Get ready for a musical journey like no other! The legacy of Ronnie James Dio and his time with BLACK SABBATH is about to be celebrated in a whole new way.
Rhino is releasing an incredible collection titled "Breaking Out Of Heaven 2007-2009", focusing on the final chapter of Dio's remarkable journey with members of the iconic BLACK SABBATH. Reuniting under the name HEAVEN & HELL, these legendary musicians brought us an unexpected encore, decades after their initial collaboration.
This collection, available on March 27th, is a must-have for any music enthusiast. It comes in two formats: a 7LP vinyl set and a 4CD/Blu-ray box, each packed with exclusive content. Both editions include an illustrated book with insightful liner notes, a replica tour book, and a poster, offering a comprehensive look at this era.
But here's where it gets exciting: this release marks the first time the complete "Live From Radio City Music Hall" performance is available on vinyl! And that's not all; there are eight tracks making their vinyl debut, including studio gems from "The Dio Years" and select live performances that will leave you wanting more.
The Blu-ray version takes it up a notch, featuring videos from the aforementioned live shows and the epic "Neon Nights: 30 Years Of Heaven & Hell - Live At Wacken", along with insightful band interviews. To whet your appetite, an HD-upscaled video of "Bible Black" is out now, so be sure to check it out!
"Breaking Out Of Heaven 2007-2009" chronicles the band's reunion journey, starting with their awe-inspiring 2007 New York performance, followed by the critically acclaimed studio album "The Devil You Know" in 2009, and the live masterpiece "Neon Nights: 30 Years Of Heaven & Hell - Live at Wacken", captured during their German tour.
The 4CD track listing is a treasure trove of musical delights, with each disc offering a unique experience. Disc One, "The Devil You Know", takes you on a journey through tracks like "Atom And Evil" and "Fear", while Disc Two and Three bring the live energy of Radio City Music Hall to life. Disc Four, "Neon Nights: 30 Years Of Heaven & Hell", showcases the band's evolution and impact over the years.
For the vinyl enthusiasts, the 7LP track listing is a work of art in itself, with each side carefully curated. From the powerful "Atom and Evil" to the emotional "Lonely Is the Word", every song tells a story.
The Blu-ray video content is a treat for the eyes and ears, with the iconic "Live from Radio City Music Hall" performance and the energetic "Neon Nights: 30 Years Of Heaven & Hell" show. But that's not all; there are extras like "Heaven And Hell Road Movie" and "Hail The Gods Of Metal" that offer a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the world of HEAVEN & HELL.
And this is the part most people miss: the personal stories and reflections of the band members. Tony Iommi's heartfelt recollection of his time with Dio is a testament to the impact this collaboration had on their lives.
