U.K.'s Classic Rock has heard three unfinished tracks from the forthcoming debut album from HEAVEN AND HELL. In a world-exclusive, the magazine visited the group on the final day of tracking at Rockfield Studios in Wales, U.K.
According to a posting on the Classic Rock web site, "The songs we heard were a moody, thuddingly malevolent number called 'Rock 'N' Roll Jesus', the pacier and more anthemic 'Neverwhere', and a slice of sloth-like majesty that's likely to be titled 'Breaking Into Heaven'."
Other tracks set to appear on the album — which was co-produced by the group and engineer Mike Exeter — include "Bible Black", "Double Pain" and "Atom + Evil". A late April release via Rhino is expected.
"Each of us submitted a CD of our ideas, and we narrowed it down from there," Iommi told Classic Rock. "In some ways it was like picking up where we'd left off with 'Dehumanizer' [SABBATH's 1992 album], which was also done at Rockfield."
In a recent interview with Revolver magazine, Ronnie James Dio described the material on the HEAVEN AND HELL album as "a real cross-section of everything we've done, from 'Heaven and Hell' through 'Mob Rules' and 'Dehumanizer'. I think there's a lot of 'Dehumanizer' in it, but a lot of other things, too, a real good blend of what this band has represented." |
