Their influential style set the foundation for many bands that followed. Albums like *Black Sabbath* and *Paranoid* contain iconic tracks such as "Iron Man" and "War Pigs," which helped define the genre. Black Sabbath's innovative approach and heavy sound have left a lasting impact on rock and metal music worldwide.
