Originally released in 1971, Master of Reality is the legendary third studio album from British heavy metal pioneers Black Sabbath, featuring Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward.
Blending crushing guitar riffs, dark atmospheres, thunderous rhythms and Ozzy Osbourne's unmistakable vocals, Master of Reality helped shape the sound of heavy metal, doom metal and stoner rock for generations to come.
Featuring iconic tracks such as "Sweet Leaf", "Children of the Grave", "Lord of This World" and "Into the Void", the album delivers a powerful mix of slow, heavy grooves, psychedelic influences and unforgettable guitar-driven anthems.
