Começando com o album de estreia homónimo em 1970, a mestria da música criada por Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler e Bill Ward - jovens amigos do Norte de Inglaterra - foi a fundação que definiu o heavy metal. Durante os anos 70 este grupo de músicos fabulosos editou oito albums que marcaram a história do género, este é o primeiro dessa série.

Starting with Sabbath's eponymous 1970 debut album, the menacing and masterful music made by Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward - youthful friends from Northern England - laid the blueprint for, and ultimately defined, heavy metal. Throughout the '70s, this stellar original lineup - whose signature sound fused crushing minor key intensity, indelible riffs, and a blues rock foundation - delivered eight landmark albums. At the decade's end, Ozzy departed for astronomical solo fame, but his lead vocals on this astounding octet set the standard for every head banger to come.

The self-titled debut studio album was originally released in 1970. The album has been recognized as one of the main releases to be credited with the development of the heavy metal genre. Upon it's initial release in the U.S., the album reached number 23 on the Billboard 200 and remained there for over a year.

"...would influence not only future metal spawn but even the sound of Nirvana" - Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time

"...as irreducible as the bottomless sea, the everlasting sky, and the mortal soul...The rumbling sludge of heavy metal was inevitable, lying in long wait to be introduced by Black Sabbath" - Ian Christe

"Recorded in a single twelve-hour blurt by a hippie-leaning former blues band, this lumbering debut conjures up a new, sludgy sound: the birth pains of heavy metal. The slide guitar on "Wizard" and the grungy boogie of "Wicked World" would influence not only future metal spawn but even the sound of Nirvana." - Rolling Stone
