1. A Heavy Metal group… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least two groups with this name.
1. A Heavy Metal group composed of current and former members of Black Sabbath.
2. An electronic group from Contraseña Records who have released the Alive & Kicking (Single).
Heaven and Hell were a music collaboration featuring current Black Sabbath members Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler along with former members Ronnie James Dio (RIP) and Vinny Appice. 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.
Die Young
Heaven & Hell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gather the wind,
Though the wind won't help you fly at all
Your back's to the wall
Chain the sun, and it tears away (and it breaks)
You as you run, you run, you run
Behind the smile,
You'll never get old - ha!
Life's fantasy, to be locked away and still to think you're free,
You're free, we're free
So live for today, but tomorrow never comes
Die young, die young
Can't you see the writing in the end?
Die young, gonna die young
Someone stopped the fall
Gather the wind,
Though the wind won't help you fly at all
Your back's to the wall
Then chain the sun, and it tears away, (and it breaks)
You as you run, you run, you run
So live for today, but tomorrow never comes
Die young, young
Die young, die young
Die young, die young, young
Die young, die young, die young,
Die young, die young, die young,
Die young!
The lyrics to Heaven and Hell's "Die Young" are discussing the idea of living life to the fullest and embracing the present moment because tomorrow is never guaranteed. The opening lyric, "Gather the wind, though the wind won't help you fly at all" suggests that while we may strive for greatness, external factors can hold us back. The next line, "Your back's to the wall," reinforces this idea of feeling limited or trapped.
The lyrics then shift to the idea of danger and promises, stating that "behind the smile, there's danger and a promise to be told: you'll never get old." This can be interpreted as a warning to live life to the fullest because we never know what dangers may be lurking or what promises may go unfulfilled. The chorus, "Die young, can't you see the writing in the end? Die young, gonna die young; someone stopped the fall" suggests that we must seize the day and embrace our mortality because death is inevitable.
In the end, the lyrics circle back to the idea of living for today and not worrying about tomorrow. The verses and chorus both emphasize the importance of seizing the moment and not living with regret. The repetition of "die young" throughout the song emphasizes this message and encourages listeners to live with urgency and passion.
