Sabotage is the sixth studio album by the British heavy metal band Black Sabbath . It was released in 1975.

Emergence

Sabotage was recorded at Morgan Studios in London in February 1975 . Because the recordings took a long time and the band worked with the London Philharmonic Orchestra , Sabotage became the band's most expensive album. The conflict between Ozzy Osbourne and Tony Iommi intensified when Osbourne accused the guitarist of "obsession" with finding just the right sound.

Sabotage has been called "Black Sabbath's best album since Paranoid " by Rolling Stone , "maybe their best overall". The Metal Observer website is also convinced that “SABBATH will never make a better album”. The song Symptom of the Universe , according to reviewer Guy Peters, influenced several generations of Thrash Metal bands who were inspired to create their own, slower or faster, versions of the song.

Contrary to the assumption that the title Am I Going Insane (radio) was a radio edition, there was only one version of the song.

Allmusic's Greg Prato sees Sabotage as an "interesting and challenging release" but regrets the "loss" of the "magical chemistry" of previous albums.

Krist Novoselic , the former bassist of Nirvana , cites sabotage as a major influence and says that without this album, Nirvana probably would not have existed.

60,000 copies of the album were sold in Great Britain, it achieved silver status in England on December 1, 1975, and gold status in the USA on June 16, 1997.
