Black Sabbath, "Paranoid" LP, 180 Gram Vinyl

Black Sabbath – Paranoid (180g Vinyl, Limited Edition)

Black Sabbath didn’t just make a great record with Paranoid—they basically defined heavy metal.

Released in 1970, this album is all riffs, atmosphere, and attitude. Tony Iommi’s guitar tone alone changed everything, while Ozzy Osbourne brings that raw, unmistakable voice that pulls it all together.

“War Pigs,” “Iron Man,” “Paranoid,” “Fairies Wear Boots”—every track feels like a blueprint for what came after. This isn’t just a classic—it’s the foundation.
