Rather than using the Black Sabbath name (as the original line-up is still officially in place), they were called Heaven and Hell, after the first Dio-era album. The "Mob Rules" line-up of Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, Ronnie James Dio and Vinny Appice reunited in 2007. Their lyrics dealt with darker issues than most conventional rock as well.Īccordingly, the "doom" genre name came from their "Paranoid" release, with the song called "Hand of Doom." Stoner metal is another sub-genre that is a direct descendant from this band. Thus, this was known as heavy metal, and in due time, the band became what is now known as doom metal.
Originally, they started as a blues-influenced hard rock group, but as they progressed they added more European folk elements to their sound, a sound that wasn't like any other group during their time. They may have also went by the name The Earth Blues Company in their pre-Black Sabbath days. Originally they were called Polka Tulk (featuring a saxophonist and slide guitarist in their line-up) before changing to Earth, a name they had to change again because of confusion with another band of the same name.
