Dehumanizer is an album by British heavy metal band Black Sabbath released in 1992.
Musically, it is probably Sabbath's heaviest album ever. Song themes vary from a computer worshipped as a god, through televangelists, to individualism.
Although the band lineup is the same as 1982's Mob Rules, the musical direction is very different - not only because of the aforementioned heaviness, but the songs are also darker, more pessimistic and more intense, probably, than in every earlier Sabbath album.
Ronnie James Dio himself would follow this musical / lyrical direction in his next two solo albums, Strange Highways and Angry Machines.
