Today's cover of the tune "Solitude" is made by the Norweigan musical group ULVER. Since their first, folklore-influenced black metal release entitled "Bergtatt -- Et eeventyr i 5 capitler" (1994), ULVERs musical style has been fluid and increasingly eclectic, blending genres such as rock, electronica, symphonic and chamber traditions, noise and experimental music into their oeuvre, but with a heavy reliance on electronic recording techniques.
"Solitude" is taken from the seventh dark and tragic studio album "Shadows Of The Sun" that was released in October 2007 via Jester Records and The End Records. "Solitude" is a BLACK SABBATH cover; the original version appears on their 1971 album "Master of Reality".
"Master of Reality" is the third studio album by English rock band BLACK SABBATH, released on 21 July 1971. It is widely regarded as the foundation of doom metal, stoner rock, and sludge metal. It was certified double platinum after having sold over 2 million copies. "Master of Reality" was BLACK SABBATHs first and only top 10 album in the US until "13", forty-two years later.
The tune "Solitude" from the album "Master of Reality" featuring a delay effect, it was added to Ozzy Osbourne’s vocals on this song to provide the effect of a second vocal track. This song features the multi-instrumentalist talents of Sabbath guitarist Tommy Iommi (who also plays flute & piano on the recording). This song is about being depressed after breaking up with somebody.
Tony Iommi comments that this "might be the first love song we ever recorded." Having been inspired by his very brief gig with JETHRO TULL.
Enjoy today's tune.
