Black Sabbath may be the founders of heavy metal but Nick and Shannon mostly floated on the surface with their music. Sure, everyone knows "Paranoid" and "Iron Man" but Nick and Shannon are here to dive deep into the layers of metal and what makes Sabbath so delicious. Luckily, their friend Carlos Madrid is here to walk hand and hand with the Discography Divers through the gates of hell so Nick and Shannon do not need to face satan and the apocalypse alone.
This is the first episode the Discography Divers cover part of a band's career. Ozzy Osbourne help found Black Sabbath but only recorded their first eight albums with the original lineup. He returned for their (as of now) final album 13 in 2013. Sabbath put out a lot of great music but this episode is all about the transformative Ozzy years and how his return to the group created closure.
