On February 13 1970, a gritty underground rock and roll band from the industrial city of Birmingham in the English midlands released their debut album entitled Black Sabbath, and in the process ushered in a new form of music so drastic and uncompromising in both tone and heaviness, it was given what was then the rather derogatory name " Heavy Metal " by critics.

The band of course was Black Sabbath. Writing the song "Black Sabbath" while still under their previous moniker, Earth, it was bassist and lyricist Terry 'geezer' Butler who suggested they change their name to avoid confusion with another English band called Earth. His three Brummie bandmates agreed, and the sinister sounding "Black Sabbath," taken from an old Boris Karloff film of the same name, was born.

It was some seven months later that Black Sabbath would truly set the world of heavy rock music alight, with the release of what is widely considered to be the greatest heavy metal album ever recorded, the bands' second; Paranoid.
