Quite the opposite. It's the Devil's Triad, which had been banned by the Catholic Church for a long time. It was a deliberate chord choice, but what was born from it was incidental.
Fun fact: Olivier Messiaen was a church organist and composer absolutely obsessed with the tritone. He based his harmonization method on tritones rather than fifths, claiming that the tritone evoked the sense of wonder far more than the traditional fifth. This was quite a while before Sabbath.
Ahh the moment Black Sabbath changed music forever! I gotta say that even though the song is pretty simple I love playing "War Pigs" it's fun as hell. Well done Mr. Hall
The last bit with the band meeting actually evokes what it was probably like to be in Black Sabbath and how they were perceived with the whole dark arts angle; in the old days of long ago rock stars were once scary and mysterious.
@Sound Mind I also heard a story that once Satanists turned up outside sabbaths hotel room and were chanting satanic shit with candles, Ozzy went out and started singing happy birthday to them until they got sick of him and left lmao
The Attack Attack clip from Stick Stickly made me smile. Still a fan of AA, metalcore I've listened to since i was 12, and all things scene. Those were the good ol days
@@ItsRyan265 I suggest you to listen some music from the 60': Beatles, Rolling Stones, Kinks, Yardbirds, Cream, Beach Boys, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash. So many great groups and artists.
Actually cool thing about that song is that particular tritone progression of notes was chosen very deliberately. Legend claims it was outlawed in many countries by the church way way back because it sounds so evil, but legends are probably just legends. It’s considered an evil interval because it divides the octave in half with an augmented 4th and it sounds creepy. It’s also apparently hard to sing. It is called the devil’s interval. :)
I have a book labelled "the sound of the beast: the headbanging history of heavy metal" by Ian Christe and I am now in love with music theory and how significant it is to the music we listen to on a daily basis. 11 out of 10 pls read if you can
If you're going to point to Black Sabbath (the song) as the birth of metal, then the blame should really go to Gustav Holst, who wrote The Planets symphony which Geezer Butler based the riff on ...just to be That Guy

Heavy metal was invented the string manufacturers by using a heavier metal in their string production. Most guitarists had to tune down half step to bend the strings.
As a non-metalhead I really enjoyed this because there has evolved some serious WTFism within the various genres. But 98% percent of metalheads are cool AF and some metal are chunes are actual classiques in their own right so its all in good fun. But seriously, "Gnaw Their Tongues" and that kind of thing (y'know, where people try and take it even further...) - how did that happen?

Vincebus Eruptum and Outsideinside by Blue Cheer both came out in January 1968. That was over two years before War Pigs in September 1970. If you're referring to the beginning of heavy metal, I suggest doing a little more research. Blue Cheer never got the same radio play, but they were pioneering HM on the west coast before Black Sabbath ever made their first record.

This song was written because their bassist would play Gustav Holst's "Mars, Bringer of War" and they liked the way it sounded.
@@ohdear2166 the Planets was the temp track for it, George Lucas directly told John Williams to write "something that sounded like the planets"
Nile's ramses bringer of war is also based on that piece
I just made this same comment, basically.
Yeah and Tony tried to play it the next day and just got the notes wrong
Actually cool thing about that song is that particular tritone progression of notes was chosen very deliberately.

All my life, every time I listened to this riff I’ve had a similar skit going on in my mind. I’m glad somebody finally materialised it.
Also gotta thank Geezer Butler for trying to play “Mars” by Gustav Holst
Geezer and Ozzy be like, ‘We can’t, we already finished recording. Let’s go grab a drink, put your mind at ease.’
