The evil, foreboding sound comes from that dissonant third note. Taking the 5th note of the major scale and flattening it by a half-step turns it into what’s known as “the devil’s interval.”
That’s about the extent of my knowledge of music theory.
The album is so-so. What did it for me was their attitude toward their hardcore fans who didn’t like it. Instead of “this is the direction we’re going in and we’re sorry if you aren’t coming with us,” it was “fuck it, we’ve got tons of new fans now, so we don’t need you guys anymore.” I literally heard Jason say, “Yeah, we sold out………every seat in the house.”
Black Sabbath – Black Sabbath…from the album “Black Sabbath”

It’s called a tritone and it shows up in a lot of interesting music, including The Simpson’s theme song, Enter Sandman and King Crimson’s Red.
I have a friend who is a jazz musician and he wrote a piece that is based entirely on the tritone. Pretty wild.
