Heaven and Hell

Having shed the Black Sabbath skin, Ronnie James Dio, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Vinny Appice reveal a darker, more focused side under the Heaven and Hell moniker. The album opens with the wicked creepy-crawl of "Atom and Evil" before plowing through the powerhouse "Bible Black." Other highlights include the bass intro of infectious galloper "Double the Pain," the sludgy, bluesy anthem "The Turn of the Screw" and the astounding thrasher (yes, thrasher) "Eating the Cannibals."
