According to Black-Sabbath.com, the new BLACK SABBATH track "The Devil Cried" is available for streaming via the Rhino Records web site. Check it out in the following formats: Windows Media (100k) Windows Media (56k) Real PlayerQuicktime"The Devil Cried" will be released in digital form to the public via all digital retailers on Tuesday, March 13. The song was written and produced by guitarist Tony Iommi and singer Ronnie James Dio and was recorded with bassist Geezer Butler and drummer Vinny Appice in November 2006 in the U.K. The cut was engineered and mixed by Mike Exeter, who worked on Iommi's "Fused" and "The 1996 DEP Sessions". "The Devil Cried" is the first single off the group's forthcoming "best-of" collection, "Black Sabbath: The Dio Years". The first comprehensive introduction to the band's legacy features a dozen classic studio recordings, plus one live track — "Children Of The Sea" from 1982's "Live Evil". The collection also contains the three brand-new tracks — the aforementioned "The Devil Cried", plus "Shadow Of The Wind", and "Ear In The Wall". The disc will be available April 3 at all physical retail outlets and at www.rhino.com for a suggested list price of $18.98. The album will also be available at all digital retail outlets for a suggested retail price of $11.99. Check out the cover artwork at this location. Arranged chronologically, the compilation spotlights singer Ronnie James Dio's time with BLACK SABBATH and draws heavily from the lineup's 1980 debut and 1981 follow-up, "Heaven and Hell" and "Mob Rules" respectively. Recognized as back-to-back metal classics, the albums feature such signature songs as the title tracks, "Neon Knights", "Die Young", "Turn Up The Night" and "Voodoo". "The Dio Years" also features "After All (The Dead)", "TV Crimes" and "I" from the singer's brief reunion with SABBATH for the "Dehumanizer" album and tour.

Well I'm not gonna listen to it yet, I wanna try to wait until the cd comes out for that. I'm a fan of both the Ozzy and Dio era's and I have a feeling the next year or two is gonna be amazing for others who are too. I can't wait to see Heaven And Hell in Toronto, Megadeth is always great and although I don't know too much about Down I'm a huge Pantera/Anselmo fan so I'm sure it will be worth going early for, hey even if I'm not as into Down (I don't not like them just haven't heard enough yet) as Pantera Phil's on stage rants are always worth the price of admission lol
I'm even more looking forward to the new Black Sabbath album with Ozzy when or if it actually happens. Ozzy seems to be really happy with his new album saying he would be happy if Sabbath could still do another album like it, to me that say's he's confident enough in himself to move forward with Sabbath finally

What a bad ass song and Dio sounds great! Listen with some good headphones folks, makes all the difference in the world. He does sound a little rawer at times, especially toward the end, but it still sounds fantastic. The guitar work is first rate as always with Iommi. End solo is nice. His time reminds of Sabotage era stuff, a little tighter but close. First line is a bit corney but so what -- all death metal is corny, in fact most metal is at times! Sounds a lot like the Dehumanzier era stuff overall, which is highly under rated and excellent.

It amazes me what/how people will criticize songs and bands on this site and the fucking nit picky shit they will focus on. Is this the best fucking song I've ever heard? No, but it works for me and I look forward to the tour. There are people on this site that would find something to bitch about if they were the head oil boy at the Playboy Mansion swimming pool.

GREAT SONG! I already like it better than pretty much anything off of Dehumanizer. Can't wait to hear the other two new tracks!
I saw Sabbath on the Heaven and Hell tour on August 15, 1980. It was my very first concert, I was 17 and a senior in high school. I still have the t-shirt. It was an experience that I will never forget. I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS UPCOMING TOUR!

How can you claim to be a huge Anselmo fan and then say you don't know much about DOWN? In actuality, you are a huge PANTERA fan, but even the most casual of Philip Anselmo fans are familiar with DOWN and SUPERJOINT RITUAL.

