Only Black Sabbath could conjure a track so poignant and potent it hits you before it's even begun. "Just take a look around you, what do you see?," wails Ozzy Osbourne on "Killing Yourself to Live." "Pain, suffering, and misery / It's not the way that the world was meant," he sings, taking aim at the music industry. In many ways, this song became a haunting parable for Ozzy Osbourne's own life of excess and annihilation. With its strategic tempo change that rediverts the path of the song and a gnarly guitar solo from Tony Iommi, "Killing Yourself to Live" is cooked to symphonic perfection. The five-and-a-half-minute track was among the many highlights of the band's 1973 masterpiece Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, the making of which was initially plagued by substance abuse issues and burnout. However, a change of scenery from L.A. to Clearwell Castle in England's Forest of Dean helped the band to turn it all around and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath was born.
