Black Sabbath made Sabotage under pressure, turning legal conflict, exhaustion, and mid-70s studio ambition into one of the band's most intense records. Originally released in 1975, the album pushes beyond the direct heaviness of earlier Sabbath with longer arrangements, acoustic breaks, layered production, and Ozzy Osbourne's most extreme vocal moments. This 180g black vinyl LP is housed in a gatefold jacket for the remastered edition.

"Hole in the Sky" opens with a hard, immediate riff before "Don't Start (Too Late)" shifts into a short acoustic instrumental. "Symptom of the Universe" remains one of the band's defining heavy tracks, moving from a crushing main riff into a lighter closing section. "Megalomania" stretches the first side into darker progressive territory, while "The Thrill of It All," "Supertzar," "Am I Going Insane (Radio)," and "The Writ" carry the album's second side through theatrical, experimental, and furious turns.

The album's tension comes from the way Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, Bill Ward, and Ozzy Osbourne push Sabbath's core sound into stranger shapes without losing the band's weight. "Symptom of the Universe" points toward later heavy metal and thrash influence, while "The Writ" closes the record with one of the group's most bitter and personal statements. The result is a key mid-70s Black Sabbath album for fans of heavy metal, hard rock, and darker progressive rock.

"Symptom of the Universe" and "Hole in the Sky" give Sabotage its heaviest entry points, while "Megalomania" and "The Writ" show how far the band pushed the album's longer, darker ideas. This gatefold 180g LP keeps the focus on Sabbath's volatile 1975 studio peak.
