Black Sabbath was formed in 1968 under the name Polka Tulk which was later changed to Earth and then finally Black Sabbath in August 1969. "War Pigs" was originally titled Walpurgis and was focused on the witches' sabbath. When the band started recording their album "Paranoid" the song title changed as did the lyrics and focus of the song. The original title of the album was also War Pigs but was changed because the record company thought it receive negative responses from Vietnam supporters. "War Pigs" is a song protesting the Vietnam war and the use of unneeded power.
