While Black Sabbath remained one of heavy metal's top concert draws throughout the late '70s, the band's albums of the era proved to not be on par with its earlier work. This creative weakness was what caused vocalist Ozzy Osbourne to split from the band in 1979 to launch a highly successful solo career. Sabbath used the opportunity to refocus its direction, eventually replacing the group's batty frontman with ex-Rainbow member Ronnie James Dio. The new line-up's first album, 1980's HEAVEN AND HELL, proved to be Black Sabbath's most successful (both commercially and artistically) in a long time. The opening number, "Neon Knights," remains one of Sabbath's most ferocious, while "Children of the Sea" alternates between dark, brooding metal and a gentle melodicism that's stressed even further on "Lady Evil" and "Die Young."

Recorded at Criteria Recording Studios, Miami, Florida and Studio Ferber, Paris, France.

Black Sabbath: Ronnie James Dio (vocals); Tony Iommi (guitar); Geezer Butler (bass); Bill Ward (drums).

Additional personnel: Geoff Nicholls (keyboards).

5 stars The best version of Black Sabbath!
The music is so clean and crisp. Ronnie James Dio is by far a more talented vocalist the Ozzie. The best thing that ever happened to Black Sabbath was the joining of Dio in my opinion.

4 stars A very good Black Sabbath Release
Overall, a very strong release from Black Sabbath with Dio. Obviously, very different from the earlier years. Unfortunately, the recording is below average. A quality digital remaster would probably help.

5 stars The best album they ever recorded!
In this album Black Sabbath has got the mix perfect. Heaven and hell has got everything a good album needs. The guitars are set up just right, the sound is amazing, i can't get over how good it is! It's a real 'make you wanna get up and dance' album. Well done boys!

5 stars The ultimate heavy metal album!
This is it,all the elements of a great metal album.Great tunes,the powerful and melodic vocals of Dio,Iommi's crushing guitar tones,with Butler and Ward serving up a solid foundation.The last track 'lonely is the word',in my opinion,is the best slow metal tune of all time.One of the best sounding metal albums in my collection."Hand your hand,and take my hand,it's the only road i know.Yeah,lonely is the word.."

5 stars Classic.........
When You Think Van Halen You Think David Lee Roth, Black Sabbath You Think OZZY... When Both Bands Changed Singers It Took Gtting Used To, But The Spirit & Magic Remained The Same... No It's Not OZZY, It's Completley Different And It ROCKS! Black Sabbath And The DIO Years Are A MUST HAVE! Your Just Not A TRUE Metal Head With Out It...
