Heaven & Hell’s Final Chapter With Ronnie James Dio Is Out Now in a Stunning New Boxed Set

Rhino Records has put together something genuinely essential for heavy metal fans. ‘Breaking Out Of Heaven 2007–2009,’ the definitive document of Heaven & Hell’s reunion run, is out now in both 7 LP and 4 CD/Blu-ray boxed set editions, and it captures one of metal’s great unexpected second acts in full.

The collection covers the complete arc of the reunion, from the triumphant 2007 Radio City Music Hall performance through the Top 10 studio album ‘The Devil You Know’ in 2009, and closing with ‘Neon Nights: 30 Years Of Heaven & Hell,’ the live album recorded at Wacken that same year. Ronnie James Dio, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Vinny Appice operating together one final time, and every minute of it sounds like it mattered deeply to everyone involved.

The set includes 8 tracks making their vinyl debut and marks the first time the complete ‘Live From Radio City Music Hall’ performance has appeared on vinyl. Both editions come with an illustrated book featuring new liner notes by Hugh Gilmour, a replica tour book, and a poster. The Blu-ray adds video from both Radio City Music Hall and Wacken, plus band interviews that put the reunion in full context.

Dio passed away in May 2010, making this period the final chapter of one of heavy metal’s most beloved careers. ‘Breaking Out Of Heaven 2007–2009’ treats that legacy with exactly the care and respect it deserves.
