BLACK SABBATH have shared live footage of the classic song “Paranoid”, which comes from their new farewell live release, “The End”. This performance of the song closed out the band’s final live show, which took place February 4th, 2017 at the Genting Arena in Birmingham, England. “The End” will be released on November 17th.
Black Sabbath has been so influential in the development of heavy metal rock music as to be a defining force in the style. The group took the blues-rock sound of late ’60s acts like Cream, Blue Cheer, and Vanilla Fudge to its logical conclusion, slowing the tempo, accentuating the bass, and emphasizing screaming guitar solos and howled vocals full of lyrics expressing mental anguish and macabre fantasies. If their predecessors clearly came out of an electrified blues tradition, Black Sabbath took that tradition in a new direction, and in so doing helped give birth to a musical style that continued to attract millions of fans decades later.
