Into the Void


"Into the Void" is a heavy metal track by Black Sabbath, released in 1971 on the album Master of Reality. The song is a landmark for electric guitar players, showcasing Tony Iommi's signature down-tuned, sludgy riff work that helped define the sound of heavy metal. Its slow, crushing tempo and powerful chord progressions make it a rewarding study in tone, rhythm, and early metal guitar technique.

  • Tony Iommi tuned his guitar down to C# on Master of Reality, giving 'Into the Void' its distinctively heavy, low-end sound.
  • An early version of the song called 'Spanish Sid' was later released on the deluxe edition of Master of Reality.
  • The track runs just over six minutes, giving guitarists extended exposure to Iommi's shifting riff structures within a single song.
