In October 2006, Dio joined Black Sabbath members [[Tony Iommi]], [[Geezer Butler]] and former Black Sabbath drummer [[Vinny Appice]] to tour under the moniker Heaven & Hell, the title of the first Dio-era Black Sabbath album. They chose the name Heaven & Hell as Iommi and Butler were still in Black Sabbath with Osbourne and felt it was best to use a different moniker for the Dio version of the band. Original Black Sabbath drummer [[Bill Ward (musician)|Bill Ward]] was to be involved in this project, but later withdrew.

In 2007, the band recorded three new songs under the Black Sabbath name for the compilation album ''[[Black Sabbath: The Dio Years]]''.

In 2008, the band completed a 98-date world tour. The band released one album under the Heaven & Hell name, ''[[The Devil You Know (Heaven & Hell album)|The Devil You Know]]'', to critical and commercial acclaim. They also had planned to release a follow-up in 2010.
