When Black Sabbath released their eponymous debut record in 1970 out of the grime and thick metallic air of industrial Birmingham, it was a sound no one had ever heard before and proved to be the genesis of heavy metal. From that point, rock music changed forever, with that influence inspiring the likes of Iron Maiden and Metallica which continue to sell out arenas and stadiums worldwide to this day.
