CD Black Sabbath – Dehumanizer

Originally released in 1992, Dehumanizer marks the monumental return of the iconic 1980s lineup features Ronnie James Dio, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Vinny Appice. Frequently cited as one of the heaviest albums in the Black Sabbath discography, this release eschewed the band's traditional fantasy themes for a gritty, modern seriousness focused on technology, televangelism, and individualism.

Produced by Reinhold Mack (famed for his work with Queen), the album delivers a crushing sonic experience. Tony Iommi utilized his vintage Gibson SG from the Paranoid era to achieve what critics describe as an "incredibly heavy" and distorted sound, supported by Appice’s relentless drumming and Butler’s signature sludge-filled bass lines.

• "TV Crimes": A fast-paced exploration of media and televangelism.
• "Computer God": A heavy, industrial-tinged opener regarding digital worship.
• "I": A powerful anthem of self-reliance and a standout fan favorite.
• "After All (The Dead)": A slow, doom-laden track that burrows into the listener's memory.
• "Time Machine": Features the legendary version as heard in the film Wayne’s World.

This reissue captures a pivotal moment in metal history, bridging the gap between classic heavy metal and the burgeoning grit of the 90s scene. It is an essential acquisition for fans of the Dio-era and anyone seeking the absolute heaviest side of Black Sabbath.
