GUTER ZUSTAND
Heaven & Hell was a British-American heavy metal supergroup active from 2006 to 2010, featuring guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler, vocalist Ronnie James Dio and drummer Vinny Appice, the lineup that recorded the Black Sabbath albums Mob Rules (1981) and Dehumanizer (1992). The name of the group is derived from the 1980 album Heaven and Hell, the first Black Sabbath album to feature Dio as vocalist.
After Black Sabbath reunited with Dio to record three new songs for the 2007 compilation album, Black Sabbath: The Dio Years, they embarked on a 2007–2008 tour under the Heaven & Hell name. According to Iommi, this name change was made to avoid confusion between the Ozzy Osbourne and Dio fronted line-ups of Black Sabbath (the former of which had been reunited since 1997), so that fans at concerts "would not expect to hear 'Iron Man' and 'War Pigs' and all that... it's none of the old stuff, it's none of the Ozzy period. It's all Dio stuff. So by calling ourselves Heaven & Hell, it's revisiting that period."[1]
The group released one new studio album in 2009, and disbanded following Dio's death from stomach cancer in 2010.[2]
The Devil You Know is the only studio album by the British-American heavy metal band Heaven & Hell, and the third and final album to feature the lineup of Tony Iommi (guitar), Geezer Butler (bass), Ronnie James Dio (vocals), and Vinny Appice (drums), who had recorded Black Sabbath's albums Mob Rules (1981) and Dehumanizer (1992).[3] It was also Dio's final studio album before his death in May 2010.
The album's US import was released in Japan on 24 April 2009, four days earlier than its original due date of 28 April. The Japan domestic pressing which is a SHM-CD (Super High Material CD) was released on 27 April.[4] It was produced by the band and sound engineer Mike Exeter.[5]
The Devil You Know debuted at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 chart upon release, with 30,000 copies sold.[6] It was awarded Best Album at the 2010 Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards.[7]
