I don't feel like Black Sabbath are Satanic. I have listened to Paranoid and Master of Reality, so I am not knowledgable on every single song. I know they are even mentioned on JoS so this is going against super popular opinion. I think their music is awesome, was otherworldly for the time and they are incredibly talented. However you do not have to be Satanist to be conscious about worldly issues. You do not have to be Satanic to use Satanic symbols and imagery to decieve. And you do not have to be Satanic to be the pioneers of Heavy Metal.
I have my suspicions about Sharon Rachel Osbourne (born Sharon Rachel Levy, by the fucking way) - his London born wife - because one "Rachel Osbourne" from London was in Jeffrey Epstein's Black book. It might not be her. She doesn't seem like the type. Neither did the rest of them though. Anyway, "allegedly" and all that. Go look for yourself.
They admit on their live DVD that they did not intend to create "heavy metal" as a genre, they only wanted to experiment with a "heavy" sound. They treat anything supernatural that happened to them (one of them said an entity "pointed" at him and disappeared) as cheesy/corny, like a bonfire story or fuel for their cheesy songs (Black Sabbath eg.).
The #1 song I've seen mentioned to push the "Black Sabbath = Satanic" case is War Pigs.
"Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerer of death's construction
...
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan laughing, spreads his wings
Oh lord, yeah"
Don't get me wrong, it's a great song. But we're talking about "is it Satanic". I think it's on track...
So... that first verse clearly likens "evil" witches to military battlefields, implying that they kill and destroy in the same way, and that is their only intent. A bit rude and misguided but I can see why people let it slide, as it could be metaphoric. However, I'd be surprised if they could come up with metaphors that fucked up on drugs. Anyway, that is simply strike one for me and leaves me suspicious for the rest of the song.
(The verses I left out are anti-political, anti-war and it's the closest thing to Satanic in the song, in my opinion, but Satan is left unmentioned intentionally.)
The next verse, well... I admit I am conflicted. I can see the perspective that perhaps Satan is being referred to as "God", in this case it would confirm it's a Satanic song. But I personally (from the tone of the first verse) have seen it through the lens of "God vs Satan", and Satan "enjoying" - laughing - at the bloody spectacle. Made out like the villain, again.
The fact that a good chunk of their songs, are simply love songs to drugs, we can deduce that conscious issues were not their priority. They admit most of their squabbling and kicking out members (Ozzy included) was because of drugs.
Now if I were to cherry pick one song of theirs to push the "Black Sabbath = Satanic" perspective, I have always felt like it would actually be Children of the Grave. Sadly, a far, far lesser known song.
"Revolution in their minds the children start to march
Against the world in which they have to live
And all the hate that's in their hearts
They're tired of being pushed around
And told just what to do
They'll fight the world until they've won
And love comes flowing through, yeah
Children of tomorrow live in the tears that fall today
Will the sun rise up tomorrow bringing peace in any way?
Must the world live in the shadow of atomic fear?
Can they win the fight for peace or will they disappear, yeah
So you children of the world
Listen to what I say
If you want a better place to live in
Spread the words today
Show the world that love is still alive you must be brave
Or you children of today are children of the grave, yeah"
This song would almost - almost have me take back what I said earlier. These lyrics, they feel like they're straight off the tongue of a Demon, perhaps even Satan himself. I find myself struggling to make a case against this song. So, you know what - I won't. I'm just going to leave it as is.
I don't have much more information, so.. in conclusion. I don't think Black Sabbath were Satanic themselves at all, but they were unintentional messengers for a Satanic agenda, despite being on drugs to the point of almost dying, which is admittedly quite impressive. I truly don't think they knew what they were doing. Of course I could be wrong, but this is simply my perspective.
