 Posted: Tue Feb 10, 2009 9:56 am Post subject: New H&H Album: The Devil You Know |
 |
|
According to Billboard.com, HEAVEN AND HELL — the band featuring BLACK SABBATH members Tony Iommi (guitar), Ronnie James Dio (vocals), Geezer Butler (bass) and Vinny Appice (drums) — has set "The Devil You Know" as the title of its debut album, due on April 28 via Rhino. Songtitles set to appear on the CD include "Bible Black", "Rock & Roll Angel", "Breaking Into Heaven", "Atom & Evil" and "Eating the Cannibals". The LP was recorded at Rockfield Studios in Wales, U.K. where the 1992 SABBATH album "Dehumanizer" was also tracked.
"Each of us submitted a CD of our ideas, and we narrowed it down from there," Iommi told Classic Rock. "In some ways it was like picking up where we'd left off with 'Dehumanizer'."
In a recent interview with Revolver magazine, Ronnie James Dio described the material on the HEAVEN AND HELL album as "a real cross-section of everything we've done, from 'Heaven and Hell' through 'Mob Rules' and 'Dehumanizer'. I think there's a lot of 'Dehumanizer' in it, but a lot of other things, too, a real good blend of what this band has represented."
Three years ago, Dio, Iommi, Butler and Appice reunited to record a trio of new songs for Rhino's "Black Sabbath: The Dio Years" before launching a highly anticipated and greatly acclaimed world tour under their new moniker HEAVEN AND HELL. Revitalized by the reunion, the lineup returned to the studio to record the first-ever full-length studio album from HEAVEN AND HELL. To whet the fans' appetites for the new album, HEAVEN AND HELL hit the road last summer for a short stint on the Metal Masters Tour, a month-long North American trek with JUDAS PRIEST, MOTÖRHEAD, and TESTAMENT.
Regarding the band's decision to continue to operate as HEAVEN AND HELL rather than BLACK SABBATH, Iommi told Billboard.com last year, "It really is BLACK SABBATH, whatever we do. We just choose to go out as HEAVEN AND HELL so everyone knows what they're getting [and] so people won't expect to hear 'Iron Man' and all those songs. We've done them for so many years, it's nice to do just all the stuff with did with Ronnie again."
BLACK SABBATH's "The Rules Of Hell" box set — which features all three of SABBATH's Dio-era studio releases ("Heaven And Hell", "Mob Rules", "Dehumanizer") and its double live collection ("Live Evil"), each remastered for the first time — sold around 2,650 copies in the United States in its first week of release back in July 2008, according to Nielsen SoundScan."The Rules Of Hell" comes packaged in a deluxe slipcase with extensive liner notes featuring all new interviews with the band.

I giggled at Eating the Cannibals!
I can't decide if I want to pre-order it or actually go to the music store(Does anybody do that anymore? I'm old! LOL!!) and get into some lame discussion with the "music expert" working there. |

Usually most online sources send it so you have it on the day it is normally released. Sometimes it arrives even before the official release date
Plus it is usually cheaper than if bought locally, and in most cases, no sales tax either

Over 9 years since I bought a cd/dvd from a shop.
There was 2 occasions I did wait in line
but before I got to the checkout I walked out of shop.
This was of course a Virgin Megastore who then become Zavvi in the UK they just stopped trading for good on Friday all of their stores closed now.I am waiting for Amazon to start taking pre-orders 
I have found the so called 'music experts' in cd shops really only know about music that is in the pop charts 
As Whitesnake once wrote on their vinyl records...they would not know ''an honest 12 inches''Go into a store these days and I bet you anything you will hear coming from their mouths 'What's vinyl?'
One of the best buys I ever got was a small turntable I can plug into the auxiliary of my state of the art hard drive hi-fi with its flashy colours and beautiful design it just does not have the same soul or sound when its playing cds but with the auxiliary channel I can find that warmth and richness in my vinyl collection.
Its amazing how your brain can even filter out the small scratches something no media player can do.
Getting back on being off topic 
The record shop maybe dead but 'long live vinyl '  |

There's one shop I like to go to that's run by some old hippies. My favorite old hippie guy always peers over his granny glasses at me as I walk in. They have odd hours, so I most likely won't be paying him a visit. At the place in the mall (I hate malls!) a friend of a friend works there. He's not my friend, but he's a Top 40 music snob, and wrinkles his nose at what I buy. It's amusing, really! I'm tempted to go to the store just to be amused by the so called experts.
I'm with you on the vinyl....between my husband and I, we have three turntables. A record played for the first time sounds better than any CD. |
