The Enduring Impact of Black Sabbath
Formed in Birmingham in 1968, Black Sabbath pioneered the heavy metal genre with their dark, powerful riffs and thematic lyrics. Their influence extends far beyond their active years, with contemporary artists across multiple genres citing them as inspiration.
The band's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006 cemented their status as music legends. This recent loss marks another poignant moment in rock history, as the world remembers an artist who helped define a genre.
