HEAVEN AND HELL: 'The Devil You Know' Artwork Revealed? - Mar. 6, 2009
A photo of what appears to be the final artwork for "The Devil You Know", the forthcoming debut album from HEAVEN AND HELL — the band featuring BLACK SABBATH members Tony Iommi (guitar), Ronnie James Dio (vocals), Geezer Butler (bass) and Vinny Appice (drums) — has popped up online and can be viewed below.

"The Devil You Know" is scheduled for release on April 28 via Rhino. The LP was recorded at Rockfield Studios in Wales, U.K. where the 1992 SABBATH album "Dehumanizer" was also tracked.

The track listing for the CD is as follows:

01. Atom & Evil
02. Fear
03. Bible Black
04. Double the Pain
05. Rock & Roll Angel
06. The Turn of the Screw
07. Eating the Cannibals
08. Follow the Tears
09. Neverwhere
10. Breaking into Heaven

"Everyone had so much fun playing together that we didn't want it to end," says the group in a press release. "We started writing together and the songs started flowing like we never stopped. We wound up writing and recording an album that stands up to anything we've ever done. We're really proud of the music and excited for people to hear it."

"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."

HEAVEN AND HELL will premier "The Devil You Know" on the April 29 edition of the nationally syndicated radio show "Rockline" with host Bob Coburn at 8:30 p.m. PT / 11:30 p.m. ET. An encore presentation of the show will air on May 4. Fans are encouraged to speak with HEAVEN AND HELL by calling 1-800-344-ROCK (7625).

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.

The artwork looks sinister and mean, no doubt the music will be a reflection of this. Also- I love how the Black Sabbath devil is visible.

Hope it's a lot better than that. I think the Heaven and Hell/Mob Rules albums blow Dehumanizer away. Just an opinion.

if that's the tray card, then there's potential for the actual cover to kick even more ass. i like what i see, but would still like to see it at a different angle, without the light reflecting off it.

looking forward to this album, and it should be called Heaven and Hell rather then Black Sabbath. and these guys are just making this music for fun, and if it sells good then fine. the music will probably be better because they are doing it for themselfs

COMMENT | About the art
posted by : Lorn
3/6/2009 5:22:26 PM

The art comes from a picture entitled "Satan’, Per Øyvind Haagensen, Norway. Just type it in google and the first link is there, a sire called Avairy. Also probably in google images. I ran across this art last year sometime andsaved it in a folder. As soon as I saw that album cover, I thought it looked familiar, and certainly enough, there was the ful picture in my folder. Sabbath has always used notable artists and art for their work. This pice of art seems sort of Lovecraftian influenced, and reminds me a of an HR Giger piece where this creature is using a crucified person as a slings shot. Anyway, check out the art, there are a few background differences, but s the same thing and you see more of the picture.

CANT FUCKING WAIT for this album. IT IS GOING TO BE FUCKING TREMENDOUS! The gods are coming, look out!

like it was pirated rather than revealed.

Also, as much as I love Megadeth and Heaven & Hell, I hate those lame plays on words. Atom & Evil has got to go. Reminds me of my buddy's band, Evilocity.

Ozzy couldn't get round to doing an album (or his wife wouldn't let him) with these guys in almost ten years.

Dio's done it in 3.

Ozzy get a grip and do a new Sabbath album when these guys have wrapped this up or gone on hiatus.
