Black Sabbath, widely regarded as the pioneers of heavy metal, emerged from the industrial city of Birmingham, England, in 1968. The band’s origins lie in the friendship and musical collaboration between guitarist Tony Iommi and drummer Bill Ward, who had been playing together in various bands. They eventually joined forces with vocalist Ozzy Osbourne and bassist Geezer Butler to form Earth, a blues rock group. However, the name Earth clashed with another band, and the members sought a new identity that would reflect the darker, heavier sound they were developing.
