After kicking vocalist Ozzy Osbourne out of the band in 1978, BLACK SABBATH knew they would have to strike back with a powerful record if they were to retain their credibility. They recruited ELF vocalist Ronnie James Dio, whose melodramatic vibrato shuddered with menace, and in 1980, they released Heaven and Hell, their most potent offering since Master of Reality. Faster and more theatrical than SABBATH's earlier oeuvre, Heaven and Hell features the dynamic seven-minute title track, which builds from a lazy throb to a high-octane roar, and the dynamic "Die Young," which segues from an uptempo saunter to a flamboyant midsection strangely reminiscent of QUEEN. Although the album helped build Sabbath a younger, more enthusiastic fan base, Dio only remained with the band for one more studio album, after which SABBATH's star slowly began to fade.
