They left us impressive legacy,they inspired so many bands and i'm sure that Sabbath is one of the most covered bands in history.List of bands who cover them is also impressive,and in this post i'll remind you on some of this covers.

First he did it with Sepultura,amazing cover of Symptom Of The Universe :
With Soulfly he covered Under The Sun :
And with Cavalera Conspiracy Electric Funeral :
Metallica always like to point that Sabbath is one of the reasons that they gone into music. When Metallica released Master Of Puppets in 1986 Ozzy took them as a opening act on his tour,and gives them chance to play in front of a bigger audience.
