Heaven and Hell is the record that rebooted Black Sabbath, introducing Ronnie James Dio and a new kind of epic heaviness, here on CD.
Released in 1980, it arrived after Ozzy Osbourne's exit, when many had written the band off. Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward joined forces with Dio, and producer Martin Birch helped craft a sharper, grander sound. Dio's soaring voice and fantasy-tinged lyrics pushed the band somewhere entirely new, and the album became a cornerstone of the decade's heavy metal.
Opener "Neon Knights" bolts out of the gate at a speed Sabbath had rarely attempted. "Children of the Sea" moves from a gentle acoustic intro to colossal riffing, while the title track "Heaven and Hell" is a slow-building seven-minute masterpiece built on Butler's prowling bassline and a Dio vocal full of drama. "Die Young" balances a dreamy opening with a furious main section.
Iommi's riffs remain the spine of everything, yet the songs feel more melodic and dramatic than anything in the Ozzy years.
For metal fans, this is essential listening, a classic line-up change that produced a classic album. Its eight songs still sound enormous, and its influence can be heard across decades of heavy music that followed.
