There is no mainstream band that has ever struck the balance between imbuing real fear into its audience and entertaining them at the same time like the British-born heavy metal group Black Sabbath. Fronted by Ozzy Osbourne, who is known for biting the heads off animals on stage, the collection of musicians were dark-arts artists as much as they were chart-toppers.

During an appearance on a recent episode of the "Riffhard" podcast, TESTAMENT guitarist Alex Skolnick reflected on the band's early musical output and how it has stood the test of time in the three and a half decades since it was originally recorded. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "METALLICA found a way to make their music very popular, but they really kind of broke loose from the scene that they came up in. And it's brilliant what they did, but they're really the only ones that could achieve any mainstream popularity. They ended up being one of the biggest bands in the world. But the rest of the bands, the bands that were influenced by METALLICA — folks talk about the 'Big Six' or whatever: TESTAMENT, EXODUS, OVERKILL, DEATH ANGEL, maybe you could add FORBIDDEN, and then argue about who else would be there — but all of those bands, it was so left field and it wasn't a sign of the time. It got no mainstream attention other than an hour on MTV on Saturday nights where they'd play some of the videos. Yeah, somehow in the 2000s, it's almost like the times caught up with it. And then once you had the bands that were playing on Ozzfest, for example, guys that were a few years younger than me, not so much, but, yeah, LAMB OF GOD, SLIPKNOT and so forth, and they managed to reach pretty big audiences — still do. So it's weird. So then, just next to groups like that, if we play the songs that we had from back in the day — I don't know — it doesn't sound dated for some reason. Whereas you could play any number of songs from the time period, the late '80s that were very popular, that were on regular rotation on MTV and played on the radio and a little bit more commercialized and catchy and more image-based, and it feels much more dated. It's very strange."

Dorothy Dandridge was one of Hollywood’s first Black sex symbols and the first black actress to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress. Around 1930, Dandridge relocated to Los Angeles, California, with her family. A few years later she found success with her new musical group, the Dandridge Sisters, which included sister Vivian and their friend Etta Jones. The group landed gigs at the famous Cotton Club in Harlem and performed with top acts such as the Jimmie Lunceford Orchestra and Cab Calloway. As an African American singer, Dandridge confronted early on the segregation and racism of the entertainment industry. She may have been allowed on stage, but in some venues, she couldn't eat in the restaurant or use certain facilities because of the color of her skin."
