### 🎸 Why ‘War Pigs’ Still Matters

 

First released on Sabbath’s groundbreaking 1970 album *Paranoid*, “War Pigs” was a scathing anti-war anthem, built around **Tony Iommi’s menacing guitar riffs**, **Geezer Butler’s politically charged lyrics**, **Bill Ward’s thunderous drums**, and **Ozzy’s haunting vocals**.

 

Decades later, the song continues to resonate — not just musically, but emotionally and politically.

 

> “It’s the sound of protest. Of darkness. Of truth,” said Slipknot’s Corey Taylor in a recent interview. “And no matter where you are in the world, when those first notes hit, everybody knows — it’s Sabbath. It’s Ozzy. It’s sacred.”
