Tyr (/ˈtɪər/)[5] (stylized as ᛏᛉᚱ) is the fifteenth studio album by English rock band Black Sabbath, released on 20 August 1990 by I.R.S.
This album represents possibly the most dramatic departure from Black Sabbath’s traditional sound, with only traces of it found in the occasional riff.
The production has been criticised by some (who claim Cozy Powell’s drums drown out most of the other instruments) and praised by others, who note that this is one of Sabbath’s heaviest albums and perhaps the most prominently reliant on keyboards by the perennial fifth member, Geoff Nicholls.
[10] The band have stated that while they do not disown or regret the song “Feels Good to Me”, it was put on the album solely to be released as a single and does not fit in musically with the rest of the record.
[13] In Norse mythology, Týr is the god of single combat and heroic glory, and the son of Odin.
