Black Sabbath-Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (1973)

In 1973 Black Sabbath lived quite convulsive moments due to drug addiction by all its members, especially Ozzy Osbourne, so for the recording their fifth album they retired to a castle in Wales, in which Apparently it would be a quiet and remote environment, the perfect excuse to find the necessary inspiration to compose and record new material.
From that ancient castle and behind ancient walls, the band would create one of their best albums, but not without having gone through strange and complicated situations, throughout the recording process.
Apparently during the sessions, the presence of ghosts were common, on the other hand one of the rooms was the subject of an inexplicable fire.
As ugly as it was, the band did not stop getting high or getting drunk, as expected in such a strange place, and that that mysterious and dark medieval castle spread part of the dark charm and mystery to this magnificent work, with a remarkable eclectic effervescence in the spirit and spirit of his songs.
Will they be drugged or not, the mystery that permeates this album added to the musical quality left one of the philosophical works of heavy metal
In "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" the band seems to have reached compositional maturity opening their music with different nuances, well differentiated with respect to their previous works, and although they never renounced their darker roots with their devilish dense riffs and their dark rhythms, here they already included other instruments such as synthesizers and keyboards giving a more psychedelic touch to his music, highlighting themes such as the one that gives the album its title, a sublime and burly song that would become one of its classics.
The rest was an exercise in magical songs that mysteriously ran through the mazes of the dark place, such as the magnificent "Killing Yourself To Live", the psychedelic "Who Are You?", The rhythmic "Looking For Today" or the progressive medium "Spirit Architect ".
