Joey Jordison: There would be no metal without Black Sabbath

Slipknot derummer, Joey Jordison, has heaped praise on the legendary English metal band, Black Sabbath, and has stressed that there would be no metal without Sabbath.

The band was formed way back in 1969 by Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward, and acclaimed worldwide fame with their unique heavy sound. The England-based metal band has released 18 studio albums with their last record, Forbidden, hitting the stored in 1995.

Jordison is among one of the Sabbath’s admirer, and has insisted that they were the original pioneers of heavy music.

“Without Black Sabbath, it’s simple. There’d be no metal. There have been other bands that were important in the history of the genre, but Black Sabbath were the ‘original pioneers of doom and heavy music’”, Jordison stated in an interview with Metalhammer.

He went on to reveal:

“Listen to ‘Into the Void,’ ‘Lord of This World,’ and ‘Sweet Leaf’. ‘Master of Reality’ is my favourite album and I’d have to say the song ‘Black Sabbath’ is my favourite track. It’s still got that chill today. I don’t care how old I get … I could be 70 and that song will still terrify me! It’s the only record that has frightened me on that level. That song alone blows everything out of the water”, Jordison concluded.
