Master of Reality is the third album by British Heavy Metal pioneers Black Sabbath, released by Vertigo Records in England and Warner (Bros.) Records in America on 21 July 1971. It was the first album in which guitarist Tony Iommi had downtuned his guitar one and a half steps to reduce string tension and reduce the pain on his middle and ring fingers on his right handnote while working in a factory as a teenager, he lost the tips of said fingers in an accident. Said downtuning had led to a heavier sound that was put into good use for songs such as "Children of the Grave" and "Sweet Leaf", forming foundations for Doom Metal and stoner rock respectively.The album was a commercial success on release, having gone double platinum in the United States. Bands such as Nirvana, Soundgarden and Smashing Pumpkins were influenced by this album's sound.No relation to the Reality Warper trope.TracklistSide one "Sweet Leaf" (5:05) "After Forever" (5:27) "Embryo" (0:28) "Children of the Grave" (5:18)note the original US LP press separates this into "Children of the Grave" (4:30) and "The Haunting" (0:45)Side two "Orchid" (1:31) "Lord of This World" (5:27)note the original US LP press separates this into "Step Up" (0:30) and "Lord of This World" (4:55) "Solitude" (5:02) "Into the Void" (6:13)note the original US LP press separates this into "Deathmask" (3:08) and "Into the Void" (3:08)Principal members: Geezer Butler - bass Tony Iommi - guitars, synthesizer, flute, piano Ozzy Osbourne - lead vocals Bill Ward - drums, percussion | |

New Sound Album | |
| Master of Reality (Music) / int_22093e9b | comment |
New Sound Album: Tony Iommi's guitar being downtuned out of necessity has led to a heavier sound that sets it apart from the first two albums. | |

Longest Song Goes Last | |
| Master of Reality (Music) / int_2bf54826 | comment |
Longest Song Goes Last: "Into the Void", which was just above six minutes. Curiously, the song being split in half in the original US LP press is an exception. | |

Miniscule Rocking | |
| Master of Reality (Music) / int_2e70a1db | comment |
Miniscule Rocking: "Embryo" lasts just under a half minute, and "Orchid" only goes for a minute and a half. The original US LP press also split a couple of instrumental parts (both of which less than a minute) from "Children of the Grave" and "Lord of This World". | |

God-Is-Love Songs | |
| Master of Reality (Music) / int_4e635eab | comment |
God-Is-Love Songs: "After Forever" stated that "God is the only way to love". The song was made as a reaction to accusations that the band is Satanist, when the members were actually Christian and using themes of the occult as an act. | |

Satan | |
| Master of Reality (Music) / int_c3bafbce | comment |
Satan: "Lord of This World" is sung from the perspective of The Devil, warning the listener not to choose material things instead of love. Also mentioned in "Into the Void" as having dominion over Earth After the End | |
