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:
“I know no East or West, North or South, when it comes to my class fighting the battle for justice. If it is my fortune to live to see the industrial chain broken from every workingman’s child in America, and if then there is one black child in Africa in bondage, there shall I go.”
—Mother Jones (1830–1930)
“Only man thinning out his kind
sounds through the Sabbath noon, the blind
swipe of the pruner and his knife
busy about the tree of life . . .”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
