Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is the fifth studio album by the British heavy metal band Black Sabbath, released in 1973 (see 1973 in music). It was originally to be titled "Snowblind", the name of a track on the album which was a reference for cocaine use. The record company feared a backlash, particularly in America, so the title was altered. The song "Snowblind" had to be re-recorded because in the original Ozzy yelled the word "cocaine" after each verse.

Snowblind has been covered by System of a Down.
