The Big Black Lyrics

Cover art for The Big Black lyrics by Orange Goblin

In my opinion "The Big Black" "the soul of the old (doom) stoner race" is for sure the band called BLACK SABBATH. This band is one of the very first Metal bands and the very origin of "Doom Metal".

"The Big Black's the force that the wizards once sought" is an allusion to a song by Black Sabbath, called "The Wizard"

So I am certain that this song is an homage to "The Big Black Sabbath".
