BLACK SABBATH - Heaven And Hell · BLACK 2LP

Black double vinyl, remastered in gatefold sleeve.

Background information über 'Heaven And Hell'

What a phenomenal return to form this was! "Heaven And Hell" marked Black Sabbath's triumphant renaissance in 1980, introducing the world to the powerhouse vocals of Ronnie James Dio after Ozzy Osbourne's departure. This album is pure heavy metal magic - from the driving opener "Neon Knights" to the epic title track that became an instant classic, every song showcases a band reborn and hungry to prove themselves all over again. Tony Iommi's guitar work is absolutely crushing here, while Geezer Butler and Bill Ward provide the thunderous rhythm section that made Sabbath legendary.

The album's dark fantasy themes and Dio's operatic delivery created something truly special that bridged classic Sabbath heaviness with a more polished, theatrical approach. Songs like "Children Of The Sea" and "Die Young" demonstrate the perfect chemistry between Dio's storytelling abilities and the band's knack for crafting memorable hooks. This remastered edition really brings out the power and clarity of the original recordings, plus you get those killer live bonus tracks that show just how tight this lineup was on stage. It's essential listening that proves Black Sabbath could reinvent themselves without losing their soul.

For fans of: Rainbow, Deep Purple, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and Dio
