Black Sabbath Pt. 1 (1970-1975)

EDITORS NOTE: As of 2026 I have updated and made a new episode about the history of Black Sabbath for the 10th anniversary of the podcast. Its available to watch on YouTube HERE or stream wherever you listen to podcasts.

Welcome to the first episode of the Heavy Metal History Podcast!

In our first episode we talk about the band that started it all, Black Sabbath! We go in depth of the bands start of their career between the years 1970-1975, their recording process for each album as well as interesting and little known facts about the band.

While maybe not the exact beginnings of Heavy Metal, Black Sabbath truly pushed the sonic boundaries of sound and shaped the way the genre would evolve and grow. Throughout the 70’s the band was an absolute power house in terms of writing, recording and touring. This cemented their legacy long before anyone in the band would realize it. Their output in the bands first 5 years see’s easily the some of the bands most well known and prolific work. I attempt to dissect and go behind the scenes of the making of each one of these albums, with various stories, audio clips and facts to tell the history of the Metal genres biggest fore fathers.

Albums I discussed this week:

Black Sabbath - "Black Sabbath"
Black Sabbath - "Paranoid"
Black Sabbath - "Master of Reality"
Black Sabbath - "Vol.4"
Black Sabbath - "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath"
Black Sabbath - "Sabotage"
