I raro i te pēhanga mai i to ratou tapanga tuhi, ka tukuna e te roopu a raatau pukaemi tekau ma whitu, Cross Purposes, i te 8 o Hui-tanguru 1994, i raro i te ingoa Black Sabbath. I whiwhi nga arotake rereke, me te Blender e tuku ana i te pukaemi e rua nga whetu, e kii ana i te pukaemi a Soundgarden i te tau 1994 a Superunknown "he pukaemi Sabbath pai ake i tenei papa-a-tau".Ko Bradley Torreano o AllMusic i kiia ko Cross Purposes "te pukaemi tuatahi mai i Born Again e rite ana ki te rekoata Sabbath pono". I ngaro te pukaemi i te Top 40 i te UK tae atu ki te nama 41, a ka eke ki te 122 i runga i te Billboard 200 i te U.S. I roto i te Cross Purposes te waiata "Evil Eye", i tuhia e Van Halen na Eddie Van Halen, ahakoa kaore i whakawhiwhia na te aukati o te tapanga. I tiimata te haerenga ki Amerika ki te tautoko i a Black Cross Purposes i te Hui-tanguru 1994, i noho tahi me Angel Morbidör i te United States
