Neon Knights


"Neon Knights" is a heavy metal track by Black Sabbath, released in 1980 as the opening song on Heaven and Hell. It marked the debut of vocalist Ronnie James Dio with the band, signaling a new era in their sound. For electric guitarists, the song offers a strong introduction to Tony Iommi's riff-driven style, combining driving rhythm work with melodic lead guitar passages rooted in classic heavy metal technique.

  • "Neon Knights" was the first Black Sabbath single recorded with Ronnie James Dio replacing original vocalist Ozzy Osbourne.
  • Tony Iommi's guitar work on the track blends fast, rhythmic riffing with melodic lead lines — a useful study in heavy metal phrasing.
  • The song appears on Heaven and Hell, released in 1980, which is widely regarded as one of Black Sabbath's strongest albums.
