in the genesis and history of metal as a genre, that gave impulse for a few subgenres to appear at once, especially when doom with all of its hazy variations is concerned; compositions are rich in both ear-splitting rock'n roll approach [War Pigs], and intricate rhythmic virtuosity, giving space for ambitious guitar and vocal improvisations - this way the cinematic Electric Funeral and mind-altering Planet Caravan are born; recent European edition with a remastered sound is expanded by twelve page booklet, featuring new liner notes and rare vintage images
