Black Sabbath Vol. 4 is the fourth studio album by the British heavy metal band Black Sabbath .

History of origin

The actual album name would have the title of the track Snowblind should be, because this offensive but drug use ( Snow is in English slang for cocaine ) responds, the record company would refuse such a naming. Another reference to the use of cocaine can be found inside the LP. The thank you list there says “the great COKE-Cola Company” instead of “ The Coca-Cola Company ”. Geezer Butler usually performed at Volume 4 with an “Enjoy CoCaine” sticker on his bass.
