Ronnie is about one-hundred years old, and he can still fucking rock. It's hard to imagine a bunch of old guys like this sitting around playing music this heavy. Tony Iommi is like, 63, right? In my town, a man in his sixties doesn't even listen to music anymore.

Makes me kind of wish I was alive for the days when metal was just fucking metal and wasn't caught up with being heavy as shit or technical as fuck.

One of heaviest and bittersweet send offs to the king himself. Dio kills it on this record, his voice more powerful than ever while fighting the cancer that would eventually take him from us. Tony Iommi has put out riffs that rival anything he has put out since the late 70's. Bass is simple but adds a lot of depth, and the drumming is solid. Regardless, Iommi and Dio have created an incredible debut and final album for Heaven and Hell.

Oh man, what a final album for Diosabbath, so much of this just kicks ass. Not really much else to say, check this one out!

Very nice comeback album by Dio era Sabbath-Ward. Three of the most unmistakablw people in Metal, Iommi, Dio and Butler put together a solid slab of heavy classic metal. Not as good as their 80s stuff and Degumanizer, but nevertheless solid.

I'm reminded, after Black Sabbath's final concert, that 13 doesn't have to stand as the last "good" Sabbath album. After constant legal wars between the band and the Osbourne estate over using the fucking name, Dio and the 'Mob Rules' era Black Sabbath lineup brought Heaven and Hell together, in hopes of continuing that now defunct sound.
So how does it pan out? Quite well, actually. These are the heaviest tracks that Sabbath's ever released, and Dio sounds incredibly potent despite his advanced age, as well as deteriorating health. It wouldn't be long after this that he died fighting cancer, but you wouldn't know that listening to the material on here. It's a little too loud, and a little too long, but it's crafted with an attention to detail that's startling lacking on Sabbath's most recent releases, and stands as a strong debate point in the argument for best era in the band's long and storied career. It's an immense shame that this would be the only release to carry the moniker; regardless, this is a massive album and a worthy summary of Dio-era Sabbath.

Another reunion album that didn't need to happen. This album is full of stereotypical sabbath sounds and Dio's great vocals. But it falls victim to having not one "fast" paced song making the whole album a slow to mid-paced experience. I'm sure this was a cash in attempt that worked. Hell, I bought the record myself...Favorite tracks include: Bible Black and Rock N Roll Angel

Ronnie demonstrates that he is one of the greatest singers ever and that Tony Iommi one of the worlds greatest guitarists, a collaboration that comes out on this album as a god send.

So great to see these guys back again. The Devil You Know is a very interesting record with really good songs like Atom and Evil, Fear and specially Bible Black. Tony Iommi and Dio performances on this particular track are amazing. Sadly the king of rock'n'roll died before this supergroup make another one. RIP Mr. Ronnie James Dio.

Nearly thirty years later and Dio with the Sabbath boys don't sound too different, essentially meaning we have a heavier mix of Dehumanizer and Heaven and Hell here; which is to say it's a good overall album.

Pretty good for a bunch of really old people. Not that old folks can't rock; I'm just surprised. Dio still sounds like Dio, and Sabbath is still Sabbath... but this is more novelty for me than anything.

My favourite metal release of the year thus far. Dio-era Black Sabbath was amazing and it is continued here.
