Toni Iommi, Geezer Butler, Bill Ward, Ozzy Osbourne - four names that still resonate in recorded rock history, as clear and sublime as the haunting chime at the beginning of their namesake debut album from 1970. Together they formed Black Sabbath and invented the most unforgettable and hypnotic sound of all time.
"Paranoid" is the seminal Black Sabbath album that cemented their place in rock history. Packed with heavy riffs and iconic tracks like "Iron Man" and the title track, it defined the sound of heavy metal. With its dark, rebellious tone and raw power, "Paranoid" became not only a critical success, but also a cultural touchstone that influenced generations of rock and metal bands.
