Style: fundamental inflaming doom heavy metal

with myth and legend entwined, epic fifth longplay [1973] marks a pivotal evolution in the band's sound, blending raw heaviness of early era with sophisticated progressive elements and lyrical depth, resulting in a complex yet accessible masterpiece featuring Tony Iommi’s innovative guitar riffs, Ozzy Osbourne’s haunting vocals, and the band’s intricate instrumental interplay, developing wantonly satanic topics, supported by numinous and darkly sounding esoteric vibe, eventually turning into the corner stone of doom metal subgenre - such tracks as A National Acrobat, Killing Yourself to Live, Spiral Architect and the title hymn that has become the Sabbath trademark, are undeniable classics of heavy evocative music; recent European digipak re-issue comes with a remastered sound and sixteen page booklet, featuring an essential story of the album, written in conjunction with Bill Ward, as well as rare pictures and other memorabilia
