Scott's Heavy Metal Track of the Day - Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath

Today's Metal Track is another from the band and the album that started it all, Black Sabbath. This self-titled track is the opener on the band's self-titled album which came out on Friday the 13th February 1970. I love the way this song opens. It is so haunting and eerie.

Can you imagine what it was like hear this for the first time in 1970? It was the beginning of a new genre of music. Interestingly, the album received negative reviews when it was first released because the mainstream critics were idiots and they just didn't know what to think of this style of music.
