Black Sabbath – Symptom of the Universe Hit Songs Deconstructed Deconstructing Today's Hits for Songwriting Success http://reports.hitsongsdeconstructed.com Penn’s Pick: Black Sabbath – Symptom Of The Universe Band: Black Sabbath Song Symptom Of The Universe Writers: Butler, Iommi, Osbourne, Ward Year Released: 1975 Genre: Heavy Metal Why it’s a “Penn’s Pick”: The true origin of heavy metal is subject to debate. Bands like The Kinks, The Sonics, Blue Cheer, Iron Butterfly, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and even the Beatles (e.g. Helter Skelter) were all pivotal in its evolution, but when you really get down to it, they were all more “Hard Rock” in nature than “Metal.” Black Sabbath on the other hand was the first band that TRULY defined (and invented for that matter) the genre. They had the riffs, the lyrics, the look and the “doom and gloom” to boot which enabled them to stand apart from their aforementioned contemporaries. Initially formed in 1968 as the blues band Earth, each member of Sabbath was crucial to its impact and sound. This includes Bill Ward (crushing drums), Geezer Butler (one of the most underrated bass players of all time who also wrote the majority of the lyrics), Ozzy Osbourne (the name speaks for itself), and one of the true riff masters of all time, Toni Iommi. Together they released 8 albums during their 1970?s heyday, the first 6 of which contain some of the most important compositions in metal history, including Black Sabbath, Iron Man, Children Of The Grave and Paranoid, to name just a few of many. There is one song, however, that possesses one of the nastiest, most brutal riffs ever, and has stood the test of time as one of the heaviest songs ever written. That song is Symptom Of The Universe. Released on their Sabotage album back in 1975, the song finds the band operating at the peak of their powers and compositional prowess. Check out this live version culled from the band’s 1978 Never Say Die tour to hear the song at its most raw and brutal. And don’t forget to crank it REAL loud for maximum impact! 1 / 1 Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

  • Ozzy Osbourne's First Solo Album in Ten Years Ordinary
    OZZY OSBOURNE’S FIRST SOLO ALBUM IN TEN YEARS ORDINARY MAN DEBUTS AT #3 ON THE BILLBOARD TOP 200 #1 ON TOP ROCK ALBUMS CHART #1 ROCK ALBUM IN THE WORLD (Los Angeles, CA – March 2, 2020) – Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and Grammy®-winning singer and songwriter OZZY OSBOURNE has bowed at #3 on the Billboard Top 200 with his first new solo album in ten years, the critically acclaimed ORDINARY MAN (Epic Records). This marks his fifth consecutive Top 5 entry and sixth Top 10 entry on the respective chart. It also places ahead of his most recent offering, SCREAM, which arrived at #4 in 2010. ORDINARY MAN has also captured #1 on the Billboard Top Rock Albums Chart, making it the number one rock album in the world! Additionally, it ascends to #2 on the Billboard Albums Chart (Pure Album Sales), making for his highest entry. Overseas, he shattered various records. It became his highest solo debut ever in the UK, Germany, Switzerland, Australia, Italy and Austria in addition to being his second #1 in Sweden. Get it here. Right out of the gate, this opus earned some of the best reviews of OZZY’s five-decade career. Variety called it, “an almost Bowie-‘Blackstar’-like farewell to friends and fans” and concluded, “With a really good—even at times great—album, OZZY OSBOURNE shows off, at the very least, that he’ll never be ordinary.” Forbes dubbed it, “a truly impressive one that deepens OSBOURNE’s sentimental place in rock and metal music.” Rolling Stone wrote, “Decades after he howled out ‘Oh, please, God, help me’ on ‘Black Sabbath,’ OZZY is still bravely confronting the dark side as only he can.” Consequence of Sound put it best, “There’s light still shining on the Prince of Darkness.” Next up, OZZY shares the music video for “Scary Little Green Men” starring none other than Jason Momoa [Aquaman].

  • Psaudio Copper
    Issue 133 MARCH 29TH, 2021 Copper has a new look! So does the rest of the PS Audio website, the result of countless hours of hard work. There's more functionality and easier access to articles, and additional developments will come. There will be some temporary glitches and some tweaks required – like high-end audio systems, magazines sometimes need tweaking too – but overall, we're excited to provide a better and more enjoyable reading experience. I now hand over the column to our esteemed Larry Schenbeck: Dear Copper Colleagues and Readers, Frank has graciously asked if I’d like to share a word or two about my intention to stop writing Too Much Tchaikovsky. So: thanks to everyone who read and enjoyed it – I wrote it for you. If you added comments occasionally, you made my day. I also wrote the column so I could keep learning, especially about emerging creatives and performers in classical music. Getting the chance to stumble upon something new and nourishing had sustained me in the academic world – it certainly wasn’t the money! – and I was grateful to continue that in Copper. So why stop? Because, as they say, there is a season. It has become considerably harder for me to stumble upon truly fresh sounds and then write freshly thereon. Here I am tempted to quote Douglas Adams or Satchel Paige, who both knew how to deliver an exit line. But I’ll just say (since Frank has promised to leave the light on), goodbye for now. The door is open, Larry, and we can’t thank you enough for your wonderful contributions.

That's pretty much what this is, just another metal record among them. They are a rigid society that has been hidden from their inception. I liked this better than Master of the Night. Thanks to the dude who will! There are some other driving forces to this album. The frist type is the slow, doom like kind. Album Rating: 3. I'm having a hard time explaining why. When will companies learn it doesn't pay to try and cut corners. Jeff Pilson bass is very audible considering the songs have a very low end bass feel to them. Oct 05, Karen rated it liked it Shelves: paranormal , romance , fiction. Welcome back. Nothing groundbreaking, no modern classic, just another fun addition to your metal CD collection. Master of the Moon is a good album nonetheless. The main problem I have is that the story is a near complete carbon copy of Jane's Warlord , with a few things changed. Metacritic Reviews. This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. I am disappointed, really disappointed…. Nick Sylvia Syms A Latent must be approved by the Magi or Majae councils. She is quick witted, even if Llyr doesn't always get her 21st cent. He puts his peoples well-being before anything else. Definitely worth checking out though it may be a little slow Also, lyrics are totally weird.

  • “Extinction(S)”
    “Extinction(s)” Available as: CD, orange LP + CD, Digital Album Release Date: November 23rd , 2018 UNEARTH etched their name into the annals of hard rock history through unrelenting determination, tireless energy and a catalog of stone cold classics. Two decades into a triumphant career, the Massachusetts-bred New Wave of American Heavy Metal trailblazers are both elder statesmen and newly relevant all over again. With over a half million albums sold around the globe, UNEARTH’S astounding legacy has never been more self- evident. Festival vets and road warrior renegades, UNEARTH was a standout in a sea of worthy contenders on the final cross-country Warped Tour. Immediately upon its release in 2018, “Incinerate,” the first single from their seventh studio album, shot to Number 1 on SiriusXM Liquid Metal’s “The Devil’s Dozen” and was among the Top 100 most played songs on Amazon Music. The hunger for new music from UNEARTH was palpable and Extinction(s) delivered in spades. There could be no clearer demonstration of the band’s resilience and the unwavering passion of their worldwide fanbase - a diverse legion of heavy music acolytes who live and breathe the community, culture, and lifestyle UNEARTH represents. Extinction(s) is as much a statement of purpose as a declaration of intent, reigniting the flame of their established strengths and carving a pathway for another two decades of creative accomplishment and inspired live performances. The album is full of venom toward the wrongs of the world, fighting back against the precarious position civilization is in, determined to effect some kind of change.
