Almost 30 years after Black Sabbath released the Heaven And Hell and Mob Rules album's, here's Heaven And Hell, or  should we call them Black Sabbath mark 2 (or 3 - depending on how you see the history of Black Sabbath, mark 2 then being Black Sabbath with Ronnie on vocals after Ozzy was fired). And what an effort it is.

Musically you could say that this album is a sort of best-of compilation of  their early eighthies albums I previously mentioned, and some influences or references to their early ninetees album Dehumanizer, only these are all brand new songs.  Expect nothing frivolous, they continue doing what there best at.  So no speedy songs, nor party songs. 

For fans of the old Black Sabbath, this is not an album to miss.  Go out and buy it.
