Studio Lore: Paranoid was written quickly as a filler track when the label wanted more material, then became the song that defined the band publicly.

Scene Ecology: Sabbath came from industrial Birmingham, where factory life, bomb-damaged streets, and working-class pressure gave early metal its real-world weight.
