awesome heaven and hell cover! the devil may be celebrating triumph over the crucifixion, but he's really the loser at the end of time, so his gloating is like counting his chickens before they are hatched.

now listening to: lamb of god "wrath"

Looks like a Dan Seagrave painting, wonder who did it. Awesome though, bound to separate the men (and Jenny) from the boys.

Ozzy Osbourne I think. He was in the band before Ronnie James Dio and recorded eight albums with them I think. He also had a solo career which made sure he'd never have to work again. I'm surprised you haven't heard of him actually.

Diamond Oz- We all know the history of the 70's and 80's, not let me fill you in on more recent events. The songwriting members of this band have been prepared to record a new Sabbath album for the past decade, but have been unable to effectively achieve such a goal. Initially they had planned to do so with original singer-turned reality TV star Ozzy Osbourne. After years of frustration due to Ozzy's inability to actually write music or even commit to the project, they turned to the man who had previously replaced him, one Ronnie James Dio. After two successful tours the reunited second (third if you count a drummer change) incarnation of the lineup- now performing under the moniker Heaven and Hell to avoid any deflamation from Ozzy's Lord and master, Sauron Osbourne- decided to record the album they envisioned for the better part of the past 10 years.
Therefore my "Ozzy who?"comment was not in reference to the identity of the singer, but rather his involvement in the current project. Let me know if you have any questions, bro.

The 41 is for how many years the band has been going overall. I'm still trying to work out the 25 though.

If anyone is curious, the cover art is from an already existing artwork called "Satan" by Per Øyvind Haagensen. Its just that for the album cover the work is changed a bit. I saw two original versions of the artwork by the artist, but yeah.

That is an intensely beautiful cover. I agree with Cynic, it looks a lot like something Dan Seagrave would do, but perhaps a bit more polished and sleek, but then again I'm not familiar with all of Seagrave's work, just some of it.

Good find Jenny! If you look at some of Dan Seagrave's extensive metal cover work you can see similarities but I always like to know things for sure!
