Black Sabbath is the debut album by the rock band Black Sabbath. Although it was poorly received by most contemporary music critics at the time, Black Sabbath is now widely considered the first heavy metal album.

According to Black Sabbath guitarist and founder member Tony Iommi, the group's debut album was recorded in a single day on 16 October 1969. The session lasted twelve hours. Iommi said: "We just went in the studio and did it in a day, we played our live set and that was it. We actually thought a whole day was quite a long time, then off we went the next day to play for £20 in Switzerland." 

Sabbath vocalist Ozzy Osbourne has always spoken fondly of the recording of the band's debut album, stating in his autobiography I Am Ozzy, "Once we'd finished, we spent a couple of hours double-tracking some of the guitar and vocals, and that was that. Done. We were in the pub in time for last orders. It can't have taken any longer than twelve hours in total. That's how albums should be made, in my opinion." Drummer Bill Ward agrees, telling Guitar World in 2001, "I think the first album is just absolutely incredible. It's naïve, and there's an absolute sense of unity – it's not contrived in any way, shape or form. We weren't old enough to be clever. I love it all, including the mistakes!"

Black Sabbath marks the birth of heavy metal as we now know it. The album transcends its clear roots in blues-rock and psychedelia to become something more. Released by Warner Bros. on 180 gram coloured vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve.
