* HeavyMithril: The vocalist is Ronnie James Dio, so this is naturally given. The opening track "Neon Knights" is about legendary knights and heroes, though it seems to also impose their ideas on the modern world, being the titular ''neon'' knights.

The 9th studio album from Music/BlackSabbath, and first without frontman Music/OzzyOsbourne.

After the disappointing reception of ''Never Say Die!'' and general band tensions finally reaching their breaking point, Ozzy was dismissed from the band. While he went off to [[Music/BlizzardOfOzz finish work on what was now his solo debut]], Sabbath needed a new singer.

Enter former Elf and {{Music/Rainbow}} vocalist Music/RonnieJamesDio.

''Heaven And Hell'' was subsequently released to smashing success. Becoming Sabbath's highest charting album since 1975's ''Sabotage'' and becoming their (at the time) 3rd highest selling album ''ever''. (It now occupies 5th place).

Most notable for its title track.
