Exploring the Rules of Hell - Walk Away


The second to last song on Heaven and Hell is the first on the album that I could do without. That's not to say it's a bad song; it's just not as remarkable as the songs before it. If it didn't have some interesting stuff going on I'd call it filler.

Exploring the Rules of Hell - Die Young

"Die Young" brings quite a few new things to the table. It opens with an eerie keyboard part that reminded me of something that you might hear in a late 1970's horror movie. Iommi adds some melodic guitar parts before the band joins in to pick up the pace.

Exploring the Rules of Hell - Wishing Well

The second side of Heaven and Hell kicks off with the driving "Wishing Well". Like "Lady Evil" from side one the band is in hard rock territory here.

Exploring the Rules of Hell - Heaven and Hell


"Heaven and Hell" starts with a classic sounding Sabbath riff, something that would very much feel right at home on Master of Reality or Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. Next the rhythm section eases into the slower pace that will drive the verse. It has a lazy feel to it and it showcases what a great rhythm section Butler and Ward are.

Exploring the Rules of Hell - Lady Evil


"Lady Evil" is another brand new track for me. It took a few listens for me to really get into it, but after that I was happy to be taken on a sonic journey to "Witch's Valley".

Exploring the Rules of Hell - Children of the Sea

Heading into "Children of the Sea" I didn't recall ever really listening to it before. I always linked it to the Master of Reality track "Children of the Grave" based on the similar name. After listening I felt silly as the two songs couldn't be any more dissimilar.
