I got in the mail yesterday my copies of The Eternal Idol and Seventh Star “Deluxe Editions” from Universal Records. I was very much anticipating the releases of these two. Primarily because of what is on Disc 2 of “The Eternal Idol”. Black Sabbath fans (well, ones of this era of the band’s history) have […]
Stryper does “Heaven & Hell”
October 1, 2010 by
Back in March, I posted some news saying the Christian band Stryper was doing an album of metal covers. The songs chosen are in their words, “a collection of twelve cover songs from bands that inspired Stryper and helped to shape the band’s sound and musical identity.” Anyway, while the full album isn’t out yet, […]
“Neon Nights” Live CD & DVD to be released
September 28, 2010 by
In this day of press releases, comes a release that’s more “modern” and isn’t a re-release of something. It’s a live CD & DVD from Heaven & Hell, and is the last professionally recorded appearance of Ronnie James Dio. Oh, we’ll see other re-releases of things, but in terms of his life and the final […]
Seventh Star & Eternal Idol Press Release
September 28, 2010 by
A couple of weeks ago, I broke the news that the Ray Gillen version of the Eternal Idol was to be released. Back then I didn’t have a formal press release, but I have that today. Below is the full press release for the two releases. One slightly different bit in the press release, however. […]

The pile of release announcements continues with some other releases from the past. As with the Seventh Star & Eternal Idol announcement, I’m here to announce that available now are Deluxe Edition versions of the “Live at Last” album, as well as “Past Lives”. These are available now (they were technically released yesterday). Both of […]
Ray Gillen Eternal Idol to be Released – FOR REAL!
September 15, 2010 by
I’ve been running this site now for a little over 15 years. In all that time, I get a LOT of requests for bootlegs and whatnot. I generally don’t participate in that stuff, since I do not have time for it. However, it doesn’t stop people from asking. And in all that time, by far […]
Really good Geezer Butler Interview

Short and sweet. If you haven’t seen this interview with Geezer Butler, where he talks about the death of Dio, the Paranoid album, and a bunch of other things, you’re missing out. Go read this interview over at bravewords.com!
Dying for Love Fan Video
August 1, 2010 by
I was taking a stab at my inbox this afternoon. Not much has happened with it, I got seriously backlogged yet again (this email was sent on Nov 16th last year!). Anyway, I found this pretty cool little gem. It’s a fan made video (by John Belantakis) for the Cross Purposes track, “Dying for Love”. […]
Video from the High Voltage Festival
July 25, 2010 by
Here’s Heaven & Hell Black Sabbath doing “Heaven & Hell” with Jorn Lande & Glenn Hughes on vocals at the same time. Interesting tradeoff thing they do here. You can QUITE CLEARLY see it was videotaped. This better get released somewhere. For one of Ronnie’s charities – all proceeds go there. Also, that’s not Vinny […]
