The 'Bible Black' video was produced by Joseph A. Russo II and James A. Fino from 23d Films, Inc. and was directed by Ben Ceccarelli. The epic song was one of the first songs written for the new album and finds the quartet of 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. Fans can stream 'Bible Black', along with the entire The Devil You Know album, this week exclusively at vh1classic.com/theleak .Heaven & Hell began writing for The Devil You Know last year, first in England at Iommi’s home studio and later in Los Angeles at Dio’s studio.
“The band had gotten too good to just walk away,” Dio says. “We wanted to show people that we were still capable of giving them new music that measured up to what we’d done in the past.”
The Devil You Know tracklisting: 'Atom And Evil', 'Fear', 'Bible Black', 'Double The Pain', 'Rock And Roll Angel', 'The Turn Of The Screw', 'Eating The Cannibals', 'Follow The Tears', 'Neverwhere', 'Breaking Into Heaven.
