When Ronnie James Dio was fired from Black Sabbath during the creation of the band's concert album Live Evil, it seemed unlikely that he would ever return to the legendary band. But when it comes to Sabbath the operative slogan is their own: Never Say Die.
While Dio was on tour supporting 1990's Lock Up the Wolves, Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler joined Dio onstage in Minneapolis for a version of the Sabbath song "Neon Nights." After the show, the two decided to get together with guitarist Tony Iommi and record another album; Dehumanizer came out on June 22, 1992.
The disc served as Sabbath's first studio album with Dio since 1981's The Mob Rules, and featured a blend of upbeat metal tunes like "TV Crimes" and "Time Machine," mid-paced chuggers such as "Computer God" and "Master of Insanity" and trudging doom-laden tunes including "After All (The Dead)" and "Letters From Earth."
