These were the wilderness years after founding vocalist Ozzy Osbourne left the group and it often seemed as though Sabbath had fitted their tour bus with a revolving door--by 1986, guitarist Tony Iommi was the only founder member left in the group. Five different vocalists are featured in this programme: Ronnie James Dio (ex-Rainbow), Ian Gillan (ex-Deep Purple), Glenn Hughes, Geoff Nicholls and Tony Martin.The nine promo videos collected here are representatives of an era that all but the most die-hard of Sabbath fans have tried to forget. It is an ignominy that is richly merited. The kindest thing that can be said of this collection of awful 80s hair-metal soundtracking dreadful black-and-white videos of men with haircuts that not even German football players would be caught dead with is that it's an interesting period piece.On the DVD:The Black Sabbath Storyis presented in widescreen. Sound is available in Dolby 5.1 Surround or Dolby Digital. The menu of extras is badly laid out, but includes a gallery of Sabbath albums and further interviews with band members--including an extraordinary and hilarious reminiscence from Ian Gillan, which confirms that that Black Sabbath's reality was far more preposterous than any of the satirical conceits offered byThis Is Spinal Tap.--Andrew Mueller

Advantages: Just a great revolutionary album. Disadvantages: There aren't any proper ones.
This is pretty much the original heavy metal album. I don't think any heavy metal fan exists without this in their collection, and if they do then they need a slap really.
1 - BlackSabbath: We begin in a rainy graveyard type place... This sets the scene of what's to come. Unexpectedly (but very fittingly) the first riff is very very slow, but probably the heaviest thing ever heard at the time it was released. We hear Ozzy's voice slow and chillingly start to narrate a story. This goes on for some time and get's us set up for the album. Half way through the song there is a sudden tempo change and things start to kick off for the rest of the album. As a first Sabbath song ever, this is an absolutely essential song and because of that it cannot receive less than 10/10.
2 - The Wizard: Another absolute classic. A bit faster than the last ...
Advantages: sees Sabbath beginning to experiment successfully with new textures Disadvantages: lots of instrumental

Yet another groundbreaking powerhouse recording featuring some excellent guitar work.

Yet the classic Sabbath sound is still very much in evidence ...
Advantages: Classic Metal Disadvantages: not one for the Ozzy fans
By the end of the seventies, BlackSabbath had seem to have run their course, the albums were not selling so well, critical acclaim for their work was a thing of the past and frontman Ozzy Osbourne had quit the band. How do you come back from the brink under those circumstances. Against all the odds Balck Sabbath managed to pull off the ultimate coup, they recruited new frontman Ronnie James Dio and returned with what was widely hailed as their best album for almost a decade with 1980s Heaven and Hell.
Dio had come to prominence with country rock and blues outfit Elf, but it was as the frontman of Richie Blackmores Rainbow that he really perfected the style and voice that was to become his trademark. After a string of classic rock albums with Rainbow his placed was taken by the more commercial Graham Bonnett and Dio found himself ...
