The song’s slow, heavy, and sludgy guitar riffs, courtesy of Tony Iommi, create an oppressive atmosphere, while Geezer Butler’s thunderous basslines and Bill Ward’s pounding drums enhance the song’s intensity. Ozzy Osbourne’s distinct and haunting vocals add an additional layer of depth, guiding the listener into the abyss. “Into the Void is from their 1971 album” Masters of Reality” and stands as a reminder of Black Sabbath’s monumental contribution to the evolution of heavy metal and their enduring legacy as pioneers of darkness.
