BLACK SABBATH-SABBATH BLOODY SABBATH (LP)

Doom..bloody doom..no band play it better than this..no thrash, death, black and whatever metal can beat this!! Black Sabbath no need to grind, growl..the vibes itself enough to make you shiver..
Released in 1973, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is the 5th output from this doom masters. Just looking at the cover you'll know that this is not a wimp band..wooooo...no sir. Nobody makes that mistake....In front, naked demons, snake.. eating flesh, 666, skulls and at the back some people (or angels??) mourning a man on death bed..The cover itself is weird..and you haven't even heard the songs yet.
This is Sabbath at its experimental stage..got some keyboard section (abundance in Who Are You?), orchestra strings, some acoustic (Fluff-to calm you down after Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and National Acrobat..)..but the songs still have all the Sabb's trademark..slow, heavy, some fast sections, slow and heavy again..downright evil!!
This LP is a reissue pressed in 1985 but the sound is superb!! Ozzy's voice is crystal clear, Geezer's fat bassline is in your face, Ward's lazy & heavy drumming make your head bobbed and Iommi's tri-tone make your head bobbed harder!! I also got this on CD but for real evil Sabb's sound, you got to listen 'em on LP!!

Now, can somebody please tell me what the hell is National Acrobat???
