Black Sabbath: The Illustrated Lyrics, Vol 1: Supernatural Horror in Music

The first in a series of eight books that explores every lyric from the band’s 1970s canon, Black Sabbath: The Illustrated Lyrics Vol 1 provides an in-depth examination of Black Sabbath’s iconic debut album, including “lost” songs from their early days as Earth, and over 170 powerful and haunting images from some of the most acclaimed names in the world of art, from visionary contemporary illustrators to arcane masters of old. Black Sabbath’s lyrics have been misheard, misunderstood and misinterpreted since they were first released. Here, at last, is the definitive analysis of the band’s soul-searing message and themes, their dark warnings, anti-war protest songs and apocalyptic visions! Black Sabbath: The Illustrated Lyrics goes beneath the surface where few have gone before to uncover the truth behind the greatest musical force to ever storm the earth!
