Black Sabbath’s – Technical Ecstasy was the last studio album with Ozzy Osborne. It is not a fan favorite but does contain the track “Dirty Women” which was included in Black Sabbath live sets all the way till the end of their career.
The album received mixed reviews from critics but was a commercial success, peaking at number 13 on the UK Albums Chart and number 51 on the US Billboard 200 Album chart, later being certified Gold by the RIAA in 1997.
In 1992, Iommi admitted to Guitar World: “Black Sabbath fans generally don’t like much of Technical Ecstasy. It was really a no-win situation for us. If we had stayed the same, people would have said we were still doing the same old stuff. So we tried to get a little more technical, and it just didn’t work out very well.”
Vol. 4 is the fourth studio album by Black Sabbath, released in 1972. It was the first album by Black Sabbath, not produced by Rodger Bain; guitarist Tony Iommi assumed production duties. Patrick Meehan, the band’s then-manager, was listed as co-producer, though his actual involvement in the album’s production was minimal.

It’s time to lighten the mood on this blog while still keeping it heavy! I’m talking about heavy-metal MEMES! Here are the top 12 that we know of right now! This post is constantly updated with the MEME pictures, so check back once in a while!!
Like Funny Metal MEMES? Let’s get started at #1…
1. The Cannibal Corpse MEME
You have to have somewhat of a morbid sense of humor I truly appreciate that one, but it gave me a laugh!

2. Death Metal Dating
Heavy metal isn’t known for hot chicks. I can understand how dating some girl who claims to like death metal is: I’ve been there before. LOL
3, Marry Had A Little Lamb?
4. The Black Sabbath MEME
While far from being in an unknown band, Black Sabbath never got the level of respect that the Beatles had for Led Zeppelin as British rock royalty.
I doubt they care!
5. The Faces of Death Metal MEME
On this one, you have to understand the reference. It is a lampoon on the documentary “Faces Of Meth” which chronicles what people look like before and after methamphetamine use. As you can see, death metal is a gateway drug to court paint and just for a less harmless.
