Komodo Rock's Mike Elliott has issued a new interview with legendary vocalist RONNIE JAMES DIO (HEAVEN AND HELL, BLACK SABBATH, DIO).

The following is an excerpt from the chat:

Q: So with it having gone gold there has been talk of maybe a new studio album from Heaven And Hell next year. Is that something that could happen?

A: "Yes, we have decided to do that. When it would be, I couldn’t tell you. This is the last part of the tour after about 9 months on the road. It’s time for us to take a little breather. When the time is right we will get together and start writing for the next album, but as far as the release date goes it will probably be later next year."

Q: Does that mean that you won’t be going back to the solo Dio stuff for a while then?

A: "I will. I plan on doing some touring around March or April. Sometime like that. I want to keep a hand in on that one. I love this band that I play with as well, and it’s another career, another career with a lot of great music as well.

You will see that a lot in the shows that we do play. When people ask if we are going to be doing any Dio material. That’s always a nice compliment. But of course we

don’t. It would be wrong to do that.

It’s nice to know though that people don’t forget and it’s something that they want to hear again so much like we are doing with Sabbath now those songs live forever and they become kinda classics of their own. There is always that path to go down and I will."

Q: With touring with Dio, the band, and recording another album next year does that mean there is unlikely to be another Heaven And Hell tour next year?

A: "I don’t know if there will be one next year. It depends on how long it takes us to do what we do. When you do an album you have to tour with it. When it is I don’t know but I’m sure we will."
