Black Sabbath Discography
The discography of Black Sabbath, a heavy metal band from Birmingham, UK, consists of 18 studio albums, 5 live albums, 26 singles, and 8 video albums. This list does not include solo material released by members of Black Sabbath or the related group Heaven & Hell.
The band was formed in 1969 by Ozzy Osbourne (vocals), Tony Iommi (electric guitar), Terence "Geezer" Butler (bass guitar), and Bill Ward (drums). The band has since experienced multiple lineup changes. Though the last line-up of the band to work together were Ronnie James Dio, Vinny Appice, Iommi and Butler, for three new songs for a compilation in 2007, the original line-up is still considered the "current" lineup and has been since their reunion in 1997. The 2007 sessions were deemed a one-off which led to the Heaven and Hell side project, resulting in a new studio album in 2009 entitled 'The Devil You Know'. In November 2011 the original lineup announced plans to record a new studio album together; their first since 1978.

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or sabbath:
“O God, oh! of thine only worthy blood,
And my tears, make a heavenly Lethean flood,
And drown in it my sins’ black memory.
That thou remember them, some claim as debt;
I think it mercy, if thou wilt forget.”
—John Donne (1572–1631)
“Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: but the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.”
—Bible: Hebrew Exodus, 20:8-11.
