SABBATH BLOODY SABBATH

"ONE OF MY FAVOURITE ALBUMS. THANK YOU FREAKO PILURZU FOR HAVING THAT TAPE IN YOUR CAR 10 YEARS AGO IN COSTA RICA..."

SABBATH BLOODY SABBATH IS THE FIFTH STUDIO ALBUM BY THE BRITISH HEAVY METAL BAND BLACK SABBATH, RELEASED IN DECEMBER 1973. WITH THIS ALBUM, THE BAND EXPANDED UPON THEIR SLOW, CRUNCHING STYLE OF MUSIC BY ADDING STRINGS, KEYBOARDS AND MORE COMPLEX ORCHESTRAL ARRANGEMENTS.

DREW STRUZAN WAS THE ARTIST REQUESTED TO DO THE COVER PAINTING, UNDER THE DIRECTION OF ERNIE CEFALU. IT DEPICTS A MAN ON A BED, SEEMINGLY HAVING A NIGHTMARE OR A VISION OF BEING ATTACKED BY DEMONS IN HUMAN FORM. AT THE TOP OF THE BED IS A LARGE SKULL WITH LONG, OUTSTRETCHED ARMS AND 666 (THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST) WRITTEN BELOW IT.
