Pioneers of heavy metal, the mighty Black Sabbath remain an unmistakable presence on the rock n roll landscape. Whilst the release of their eponymous debut introduced the band to the world, it was with their second album Paranoid that Sabbath redefined the style and sound of a genre, and made one of the greatest rock records ever produced in the process. But following Ozzy Osbourne s sacking in 1979, the group lost their momentum, while Ozzy as a solo artist became one of the world s biggest stars. Now with three original members including the bat muncher himself, back recording together and planning a world tour, the group have come full circle as they illustrate to many of the new upstarts exactly what it means to be a rock band. Black Sabbath The Lowdown is a two-disc set that charts the amazing journey that first begun with four young residents of Aston in Birmingham, creating a legacy that to this day, continues to grow. By way of an audio biography, disc one chronicles the highs and the lows of Sabbath s long and illustrious career, whilst disc two features a selection of interviews from across the years with their iconic lead singer Ozzy Osbourne. Together, they provide a fascinating insight into life in one of the world s most legendary bands.
