One of three songs recorded for inclusion with a Dio era Black Sabbath best of collection in 2007, "The Devil Cried" shows the band in top form. It's the same line-up from Mob Rules, Live Evil and Dehumanzier.
Iommi's guitar tone is thick and punchy, Appice's drums are solid and Butler's bass is as deep as ever. Dio's voice shows no sign of the15 year layoff from the band.
It's a good track and I'm glad it was included on the digital version of The Rules of Hell.
One interesting note: The three new songs are credited to Iommi/Dio from a songwriting perspective.
Tomorrow, "Shadow of the Wind"!
