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:
“We black women must forgive black men for not protecting us against slavery, racism, white men, our confusion, their doubts. And black men must forgive black women for our own sometimes dubious choices, divided loyalties, and lack of belief in their possibilities. Only when our sons and our daughters know that forgiveness is real, existent, and that those who love them practice it, can they form bonds as men and women that really can save and change our community.”
—Marita Golden, educator, author. Saving Our Sons, p. 188, Doubleday (1995)
“Some keep the Sabbath going to church;
I keep it staying at home,”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
