There’s something undeniably cool about a band that names itself, its debut, and a song all the same thing. Call it bold branding or musical symmetry, but this move – the “Black Sabbath Trifecta” – has become a rock ritual of legend. It started with Black Sabbath, who kicked off their debut album with “Black Sabbath,” and since then, a handful of artists have followed that perfect pattern.
Here are 20 bands and artists that proudly carry the trifecta torch:
Angel Witch
Bad Company
Bad Religion Black Sabbath
Body Count
Bo Diddley
Electric Wizard
God’s Hate
Iron Maiden
Living in a Box
Metal Church
Motörhead
Pennywise
Run the Jewels
Slowdive
The 1975
The Good, the Bad & the Queen
