Heaviest Black Sabbath Song Ever?

I vote for Into The Void, though tracks like Electric Funeral, Cornucopia and Under The Sun are strong contenders.

 

Hole In The Sky should be in the running.

 

Hard to measure Heavy.
I reckon the original "Black Sabbath" track was the epitome of Heavy

 

War Pigs:

 

Disturbing The Priest
Zero The Hero

 

They have a lot . I would put the song Black Sabbath in there. Also Children Of The Grave, Zero The Hero, Sign Of The Southern Cross

 

I guess this one, cause its sooooo obvious:

Black Sabbath - Iron Man

 

Symptom Of The Universe

 

"Sweet Leaf" for me.

 

I always felt "Under the Sun" especially the closing, was. It just drags you under.

 

Symptom of the Universe

WOW. Heavy

/Neil

 

Blow on a Jug, obviously.

 

With a density of 7.86 g/cm3 I would have to agree!

 

5 heaviest for me:

Into the Void
Hole In The Sky
Sweet Leaf
War Pigs
Black Sabbath

 

Everything they did was “heavy” in one way or another, even songs like “Changes”, but “Black Sabbath” is the total lyrical+musical package and represents the opening statement of not only he band, but the Metal genre itself. I mean, detuned instruments playing a repeated tritone underneath Ozzy’s deranged vocals regarding a confrontation with Satan is one hell of a way to launch a genre and about as “heavy” as it gets!

“Hand of Doom”, “Symptom of the Universe”, and “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath” also always stood out to me as being particularly intense.

 

No way. By the time of Born Again Iommi's tone had become the typical 80s anemic "wasps in a jar" buzz which totally ruins any true heaviness in these tunes. It's all over-scooped high end fizz with no midrange guts whatsoever. Nothing like the bone crushing tone of their first few albums. I vote for either "Black Sabbath" or "Iron Man".

 

Snowblind

 

Wheels of Confusion or Dirty Women

 

E5150 is good too

 

That was my gateway Sabbath song... they played it on local AM radio on a Friday night when the album was new, didn't pre-announce anything, it just started... I was like "what the heck is this?", "who the heck is this?"... once I found out, I took the bus across town to the local Woolco Department store that had the album on sale for $3.99!

... now that's heavy!

 

Black Sabbath...by the band Black Sabbath...off the album Black Sabbath...nuff said.


Heavy.

 

Black Sabbath, no competition that's the one.

 

Iron Man...you can feel the weight. ; )

 

Disturbing The Priest.

 

that's up there! it's the first song I heard by them on their debut album...I was stunned!
