'Bible Black', the first single from Heaven & Hell's highly anticipated new album, The Devil You Know, is now available for download from all digital retailers. Click below to listen.
The epic tale was one of the first songs written for the new album and finds the BLACK SABBATH legends Ronnie James Dio, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Vinny Appice in top form.
"When you start off with a blockbuster like that, it makes the rest of the album so much easier because it gives you a benchmark to measure the other songs against," says Dio.
'Bible Black' begins with Iommi on acoustic guitar behind Dio's plaintive wail before the rhythm shifts to a menacing stomp for the rest of this dark tale about a book of sinister scriptures. The song is also streaming here.
