Description

Paranoid is Black Sabbath’s seismic second album — a genre-defining slab of heavy metal that fused apocalyptic riffs, anti-war themes, and psychedelic dread. This 2015 Sanctuary reissue is pressed on 180g heavyweight vinyl, housed in a deluxe gatefold sleeve, and includes a replica inner sleeve with original artwork. Remastered from the original analogue tapes, the pressing delivers thunderous low-end and crisp detail, ideal for the album’s iconic guitar tone and haunting atmosphere.

Produced by Rodger Bain and recorded at Regent Sound Studios and Island Studios in London, the album features the classic lineup of Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward. With legendary tracks like “War Pigs,” “Iron Man,” “Electric Funeral,” and the title track “Paranoid,” the album became Sabbath’s commercial breakthrough — reaching No. 1 in the UK and earning quadruple platinum certification in the US. It remains one of the most influential rock albums of all time.
