July 25, 2007: Geezer Butler [sitting] and Tony Iommi share a moment at Rockfield Studios in Wales during the recording sessions for Heaven & Hell’s only studio album, 2009’s The Devil You Know. The album, which spawned “Bible Black,” “Atom and Evil” and “Breaking into Heaven,” also stars drummer Vinny Appice and vocalist Ronnie James Dio (1942-2010). “Getting back together with Ronnie this time is a totally different thing,” Iommi told GW’s Chris Gill in late 2008. “We give and take a lot more all around. If you become too stubborn in these things, they don’t last. It just blows to pieces. We definitely realize that this is it. We’ve dropped all of our egos and we’re getting on with it. It’s been great this time.” — D.F.