Very true. I, myself, am a big fan of phil anselmo (pantera would have never made it where they did without him), and, though it is probably considered blasphemy.... i would have to say i prefer Down to Pantera.
That being said...... this song was pretty good, especially considering the ages of these guys and how long it has been since they played together.

This is a good song. Not great, but good. Solid vocals by Dio, some nice riffs and a really good solo at the end. Im looking forward to the other songs. I doubt theyll play this or any other new song at the shows unless most fans just absolutely love them to death, since theyll be begging for the old classics.

Has anyone said when the real date of the Sabbath w/Ozzy release will be? Obviously it cant be late this year as thatd be virtually impossible. Heaven & Hell will be touring all year, Ozzy will have his own album to promote, etc. I just dont think theyll have the time. I hope we also see a Heaven & Hell album.

I do wish Heaven & Hell would play at least a couple Ozzy-era Sabbath songs, ones that Ozzy could never pull off today, but thats just me. Songs like Megalomania, Supernaut, Symptom of the Universe, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Killing Yourself to Live, etc. But hey I cant complain...unless they dont come anywhere near Houston!

The Viceroy - I can claim to be a huge Anselmo fan because I love what he did with Pantera, if that makes me a Pantera fan only in your opinion I disagree but oh well
Skanna - Hairy pussy's are disgusting in my opinion, who wants to pic smelly pubic hair out of their teeth ? and for those who say it's more natural and the wan't real woman not kids etc.. well then do you still love chicks with hairy legs and arm pits ? I mean thats more natural and less child like too right ? I just thing a nice clean shaven pussy is much cleaner looking, doesn't smell and costs less because I don't have to buy extra floss for my teeth

Hell yes he is awesome -- why many consider him the greatest voice ever in metal. I'd put him in the top 5 for sure. Go back and get Heaven & Hell (Black Sabbath) and Rising (Rainbow) for classic Dio.
And listening to this again, I can't believe someone said the guitar sounds thin, hardly. Kids today don't know guitar tone -- sorry, Iommi doesn't play an Ibanez RG through a Crate solid state half stack. That's all SG and Laney.

They did two studio albums with this lineup and one live album. Make that three studio and one live if its just Dio, Geezer and Tony. Vinnie did not play on Heaven and Hell. It is also being sold as a Sabbath record -- Black Sabbath the Dio Years and this and two other new songs are on it. The touring band is Heaven and Hell. Even Dio has stated that everybody will call it Black Sabbath.

This lineup never did 3 records plus a live album, Bill Ward played on Heaven And Hell not Vinnie. And like I said I could never consider it Sabbath anyway. The original Black Sabbath was togeather for over a decade, onc Ozzy left the sound of the band and in my opinion name of the band should have changed. Axl Rose is not guns N Roses, the Misfits were not The Misfits without Danzig, Zeppelin wouldn't be Zeppelin without John but Black Sabbath is still Black Sabbath without Ozzy Osbourne or Bill Ward ? the original singer and drummer for over 10 years ? especially when that version is at the time still together and planning another album ? please somebody tell me why this opinion is not selective

By the way like I have already said, I'm a huge Ozzy fan, a huge Dio fan and a huge Sabbath fan. I love Sabbath with Ozzy and feel the Dio era was amazing too (but still not Sabbath) Dio is a better technical singer then Ozzy but I prefer Ozzy's more raw vocals in Sabbath, they fit the sound and mood of the lyrics alot better. If it was all about who the best technical singer was then shouldn't Celine Dion be fronting Sabbath ? and that is in no way a shot against Ronnie because I love his voice but it's just not what Sabbath is. Heaven And Hell / fuck yeah, good choice to change the name

Why would they bother putting the live version of Children of the Sea on this compilation (especially since it is the only live song included)? If they wanted a live example of Dio era SABBATH included on the record, wouldn't it make more sense, historically and commercially, to include the live version of Die Young from the Mob Rules 12," seeing as how Die Young does not appear on the Live Evil record?

