A reunion of classic rock legends under a different name \u2013 and a final curtain for their second best-known lead singer \u2013 is the focus of Rhino\u2019s latest box set, devoted to the late-period work of Black Sabbath under the name Heaven & Hell.<\/p>\n

Breaking Out of Heaven 2007-2009\u00a0includes the complete studio recordings from the reunion of singer Ronnie James Dio, guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler and drummer Vinny Appice (including the album\u00a0The Devil You Know and a trio of tracks recorded for a Dio-era Sabbath compilation that kicked off the reunion), plus two live sets at New York\u2019s Radio City Music Hall in 2007 and the Wacken Open Air Festival in 2009. The box will be available on four CDs or seven LPs, with the former package adding a Blu-ray featuring previously released video of the aforementioned live sets and band interviews. Both sets feature a new illustrated book with liner notes by Hugh Gilmour, along with a replica tour program and poster. The package is available March 27.<\/p>\n

Dio, who\u2019d come into prominence for metal fans as the vocalist of Ritchie Blackmore\u2019s Rainbow<\/a>, was a powerful choice to replace an ousted Ozzy Osbourne as the frontman for British heavy metal icons Black Sabbath. He led the group on 1980\u2019s\u00a0Heaven and Hell and 1981\u2019s\u00a0The Mob Rules\u00a0(the latter featuring session legend Appice in place of founding drummer Bill Ward) before creating his own, eponymous, ever-changing combo Dio and barreling through the \u201980s with his engaging hard rock. But Dio was never fully away from Sabbath, even as Iommi continued to lead the group through changes: the Mob Rules lineup reconvened for 1992\u2019s\u00a0Dehumanizer, and joined forces once more in 2007 to record new material for a collection from Rhino devoted to this phase of the group.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The Sabbath members enjoyed working together again and made plans to not only tour but record additional material \u2013 but since Iommi and Butler had reunited with Osbourne and Ward in the mid-\u201990s and continued to perform together as well, the group decided to perform as Heaven & Hell. After a tour that saw the group exclusively play Dio-led Sabbath material in 2007, the quartet issued\u00a0The Devil You Know two years later, which reached the Top 10 on the\u00a0Billboard\u00a0charts and spurred another tour; tragically, plans to keep performing were curtailed when Dio was diagnosed with stomach cancer. He died of the disease a year later \u2013 and\u00a0Breaking Out of Heaven is the latest tribute to his everlasting memory.<\/p>\n
