Heaven and Hell
Sabbath album, 1980
Heaven and Hell is the opposing pair of afterlife destinations in Christian theology and related traditions—the blessed realm of God versus the place of eternal punishment.
The phrase often appears as a single unit suggesting ultimate stakes or complete moral opposition: It was a heaven and hell situation.
The band Black Sabbath released an influential album by this name in 1980.
