ABOUT BLACK SABBATH
"Black Sabbath is credited with creating heavy metal," according to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They released eight (8) studio albums from 1970-1978. The success of their first two albums--Black Sabbath and Paranoid--marked a paradigm shift in the world of rock. Black Sabbath's legendary second album, Paranoid (1970) contained such classic tracks as "Iron Man," "Paranoid" and "War Pigs." Their next two albums - Master of Reality (1971) and Vol. 4 (1972) exhibited enhanced range and ambition and the title track to the group’s fifth album, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (1973), ranks among their finest moments. Black Sabbath has sold more than 75 million albums worldwide and was inducted in to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006. The release of 13 on June 11, 2013, marks Black Sabbath's first studio album together since 1978 and debuted at #1. After almost 44 years, the band continues to be as vital as ever. They spent the better part of 2013 on a sold-out worldwide arena tour and were recently nominated for three Grammy awards in both the Rock and Metal categories.
