Black Sabbath in Nürnberg – Vinylrausch 3 im Casablanca Kino

In the organizer's words:

"In the darkness world stops turning"

After the enthusiastic feedback on the second VINYLRAUSCH last fall, we are of course continuing with this unusual format at Casablanca.

On Sunday, March 23 at 6 p.m., we will be celebrating an album that was released 55 years ago and has (unfortunately) lost none of its significance to this day: Paranoid (1970) by Black Sabbath still seems to be highly topical, the songs tell of the suffering of war, of seducers and warmongers. The music is surprising and versatile and is summed up in the tour book of the Black Sabbath Tour 1971:

"What kind of music from Black Sabbath can you expect on this night? It has its roots in rock, but goes far beyond that: there are jazzy elements, maybe even a classical influence or two. It's innovative music, fresh, carefully constructed and flawlessly performed."

The birth of hard rock and heavy metal was preceded by psychedelic blues-rock experiments. A weighty precursor is Iron Butterfly, who we will hear with the 17-minute In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida (1969).

Paranoid has had a huge influence on music history. An unusual current artist is Jonathan Huelten, who, as the singer of a death metal band, has recorded a quiet, intense and quite splendid singer-songwriter solo album with Chants From Another Place (2020).

The special hi-fi system for this evening will once again be selected by Tobias from mono-Ton and presented in the movie theater!

At Vinylrausch we listen to vinyl albums as works of art: from an excellent system, loud and concentrated in the dark movie theater room, with introductions and song lyrics and band photos on the screen at the same time.
