Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is the fifth studio album by Black Sabbath, released in December 1973. It was produced by the band and recorded at Morgan Studios in London in September 1973. Building on the stylistic changes introduced on Vol. 4, new songs incorporated synthesizers, strings, keyboards and more complex arrangements. Tony Iommi experimented with sitar and bagpipes in the studio. Ozzy Osbourne purchased a Moog synthesizer and, though according to Tony Iommi he "didn't know how to use it", he was still able to compose the song "Who Are You?" with it. In his memoir Ozzy states, "I'd written it one night at Bulrush Cottage while I was loaded and fiddling around with a Revox tape machine and my ARP 2600." The singer also writes that Sabbath Bloody Sabbath was "Our last truly great album, I think... And with the music we'd managed to strike just the right balance between our old heaviness and our new, 'experimental' side." "Killing Yourself to Live" was a Butler composition written while he was in hospital for kidney problems caused by heavy drinking. Ward was also drinking heavily, and the song reflects the problems caused by their "extreme" lifestyles. The instrumental piece "Fluff" was composed by Tony Iommi and named after BBC radio disc jockey Alan "Fluff" Freeman, who was one of the few radio personalities in Britain to play Black Sabbath's music on-air.
