'Breaking Out Of Heaven 2007-2009' showcases the complete 'Live From Radio City Music Hall' performance on vinyl for the first time, along with eight tracks making their vinyl debut. The Blu-ray adds even more value with videos from 'Live From Radio City Music Hall' and 'Neon Nights: 30 Years Of Heaven & Hell - Live At Wacken', plus insightful band interviews.
And this is the part most people miss... the track listings! We've got a detailed breakdown of the 4CD and 7LP sets, each disc and side packed with iconic songs. From 'The Devil You Know' to 'Neon Knights', every track is a journey through heavy metal history.
The Blu-ray also includes a range of extras, such as the 'Heaven And Hell Road Movie', 'Hail The Gods Of Metal', and interviews with the band members themselves.
