EP42: Black Sabbath - Vol 4

Sabbath's first three albums invented stoner metal and "Sweet Leaf" from 1971's Master of Reality was the coughing exclamation point on the genre.  Vol 4 would begin the band's three album cocaine cycle. Not only did Snowblind directly address the drugs hold on the band at the time but the entire record's energy, pace and production all somehow benefit from the speedy haze that misers Osbourne, Iommi, Butler & Ward were living in while writing and recording the album's ten songs at the Bel Air mansion of the now infamous John Du Pont.      Recommended Listening, Watching & Reading Scorpions "Sails of Charon" Live 1978 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zs5NOrYYV2s   Screaming Trees "Tomorrow's Dream: https://open.spotify.com/track/2Ol6qir0TWnPoxaW1PBwgp?si=080746da7f6f4bde   1000 Homo DJs' "Supernaut" https://open.spotify.com/track/1LkYAkYzqq7TbJTGfx3ixY?si=7dc03406c3f04514   Charles Bradley "Changes" https://open.spotify.com/track/3HC6U39266ytr7fMW9M2Mz?si=aff70203956e4e22   Sleep "Snowblind" https://open.spotify.com/track/0NIoNL2KL9UdIWbtKq3FNr?si=2fbf482ed1d4453b   HHP Spotify Playlist  https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2qkURdYib8hLz8s20D9yTC?si=1526168526854a62   HHP on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@the.history.of.hea?_t=ZP-8z7me40bcbu&_r=1   HHP Instagram https://instagram.com/the_history_of_heavy   @historyofheavy
