The 1990 album 'Tyr' saw Black Sabbath delve into a more melodic and experimental sound, incorporating elements of hard rock and even some folk influences, a departure from their earlier raw, unadulterated heavy metal.
- 'Tyr' was recorded at Montserrat Studios in Spain, with the same production team that worked on their previous album 'Headless Cross'.
- The album's title, 'Tyr', is derived from the Norse mythology, a theme explored in some of the lyrics and artwork.
- Despite its experimental nature, 'Tyr' did not chart on the Billboard 200 in the United States.
Black Sabbath is a pioneering heavy metal band from Birmingham, England, formed in 1968. The band has experienced numerous lineup changes throughout its history, with guitarist Tony Iommi as the sole constant member. In 1990, Black Sabbath, featuring original members Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward, reunited for the 'Dehumanizer' tour, though Ward was replaced by Cozy Powell for the recording of 'Tyr'. This period marked a brief return to a more classic Sabbath sound after earlier experiments.
