Get ready to rock! Rhino is unleashing a treasure trove for heavy metal enthusiasts with the upcoming release of 'Breaking Out Of Heaven 2007-2009', a collection that captures the legendary Ronnie James Dio's final journey with the iconic BLACK SABBATH members. But this time, they're going by the name HEAVEN & HELL!
This 4CD/Blu-Ray and 7LP box set, available on March 27th, is a must-have for any fan. It includes the complete 'Live From Radio City Music Hall' performance on vinyl for the first time, along with eight tracks making their vinyl debut. But here's where it gets exciting: the Blu-ray takes you on a visual journey with footage from 'Live From Radio City Music Hall' and 'Neon Nights: 30 Years Of Heaven & Hell - Live At Wacken', plus exclusive band interviews.
The collection showcases the band's reunion, starting with their 2007 New York triumph and ending with the 2009 studio album 'The Devil You Know' and live album 'Neon Nights'. And the tracklist? It's a metalhead's dream! From 'Atom And Evil' to 'Neon Knights', this set is a comprehensive journey through HEAVEN & HELL's later years.
But wait, there's more! The 7LP set mirrors the CD tracklist, ensuring fans can immerse themselves in the full experience. And let's not forget the illustrated book with liner notes, tour book, and poster, adding a tangible piece of history to your collection.
Ronnie James Dio's impact on heavy metal is undeniable. His replacement of Ozzy Osbourne in BLACK SABBATH in 1980 led to iconic albums like 'Heaven and Hell' and 'Mob Rules'. And his reunion with the band in 2006 under the HEAVEN & HELL name resulted in the chart-topping 'The Devil You Know'.
Tragically, Ronnie's life was cut short by stomach cancer in 2010, leaving a void in the music world. His legacy, however, lives on through his music and the memories of those who knew him, like bandmate Tony Iommi, who fondly recalls their time together and the plans they had for the future.
This collection is not just a tribute to Ronnie James Dio but also a celebration of the enduring power of heavy metal. It's a must-have for fans who want to relive the magic and for those discovering this iconic era for the first time.
