Album Notes & Community Reviews

Forged during a period of intense legal battles with their former management, Black Sabbath channeled their immense frustration into their most creatively ambitious, ferociously heavy album. 'Sabotage' marries the remarkably dark, crushingly energetic riffage of traditional heavy metal with wonderfully epic, highly introspective progressive rock structures and subtle psychedelic flourishes.
