Volume 4, Black Sabbath's fourth studio album, released in 1972 marked the beginning of a transitional period for the b&. Black Sabbath were pretty much unique with their sound in the early 1970's; the godfathers of heavy metal were louder than most & had a distinctive sound which no other band really came near to having a similarity to. However, after producing three albums (' Black Sabbath', ' Paranoid' & ' Master of Reality') with their classic, straight out heavy & powerful style, Black ...

By the time Black Sabbath began work on what was to be their fourth album in 72, the conveniently titled Volume 4, they were very much in the ascendant. Their fan base was growing with each succeeding tour & album, & their style was firmly established. However, to the band members, the treadmill of the rock cycle album/tour/album/tour in perpetuity
- offered no challenge any more. They wanted to stretch themselves, to push the parameters of what theyd already created. So, for the new album,

From the group many credit with creating metal, guitarist Tony Iommi resurrected an earlier lineup of Black Sabbath for Dehumanizer. As is their wont, the Sabs show concern for humanity's future. Lead track " Computer God" tackles mankind's capitulation at the altar of technology. " After All" evokes the morbid/mystical themes & sonic plod of earliest Sabbath. Dehumanizer breaks little new ground. But with hundreds of other groups expropriating the sound these days, it's comforting to find that, ...

This collection brings together some of the meatiest chunks from the wide-ranging career of Brummie heavy metal legends Black Sabbath. The inimitable combination of Ozzy Osbourne's wiry, demented vocal deliveries & Tony Iommi's slab-like riffing (the result, partly, of his loss of a finger in an engineering accident) combined to chart-topping effect on the band's iconic single ' Paranoid', but they became notable for a much more epic style. Monumental songs like ' War Pigs' & the colossal ' Iro ...

After kicking vocalist Ozzy Osbourne out of the band in 1978, Black Sabbath knew they would have to strike back with a powerful record if they were to retain their credibility. They recruited Elf vocalist Ronnie James Dio, whose melodramatic vibrato shuddered with menace, & in 1980, they released Heaven & Hell, their most potent offering since Master of Reality. Faster & more theatrical than Sabbath's earlier oeuvre, Heaven & Hell features the dynamic seven-minute title track, which buil ...

Many had left Black Sabbath for dead at the dawn of the '80s, & with good reason -- the band's last few albums were not even close to their early classics, & original singer Ozzy Osbourne had just split from the b&. But the Sabs had found a worthy replacement in former Elf & Rainbow singer Ronnie James Dio, & bounced back to issue their finest album since the early '70s, 1980's Heaven & Hell. The band sounds reborn & re-energized throughout. Several tracks easily rank among Sabbath ...

This is a GREAT live album. Both discs are absolutely solid. Of the total 12 songs on the album, 6 are from the later 2 Sabbath albums: Heaven & Hell, & Mob Rules. The other 6 are from the first 3: Black Sabbath, Paranoid, & Master of Reality. The beauty of this recording is that the new band (with singer Dio & drummer Appice) can not only rock their newest songs, but they can also kick out the old classics harder than ever. Since it has been more than 10 years since these classic albums ...
