Black Sabbath, a British band formed in Birmingham in the late 1960s, is renowned for defining heavy metal in the 1970s. Their distinctive sound featured ominous guitar riffs, slow tempos, and Ozzy Osbourne's distinctive vocals, creating a dark and foreboding image. Despite initial critical disdain, their constant touring led to massive success, with songs like "Paranoid," "Iron Man," and "War Pigs" becoming metal classics. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006.21
