Founding member Iommi decided to name the group Heaven and Hell as the original lineup of Black Sabbath (featuring Butler, Iommi, Bill Ward and Ozzy Osbourne) is still active but on hiatus. [Please note: Tony Iommi owns all rights to the name "Black Sabbath" and as such can do with it as he sees fit. Heaven & Hell came into existence due to the band not wanting to play songs such as Iron Man and Paranoid, which would be expected of them if they toured as Black Sabbath. It has nothing to do with Ozzy Osbourne saying they couldn't use the Sabbath name.] Ward was originally part of the Heaven and Hell line-up, but it was announced on the fan-run Black Sabbath website that he was standing aside for Appice.
The possibility of a reunion of the lineup which created the Black Sabbath album Heaven and Hell in 1980 was first announced on the Spanish site Rafabasa on September 28, 2006; however with Appice in place of Ward the line-up is now that which recorded the 1981 album Mob Rules. Dio had previously announced that he and Iommi had written a new track for a proposed Black Sabbath box set consisting of music from the two periods in which he was present in the band. This set, Black Sabbath: The Dio Years, is a single-CD release featuring three new tracks, 'Shadow Of The Wind', 'The Devil Cried' and 'Ear In The Wall'.
The reunion was officially confirmed by an announcement on Tony Iommi's official website.
None of the new tracks feature keyboards but Scott Warren of Dio is the project's touring keyboardist.
The group did a world tour in 2007, and released a live CD/DVD recorded in New York called Live From Radio City Music Hall
Heaven & Hell's first full-length studio album is called The Devil You Know and was released by Rhino on April 28, 2009. The band embark on another world tour beginning in May 2009.
The band had several festival dates lined up for 2010 despite singer Ronnie James Dio's diagnosis with stomach cancer in December 2009. All of these dates were cancelled in April 2010 due to Dio's ill health, although it was not apparent whether he was suffering from a setback or just hadn't recovered as quickly as everyone had hoped. However, on 16th May 2010 an official announcement from his wife and manager, Wendy Dio, shocked music fans the world over announcing her husband's death from stomach cancer. He was 67 years old.

Bible Black
Heaven & Hell Lyrics
At last alone, his fire's dying
Burned another day
Now to pretend
And make up an ending
Somewhere far away
He reached for a book all bound in leather
Something that he knows he's never read
And the first page says beware you've found the answer
The next one says I wish you were dead!
Don't go out, put it back
You're reading from the Bible Black!
What's this word I see
Who are you and who are me
Maybe I just stumbled in the dark
I must have been out cold
But the way the story's told
They found me lying naked in the rain..yeah
Let me go I've seen a vision?
But the light has left me blind
Take me back
I must have the Bible Black!
Well here I go again
From the start to the end
I wish I could remember what I've done
Now here's another spell
It could take me straight to hell
And I feel I'm getting closer to my home
Let me go I've found addiction
And it makes me feel alive
Take me back
I must have the Bible Black!
He locks himself away and tastes the silence
Hungry for another bite of wrong
And just the words "oh Lord please take me with you"
Took him to a place we don't belong
Let him go!
He can't come back
He's reading the Bible Black!
So if your fine with dying
And what's the use of trying?
I may have know another place that you can go
It's hiding in the pages
But you may not come back
You're reading from the Bible Black!

At last alone, his fire's dying
Burned another day
Now to pretend

somewhere far away
He reached for a book all bound in leather
something that he knows he's never read

Don't go on, put it back
You're reading from the Bible Black!
What's this word I see
Who are you and who are me
Maybe I just stumbled in the dark
I must have been out cold
but the way the story's told
They found me lying naked in the rain..yeah
Let me go, I've seen religion,
But the light has left me blind!
Take me back,
I must have the bible black
Well here I go again
From the start to the end
I wish I could remember what I've done
Now here's another spell
it could take me straight to hell
and I feel I'm getting closer to my home
Let me go I've found addiction
and it makes me feel alive
Take me back
I must have the Bible Black!

Hungry for another bite of wrong
and just the words "oh Lord please take me with you"
Took him to a place we don't belong
Let him go!

He's reading from the Bible Black!
So if your fire's dying,
then what's the use of trying?
I may know another place that you can go
It's hiding in the pages
but you may not come back
you're reading from the Bible Blaaaaack!!!
