"Symptom of the Universe" is a song by English heavy metal band Black Sabbath from their 1975 album Sabotage.
"Symptom of the Universe" was composed largely by guitarist Tony Iommi, with lyrics by Geezer Butler.
Its closing passage, very unlike the rest of the song, evolved from an in-studio jam, created spontaneously in a single day.
[3] It is also the opening track on Ozzy Osbourne's 1982 live album, Speak of the Devil.
"Symptom of the Universe" was ranked the 19th-best Black Sabbath song by Rock - Das Gesamtwerk der größten Rock-Acts im Check.
