Master of Reality (2014 Remaster) is the enhanced version of Black Sabbath’s third studio album, Master of Reality, originally released in 1971. Widely regarded as a cornerstone of heavy metal, the album introduced slower, heavier riffs and a darker atmosphere, helping define the genre’s sound.
The album features classics such as “Sweet Leaf,” “Children of the Grave,” and “Into the Void,” showcasing the band’s innovative use of downtuned guitars and lyrical themes ranging from counterculture to existentialism. Tony Iommi’s groundbreaking riffs, Geezer Butler’s philosophical lyrics, Ozzy Osbourne’s haunting vocals, and Bill Ward’s thunderous drumming all contribute to the album’s enduring legacy.
The 2014 remastered version brings improved clarity and depth to the original recordings, allowing fans to experience the album’s raw power with a modern polish. Master of Reality has been praised by critics and fans alike, often cited as one of the most influential heavy metal albums of all time.
