Black Sabbath - Master Of Reality Gatefold Vinyl 12"
Black Sabbath's Master of Reality returns in this remastered 180-gram gatefold vinyl edition, restoring the album's crushing low-end and iconic haze-drenched atmosphere with renewed clarity. Born from necessity — Tony Iommi's severed fingertips forced him to detune his guitar to reduce string tension, accidentally inventing one of the heaviest sounds in rock history — Master of Reality is the album where that tuning became a weapon. Ozzy Osbourne, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward lock in around Iommi's down-tuned riffs to create the blueprint for stoner doom, sludge, and every heavy subgenre that followed.
Pressed on heavyweight 180g vinyl and housed in a faithful gatefold sleeve, this 2016 Rhino remaster brings out the full depth of Sabbath's third studio album — from the smoke-thick groove of "Sweet Leaf" to the apocalyptic stomp of "Children of the Grave" and the haunting drift of "Solitude."
