Black Sabbath: 10 Most Underrated Songs

10. Valhalla - Tyr

Sabbath's music has always lent itself to sweeping narratives throughout their tenure. While not everything was necessarily the most thoughtful composition in history, there were still plenty of songs that had potential to be huge if given the right amount of polish. Even though Tyr marked the first time Sabbath had attempted a concept-themed release, Valhalla is one of the only songs that actually capitalizes on that promise.

Given the subject matter and medieval sounding title, this is one of the few songs that seems poised to be played in vast halls throughout the land. Forget the typical stadiums of the world...it seemed like Sabbath had graduated into the realm of high courts back in the Middle Ages with a tune like this, where we see Odin and his army fighting off the demons of Hell to free the souls of the departed.

Since this was an album that was coming amid the beginnings of the grunge explosion, Sabbath didn't really need to go this hard, and yet they came out with one of the better sonic experiments they have ever made in their career. While this might not be the Sabbath that you know and love, don't let that turn you away from the sweeping epic about to unfold. Unpack your broadsword and get ready for the plunge.
