Product Description

CD Description
A more focused group effort than the previous ETERNAL IDOL,TYR features lyrics written by vocalist Tony Martin, with music by the whole band. Tony Iommi is still the ringmaster of the Sabbath circus, though, as his riffs power this heavy metal concept album. The title character is identified as the "son of Odin and the supreme sky-god of the northern peoples; the god of war and martial valour".
Sabbath stalwartGeoff Nicholls' keyboards create an eerie atmosphere on TYR. Hard rock veterans Cozy Powell (drums) and Neil Murray (bass) provide a more than ample rhythm section. Tony Martin's vocal range is reminiscent of Ronnie James Dio, while Tony Iommi's constantly evolving guitar playing is as tight as ever. He is THE heavy metal axe-grinder for the ages, influencing the genre's top names. TYR's heavy yet melodic sound is impressive, and plays a notable role in the history of a monumental group.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heaven Really is In Black, 21 Jan 2004
By Peestie (Northern Ireland) - See all my reviews
This album deserves equally as much praise as Heaven and Hell or any of the other post-Ozzy albums and at least half of the albums with Ozzy. It is a fantastic album to enter the 90's which were generally missing any good Heavy Metal albums because of grunge.
The album has a Norse theme most of the way through and unlike it predecessor, Headless Cross, it hardly ever mentions Satan. Tony Iommi has some excellent riffs on this album, such as on "Anno Mundi", "Jerusalem" and "The Sabbath Stones". The riff from last of those three has got to be one of Iommi's heaviest, most brutal riffs ever, with Cozy Powell on drums adding something extra that only he can.
Tony Martin's vocals are once again excellent. Apart from Ozzy he recorded more albums with Sabbath than any other singer and deservses credit for his work. Personally I think he should be considered the voice of Black Sabbath as much as Ozzy, but due to the bands dip in popularity most people wouldn't even know that he sang for them.
There is no way that I can choose a list of tracks to say "These are the best" because they are all equally as good. Even the short instumental "The Battle of TYR" has its charms.
I honestly believe that TYR is one of the best Black Sabbath albums you could buy (dangerous words indeed) and is a must have for any Sabbath fan. It has everything you could hope for on a Sabbath album. Dark, heavy guitars, thumping drums, excellent bass and magnificent vocals and a gothic theme the whole way through.

5.0 out of 5 stars AMAZING!!!!!, 19 Sep 2005
By D. L. Potts - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This album is simply amazing!!! In 2005, when the majority of Heavy Metal "Singers" try to sound like very angry monsters, it's a breath of fresh air to hear the passionate, powerful & soaring vocals of Tony Martin! Black Sabbath excell themselves here with an album of shear unadulteraded majestic POWER! Just listen to the way the track "Odin's Court" leads into "Valhalla!" If that doesn't send goose bumps all over your body & remind you of a time when men were strong & fearless...You must be emotionally dead!
This has to be my fave' album of all time! Fantastic!!!
Dan the Viking.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sabbath fan NE England, 22 Oct 2001
The Sabbath crew really went out to create some of the heaviest tunes in metal with this album, while keeping it melodic with some sweet guitar playing in between.

Tony Martin is on top form and while the some songs are not as commercial than Headless Cross, they are certainly some of the most powerful Sabbath track from the riff masters.

Good Sabbath album this with Tony Martin on the vocals. By no means a classic but worth buying all the same with a Norse theme throughout, if you hadn't noticed by the title... Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Mediocre :-(
This album is a low point for Sabbath. It's full of cheesy 80's rock, this is made worse by the fact that it was recorded in 1990. Read more
