Another excellent, if overlooked, album from heavy metal pioneers. Although, according to quotes from Geezer Butler, initially planned as an Iommi / Butler project album, akin to Iommi’s
"Seventh Star", record company pressure saw its release under the BLACK SABBATH banner. The album boasted a heavyweight guest in the form of VAN HALEN mainman Eddie Van Halen, an (oddly) uncredited co-writer of the track 'Evil Eye'. There is also speculation as to whether the famed guitarist actually performs on the track itself. A further oddity would be that the album sleeve artwork, an angel with wings on fire, had already been used by the SCORPIONS for their 1991 single 'Send Me An Angel'.
"Cross Purposes" once again featured vocalist Tony Martin and new drummer Bobby Rondinelli, a veteran of
RAINBOW.
