Free Music Notes for The Dio Years
Free Music Review: Nice collection ... even nicer are the 3 new tunes!
Hit: 5 Stars
Finsally we are able to get a Dio era Black Sabbath collection. Ronnie James Dio is an unparalled singer in this genre.....
The 3 new tunes alone are worth the price of admission. They clearly show that this incarnation of Black Sabbath, currently on their 3rd reunion of sorts (early 80's, early 90's, and now here in the new millenuim) is a force to be reckoned with....
Can't wait for the new full length album "The Devil You Know" (being billed as Heaven & Hell for the name of the band). Apparently Tony Iommi & Geezer Butler wanted to keep the Ozzy Osbourne fronted incarnation of Black Sabbath on the sidelines (unlike when Dio first came to the band -to "replace" Ozzy).
The Dio Years Poster
Honoring the time Ronnie Dio spent with the band, Black Sabbath's hits "Neon Knights," "Lady Evil," and "Die Young" are featured on this compilation spanning 1980-2006. David Ling contributes liner notes and live versions of "Children of the Sea" and "Country Girl" are showcased.The idea of Black Sabbath without Ozzy Osbourne was a form of metal sacrilege in 1980, at least until people heard Ronnie James Dio belt out "Oh no, here it comes again..." to open the reformed band's Heaven and Hell. Dio's low-growl had a yowl, squaring frightfully with Tony Iommi's more reined-in crunch. And Sabbath was reborn, playing faster than they had with Ozzy and drawing crowds. Five tracks from Heaven make it to this set, where four from successor, Mob Rules, show up. The winners from each: "Neon Nights" and "Turn Up the Night," both quick, hefty wailers, steamrolling on sheer riffing tonnage. Dehumanizer rekindled the Sabbath/Dio marriage in 1992, showing speed metal's intervening influence--and the band holds up well, racing atop Vinnie Appice's iron-armed drums and Iommi's relentless, intentionally range-limited riffs. Then there are the three new tracks, all benefiting from 2006's richer low-end production and metal's return to a slower grind--where Iommi is more thrilling doling out sludge, as on "Shadow of the Wind," where chords sound slo-mo and blessedly narrow in range. Yes, "Ear on the Wall" closes the set in a hurried, fast- (not speed-) metal vibe, but at best the band is deliberately mid-tempo, making a raucous noise you're happy for after all these years. --Andrew Bartlett
