ABOUT MY PAIN,
Black Sabbath:
The Dio Years
is a 2007 compilation CD
of material
recorded by
the English
heavy metal band
during vocalist
tenure in the band.
The CD contains
remastered tracks
taken from the
studio albums
Heaven and Hell
(1980),
Mob Rules
(1981),
and
Dehumanizer
(1992),
It contains
three songs
that were recorded
in 2007:
"The Devil Cried",
"Shadow of the Wind",
and
"Ear in the Wall".
It was reported that
the collection was
first conceived of
as a box set
including
all albums from
Heaven and Hell
to
The Eternal Idol.
This idea was eventually
scrapped,
and instead a box set
was planned to feature
just the four albums
recorded from
the Dio era
This second idea
was put aside,
though would eventually be
revisited as
a box set
released in
the summer of 2008.
In an interview conducted by
Martin Popoff,
Tony Iommi
revealed that
originally two new tracks
were planned,
but after recording
three new songs
the original plan
was changed to
accommodate all three tracks
in the compilation.
On February 23rd 2007,
both Eddie Trunk
and Sirius
Satellite Radio
unveiled the song
"The Devil Cried"
from the upcoming album.
Rhino Records
subsequently made
the track available
(for preview only)
on February, 26th 2007.
"The Devil Cried"
was released as a single
on
March, 13th 2007.
After the recording
was completed,
the members decided to
tour under the moniker
Heaven & Hell.
Dio and Iommi
decided that the
working partnership
they had achieved
in recording
the three new songs
would not be wasted,
so they recorded
The Devil You Know.
When This Came Out In
