Who is on the cover of Black Sabbath album ‘Paranoid’?

Who is on the cover of Black Sabbath album ‘Paranoid’?
June 11, 2025

The enigmatic figure gracing the cover of Black Sabbath's iconic album 'Paranoid' is none other than the timeless and intriguing Ozzy Osbourne. With his piercing gaze and unkempt locks, Osbourne embodies the darkness and intensity that permeate the record's heavy metal sound.

Released in 1970, 'Paranoid' remains a cornerstone of the genre, showcasing Black Sabbath's unmatched talent for crafting relentless riffs and haunting melodies. Osbourne's presence on the album cover serves as a reminder of his enduring impact on rock music, both as a frontman for one of the most influential bands of all time and as a solo artist in his own right.

As we look back on the legendary year of 1970, it's impossible to ignore the seismic shift that 'Paranoid' brought to the music world. With its raw, unapologetic energy and dark lyrical themes, the album set a new standard for heavy metal that continues to resonate with fans to this day. And at the center of it all stands Ozzy Osbourne, a true rock god whose image on the 'Paranoid' cover has become synonymous with the genre itself. Cheers to you, Ozzy, for helping to shape the sound of rock 'n' roll forever.
