Bio:
In 2007, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, Ronnie James Dio, and Vinny Appice, who made up the line ups for Black Sabbath's "Mob Rules" and "Dehumanizer" albums, reunited to tour in support of the Black Sabbath "Dio Years" compilation. With the original Black Sabbath line up having reunited several times and technically still in place, Tony Iommi (owner of the Black Sabbath name), decided that this line up would tour under the moniker "Heaven & Hell", the name of the first Black Sabbath album to feature Ronnie James Dio on vocals (although, ironically, Vinny Appice did not appear on that album). The tour (and resulting live album) were such a success that the group announced that they decided to continue working together, with all new material coming from this group to be released under the "Heaven & Hell" name. The lone Heaven & Hell studio album, "The Devil You Know", was released in April 2009. They disbanded following Dio's death from stomach cancer in May 2010.
Album:
Ronnie James Dio joined Black Sabbath for 1980’s platinum selling Heaven And Hell album. When Dio regrouped with Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Vinny Appice between 2007 and 2009 they did so under the name Heaven & Hell. They released the live albums Live at Radio City Music Hall in 2007 and Neon Knights Live at Wacken in 2009, plus their sole studio album The Devil You Know in 2009. These recordings are now collected together as Breaking Out Of Heaven 2007-2009 on a 7LP box set, featuring the aforementioned live shows in their entirety. These were the last recordings made by Ronnie James Dio before he sadly passed away in 2010, and represent a fitting testament to the music he made with Black Sabbath, featuring tracks from Heaven And Hell, Mob Rules, Dehumanizer and The Dio Years.The Devil You Know isn’t perfect, but it is a record with moments of absolute perfection. The enormous epic doom of Bible Black is equal to anything at the top end of all involved’s catalogue, showing just what magic could come from Iommi and Dio in full flight. The point where it shifts from the intro to full-roar riff, or when the chorus comes in and the singer demands that 'I must have The Bible Black', are still the sort of things you fell in you pulling at your heart when metal is at its very best.Rock And Roll Angel remains an awkward dud despite leading with a satisfying Smashing Pumpkins-ish riff, but album starter Atom And Evil, Fear and Double The Pain are all knockouts of riffy brawn and Dio’s vocals that switch between soft silk and creaking leather on a sixpence.The live stuff demonstrates this to an even higher degree. The gig at Radio City showed that, years after they wrote them and last played them, absolute bangers like Neon Knights, Mob Rules and The Sign Of The Southern Cross sounded box-fresh, electrified. Dio’s gentle singing at the start of the mysterious Children Of The Sea, or the way he captures the vastness of the band’s signature song, is simply one of the greatest rock singers to ever live at the top of his game. Lesser-known tunes, meanwhile, like I, Computer God and the ultra-doom of After All (The Dead) – which they opened with – sound incredible.It's a similar story for the Wacken recordings, also featuring Bible Black and Fear from The Devil You Know. Not that you’d ever need reminding, but the wonder of what Dio could do could still bring grown men to tears.For Sabb-heads, this is all obviously completely essential. But if you’re unfamiliar with this era of The Greatest Band That Ever Lived, it collects a load of their best songs together, and presents them brilliantly, performed with all the life, excitement and romance they deserve.
