One of my favourite things to do in a bid to remind myself how far ahead of their time Black Sabbath were is to watch the music video for their song ‘Paranoid’. You have to keep in mind when you go to watch this video that Black Sabbath are (rightly so) championed as being the founding fathers of heavy metal. The truth is, given Black Sabbath were one of the first bands to champion the heavy metal sound, record labels weren’t sure how they should market them. Black Sabbath pose for a press shot in 1970. 55 years after its release, after the creation of that out-of-touch music video, and this cut still sounds current and exciting.
