N.I.B.

 

N.I.B.

N.I.B. is a hit song released by British hard rock band Black Sabbath. It first appears on their 1970 self titled debut as the fourth track.

Its lyrics are about the devil falling in love which started up people thinking Black Sabbath as being satanic despite the lack of devil mentioning in any other songs except for Black Sabbath the song. N.I.B. doesn't stand for Nativity In Black, it doesn't even stand for anything. Drummer Bill Ward had a beard that singer Ozzy Osbourne said looked like a pen nib. The band named the song after the nib and added initials so the name would be more mysterious.