Tony Iommi is the heart and soul of the Black Sabbath. I understand you think Sabbath is not Sabbath without Ozzy. That's what alot of folks saying. But Tony is the Sabbath to tons of fans as well. He's the one who's been keeping it alive for the last 37 years or so. And his stuff without Ozzy or Dio is still as good as any of previous Sabbath albums if you ask me.

In my opinion it does make you only a PANTERA fan. But hell, that's nothing to be ashamed of.
Now go out and get DOWN's NOLA record and bask in the true greatness of Philip Anselmo. It might be his finest moment. It is true gloomy heaviness in the classic SABBATH sense. And while you are at it, check out SUPERJOINT RITUAL. If you are going to call yourself a fan of The King, then at least familiarize yourself with his commercially available output.

Viceroy, good point. Any why include a live version of Children of the Sea when the studio version of the song sounds so much better with its overdubs and production?
I would rather a live version of Turn up the Night, Computer God, or even an Ozzy era song like Symptom of the UNiverse or Sabbath bloody sabbath.

This whole HEAVEN AND HELL tour, the BLACK SABBATH the DIO Years album, is about the music of BLACK SABBATH featuring Ronnie James Dio. If you want to hear Dio singing Ozzy era BLACK SABBATH, the put on Live Evil or get a copy of the Black and Blue Tour on video or DVD and watch that.
It's a pretty simple concept to grasp: THEY WILL ONLY BE PLAYING SONGS THAT DIO RECORDED WITH BLACK SABBATH. No Ozzy era. No DIO solo material. No Dio era RAINBOW. JUST BLACK SABBATH SONGS THAT WERE ORIGINALLY SUNG BY RONNIE JAMES DIO.
And my point about putting the live version of Die Young on this compilation was that it isn't available anywhere but on the Mob Rules 12" which was an import in the US.

Before I comment on the song, I must say that I am a huge Black Sabbath fan with ozzy or with Ronnie..and also I love and own all Dio albums..that said..here I go...
Well, I listened to the song 6 times to analize it before commenting on it.
The Good-- Good Doomy Riffs by Iommi, Dio still have a powerful voice, Good solos by Iommi and Vinny Appice's drumming is solid.
The Bad-- Dio's Melodies are not that original or good at all and I miss hearing Dio hitting high notes.
The Ugly-- Lyrics are horrible, Ronnie needs to let Geezer write them if they decide to do a new album, this song lyrics are too cheesy, corny and dumb for my taste..Dio has done and can do better. And lastly....The Production!!!!!!... it is below average...where is the BASS???? ..comon now its Geezer and we need to hear him.
Overall it is a Good Song, not great...out of 10 I give it 7.

That backround riff is a direct lift from Fear Factory's 'Pisschrist',
Vinnie Appice's drums and playing have always sounded shitty to me, he's a big reason I never listened to DIO solo. I'll take GZR any time over this, time to move on folks, nothing to see here...
I'll be waiting for 'The Apostasy' from BEHEMOTH, and the CD of the year, 'In Sorte Diaboli' from the mighty Dimmu Borgir.

why dosn't Ozzy just quit black sabbath? hes more into his Solo shit... instead hes telling the other black sabbath members he dosnt wanna make another CD. yet hes trying to stay a legal member for the Financial Gain.

We don't agree on much. In my opinion, Heaven and Hell is better for a few simple reasons: better riffs, solos, lyrics, and production. What else is there?

It's more Ozzy Osourne Black Sabbath oriented than Ronnie James Dio Black Sabbth, so, it's kind of dissapointing, I kind of miss the wild abandon of the first two Ronnie James Dio Black Sabbath albums...

love it.
doomy, catchy. i don't know why people are down on RJD. his pipes sound pretty damn good to me. when you figure out how ancient he is, it's incredible really.
and Tony's still got the riffs and the solos.
three tunes like this are well worth my $16.
cheers.

