Black Sabbath
English rock band formed in Birmingham in 1968 as Earth, renamed in 1969 after a Boris Karloff horror film playing at a cinema across from their rehearsal space. The title track of their self-titled 1970 debut album, built on a tritone riff Tony Iommi called "the devil's interval," is widely credited as the first heavy metal song.
