Black Sabbath – Heaven And Hell (1980) (@256) http://i33.tinypic.com/142vg9v.jpg
(Review from progarchives.com, allmusic, wikipedia) Many had left Black Sabbath for dead at the dawn of the '80s, and with good reason -- the band's last few albums were not even close to their early classics, and original singer Ozzy Osbourne had just split from the band. Sharon Arden, (later Sharon Osbourne) daughter of Black Sabbath's manager suggested former Rainbow vocalist Ronnie James Dio to replace Ozzy Osbourne in 1979. Dio officially joined in June and the band began writing their next album. With a notably different vocal style from Osbourne's, Dio's addition to the band marked a change in Black Sabbath's sound. Dio came in with a different attitude, a different voice and a different musical approach, as far as vocals -- Dio would sing across the riff, whereas Ozzy would follow the riff. This gave the band another angle on writing. Produced by Martin Birch (but not wearing the usual Birch Purple-sound), Black Sabbath's comeback album is one of the most impressive and influential albums of the 80s, as the group headed a heavy metal revival, with Judas Priest (British Steel) and Motorhead's ascension to fame as well (Ace Of Spades), just in front of a wave of new groups that will be called New Wave Of British Heavy Metal. Having secured Dio on vocals (and bass), the group started rehearsing, with Geoff Nichols on bass (as well), because Geezer Butler was busy in his divorce case. Once the original bassist returned, Geoff Nichols remained with the group but concentrated on whatever keyboards sounds were needed. Dio's new ideas mixed with Iommi’s writings created the new fresh approach on the album, and the album’s general ambiance is a huge part of its success. Starting on the hit single Neon Knights (one of Sabbath’s most up-tempoed tracks ever), the group charged heavily on the dramatics, developing to goosebump levels on the longer "Children Of The Sea", the "Heaven & Hell" title track and "Lonely Is the Word" tracks. With another two shorter tracks like the anthem "Die Young" and the abrupt "Wishing Well", Heaven & Hell is a stunning metal album. Butler’s usual superb bass playing is still a very important feature. "Heaven & Hell" certainly became an emblem of a new era for metal music.
