The Tri tone in this song really have a good effect. If your not troubled by the evil sounding interval though.
Man never heard this before. AWESOME!!!!
@BRYANJONATHAN13 It’s not that simple mate. Obviously a little disheartened by current metal. There are good bands out there so I suppose thats why you said most. Like gold when you find one you enjoy so much…
So Awsome!
@gomes1258 hell yeah man same
but idlove to have that cover though
The woman here like actual ozzy
@MrXipis
read ozzy’s book.
so dark , so cool, so right.
@cubby3o5 seconded
@TheRobertwells gayest comment I’ve ever read.
El inventor del METAL YEAHHHHHHHHH
Uriah Heep were a bunch of fags…
metal was a new level of rock n roll blues,,,plus to scare religious people for its evil style,,,,but now most of it has no purpose
damn, I hate to listen this song while staring at that cover…..
m/
Sabbath forged the metal, Priest sharpened the steel
it isn’t the beggining of HM . Uriah Heep was it
yes your right i can here sabbath like this in mental funeral ecspecialy songs lie in the grip of winter
@BrimstoneLandscapes Ha, I know. But i’m just saying. Autopsy has a lot of riffs that were probably inspired through early stuff like this.
@hmmrsmshdfc Lawl, Sabbath came out way before Autopsy.
True metal starts here. End of story.
No, this is live performance in John Peel’s ‘Sunday Show’ (BBC Radio 1, Sunday 26th April).
This is demo?
@ollyortiz Its not really an “official” thing. But still, alot of people consider this to be the song that really defined the heavy metal sound.
many other bands contributed to the start of metal…
blue cheer, lucifers friend, budgie, captain beyond are a few prime examples.
