Cross Purposes is the seventeenth studio album by British heavy metal band Black Sabbath, released in January 1994.
Dehumanizer saw the reunion of Mob Rules-era Black Sabbath, but, after the tour, Ronnie James Dio (vocals) and Vinny Appice (drums) departed. They were replaced by former Sabbath vocalist Tony Martin and former Rainbow/Blue Öyster Cult drummer Bobby Rondinelli.

The song "Cardinal Sin" was originally intended to be titled "Sin Cardinal Sin" (or "Sin, Cardinal Sin") but a printing error on the album sleeve caused the first word to be removed. Sabbath simply adopted the title "Cardinal Sin" as the name of the song.

A promo video was shot for "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle", in black-and-white.

"What's the Use?" was released only on the Japanese edition of Cross Purposes, which also contained a free sticker of the artwork. Interestingly, a nearly identical version of the "burning angel" image was featured on a Scorpions single three years earlier.

The album peaked at number 122 on the Billboard 200 charts.
