Ya Man ! When compared to the crushing stuff of today, it's hard to believe this stuff was considered heavy back in the day ! But it was. If you listened to these bands back in the '78-'83 era, you were "hardcore".
This song was the beginning of a genre guys. Thee first traditional speed/thrash metal song ever recorded (1982). Of course Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Exodus took the lead and ran with it, but Venom were the founding fathers, which means something.
Don't even get me started on Sabbath, K1 ! How a band can be 10 years ahead of it's time is beyond me. One of a kind. We'll never see anything so new and unique as Sabbath was in the early 70's.
How someone can make E to D sound so mind boggingly powerful and as good as Iommi does for the first 1:10 of this song is historic !

Crappy vid footage, but good sound of a rare live performance of Tomorrow's Dream off of Vol 4. Ozzy's voice was in it's prime right here, as good as it gets for a metal singer. Iommi had his foot on the fuzz pedal for this one, eh?

Met Dee when they were playing the bar scene back in the 70's At the time, I had no clue who he was .. I was talking with the owner of the club and my buddy who was bouncer there at the time.. And Dee (all dressed in drag and sweaty- looked like a used whore from the Block) came up to us and asked what we thought of the set..
Thought they're music was cool ever since