I also caught "Fear Factory" melody in the song, but I guess Black Sabbath can be forgiven. They've created Metal so...

This song totally rocks! Dio sounds in top form, his voice suits Tony's playing perfectly. Tell me who on earth can belt out vocals like that at 64. The lyrics are kinda weird sometimes but there are always underlying meanings going on. Love Sabbath with DIO!!! And Vinny too.

That part actually sounds more like Fear Factory than you think.
Immediately gets an attention. Same exact notes, so to speak.
But like I said, it's not important.
I like both bands anyway.

I think you're entirely wrong in assuming that Tony Iommi doesn't have a clue in today's Metal. I am very sure he listens to a lot of heavy groups. And there's a connection between Sabbath and FF. Geezer played with Bell on GZR album and Iommi had lots of cutting edge guests on his solo albums etc...
I'm sure Iommi is familiar with Fear Factory more than you think he is.
I think it's natural to draw inspiration from each other. No biggie.
I actually thought it was really cool.

... sounds like something inspired from the 1st Sabbath album... VERY gloomy and doom-heavy... also throw in a bit of Dehumanizer as well... HUGE Dio-era Sabbath fan and overall I dig the tune... although strangely enough I can almost hear Ozzy singing this as well... melody reminds me of something that he would sing as opposed to the usual melodies created by RJD... Overall, just glad we once again have music from, personally, my preferred line-up of Black Sabbath ... and seriously, the outro of this song (which now listening again kind of reminds of Zero The Hero vibe) sounds like the coming of the Apocolypse... great atmosphere!!!

After 3 listens to the new song (on small speakers), the song is only average - it is down to the lowish standard of Dehumanizer rather than the high standard of Heaven and Hell.
Come on, this song ain't a patch on Neon Knights or Die Young.

And not bad vocals either considering a guy old enough for retirement!! This proves how good songwriting can immensely improve the impression of vocal performances.

I totally agree with you, Iommi is Sabbath IMO.
To the person who said that they wished Geezer could have written the lyrics, I just wish Dio and Geezer could co-write the lyrics. To the best of my knowledge, they've never done that in Sabbath before.
Anyway, pretty good song. Wouldn't sound out of place on Dehumanizer. Dopey lyrics, but they'll do. It definitely sounds like Sabbath, and Iommi still sounds amazing. Fantastic solo, too - it's definitely classic Iommi.

Sounds like Master Of The Moon(DIO '04 Album), but with not as much elegance if I may say so. And no where near the greatness of Dehumanizer.
I'll give it a 7.5, with time could be an 8. It's doomy, heavy, and even has a nice grove. But the hook is some what lacking, not explosive enough. As usual Dio sounds outstanding and Iommi has a killer solo. Shadow Of The Wind, is the one I want to hear the most.

Does sound like Dehumanizer era Sabbath. Agreed, RJD's lyrics are so out of date (and I've been around since Elf!!!) but it does have the "Master" churning out once again as only he can. I like the song, does have a kinda "Zero The Hero" groove. Also sounds like it coulda came from Dio's "Strange Highways". All in all, if you can check out the show, do so. The end is near...

At long last, The guitar playing does sound like Sabotage era stuff, which is no bad thing. I've listened to this song about 3 times now and it keeps sounding better. Definately want a new album, because you know its gonna be better than Ozzy's new stuff.

I've never posted on Blabbermouth before and to be fair I don't think I will in the future. But, the underlying melody in the chorus is the same as Pisschrist by Fear Factory from Demanufacture. Please feel free to listen to it.

I hope Ronnie and Toni decide to record a full length album with the reunited llineup. Its about time Sabbath record a new record. Ozzy is out of it $haron will never let him do anything creative ever again. Sharon can eat her heart out while this Heaven & Hell tour tears up the world, and I hope her flop ozzfest falls flat on its face!!!!
