Then the name of the group was reduced to Polka Tulk, and then (despite the protests of Osborne) renamed it to Earth; this time Phillips and Clark composition was not. By the time when a group called Earth, and includes several demos: the band recorded several songs Norman Haynes (Norman Haines), in particular, «The Rebel», «Song for Jim», and «When I Came Down»
In December 1968, Iommi abruptly left Earth to join Jethro Tull; guitarist participated in this composition was short-lived, but he managed to come out with Jethro Tull in the TV show The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus. In January 1969, disillusioned with the direction of development chosen by Jethro Tull, he returned to Earth. "There was a feeling that all is not so ... At first I thought, Tull - a great team, but I somehow do not like the idea that the group has to be a clear leader, what, in fact, was Ian Anderson. From Tull, I came back with a completely changed attitude. They taught me that if you want to move, to be on this good work "- later recalled Iommi.
At first, the band played blues-rock, but soon became a "dark" music and occult themes. This idea first occurred to Iommi: once, looking out the window at all the tickets to the cinema, where walked film Mario Bava "Black Saturday" (in the Anglo-American box office, he went under the name «Black Sabbath») with Boris Karloff in the title role, he said: "If people like scary movies, maybe they like scary music?»

("... I woke up in the night: at the far end of the bed stood a figure in black. A few seconds later, she seemed to have disappeared, forcing me to relive the moment of unforgettable horror ..." - hence the first line of the song: «What is this that stands before me? Figure in black which points at me ... »).
The composition, created with use of the notorious newt (in the key of G; this idea, as claimed by Iommi and Butler came to him at the same time), once asked a group of development of a new direction]. Impressed by his own new sound, in August 1969 the band decided to rename the group Black Sabbath and later focus on creating exactly the kind of songs that could serve as a sort of rock equivalent of horror films.
