Exploring the Rules of Hell - Buried Alive

"Buried Alive" brings me to the end of Dehumanizer, and it is a good final track from a very solid album. Combining classic Black Sabbath with more modern sounds the song covers a lot of ground.

Parts sound like they could be found on several albums from the era from bands influenced by Sabbath. Alice in Chains and White Zombie came to mind while listening.

Butler's bass is really busy and with it's deep tone it is easy to miss. Iommi delivers several excellent guitar breaks. Iommi was really inspired on this album and turned in some memorable guitar parts.

Tomorrow the last Dio Black Sabbath song for 15 years, "Time Machine (Waynes World Version)"!
