Black Sabbath were among the first pioneers of heavy metal, and their work has had a profound influence on generations of metal artists. Choices they made on their early albums have had ripple effects through the decades, helping shape the genre into what it is today, so in order to better understand one of my favorite styles of music, I thought it was finally time to go back to the source. Iron Man is one of the most enduring tracks from those early Sabbath days, and its almost cinematic approach to songwriting makes it a classic in its own right.
