''Black Sabbath'' is the debut album by Music/BlackSabbath, released on [[MeaningfulReleaseDate Friday, February 13]], 1970. Widely considered the first true HeavyMetal album, it was recorded within only a 12-hour period between a few European gigs. The lyrics deal with far darker themes than their contemporaries, dealing with occultism, Satanism, and Lovecraftian horrors, and the trademark dark banjo-stringed guitar, alongside Ozzy Osbourne's vocals, made it even more radical and unique.
