Black Sabbath Pt. 2 (1975-1980)

Welcome to this weeks episode of Heavy Metal History. This week we pick up where we left off in the history of the progenitors of the genre. We go through the years 1976-1980 of Black Sabbath’s storied career discussing the drug fueled creations of Black Sabbath during a completely toxic and almost un inspired part of their career. A time that was mired by excessive drug use, lawsuits, divorce and a growing disolvement between original members of the band. This was during “Technical Ecstasy” and Never Say Die”.These albums are a fascinating tale of excess and the inevitable toll it takes on creativity. And we finish of the bands history with a massive shake up in its original long lasting line-up that lead to a resurgence and one of the best albums of their career with addition of the legendary Ronnie James Dio taking over lead vocal duties after the departure of Ozzy Osborne.Albums I discussed this week: Black Sabbath - "Technical Ecstasy" Black Sabbath - "Never Say Die!" Black Sabbath - "Heaven and Hell"  Follow the Podcast!⁠Facebook ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠YouTube⁠
