Dehumanizer
Black Sabbath
Sludge-heavy riffs dominate this release, anchoring a transition into the grittier metal styles prevalent in the early nineties. The lyrical content discards traditional tropes to address how modern systems and industrial decay affect human life.
This chapter shows the musicians adopting a heavier, more mechanical weight. It marks a clear departure from their past output by embracing a darker, more modern aesthetic that favors a harsh outlook on the encroachment of tech and social decline.
