Cross Purposes
Black Sabbath
The record leans into a darker, melodic approach that provides a focused output despite internal band turbulence. Tracks like Cross of Thorns showcase the group moving through the changing metal climate of the mid-nineties.
As a snapshot of a long-running band, this project maintains a heavy, doom-laden edge. It captures an era where hard rock began to adopt a grittier, more modern production sensibility.
