In der Rockmusikszene trat Gillen hauptsächlich gegen Ende der 1980er Jahre in Erscheinung, nachdem Tony Iommi in ihm einen würdigen Nachfolger des Sängers Glenn Hughes sah, und dem indianisch-stämmigen US-Amerikaner das Angebot machte, bei Black Sabbath fest einzusteigen. Gillen died from an AIDS-related disease in a New York Hospital on December 1, 1993. And he did tell Atlantic Records that. He was ranked at 100 on Hit Parader's Top 100 Metal Vocalists. Although guitarist Tony Iommi was the only remaining original member of Sabbath at the time, they toured arenas around the world, as Gillen lent his vocal talents to Sabbath's 1987 release, The Eternal Idol.

Also, in an interview Martin revealed that the sinister laugh heard on the track Nightmare is in fact Gillen's voice. He played the New Jersey club circuit with various bands, including club bands Quest (1978–80), the punk rock influenced F-66 (1980–81), Savatage, and, most notably, Vendetta and Harlette.

Artist Biography by Greg Prato Although vocalist Ray Gillen first hit the music scene via heavy metal legends Black Sabbath, he was more of a blues-rock singer (à la Robert Plant, Paul Rodgers, Steve Marriott), as evidenced by his work with Badlands. Ray Gillen (* 12. Gillen sang demos but parted company when Sykes decided to handle vocals himself. In the wake of Badlands' breakup, Gillen appeared on albums by Atsushi Yokozeki (Raid) and ex-Dokken guitar shredder George Lynch (Sacred Groove), before forming the short-lived Los Angeles-based band Tariff. In 1986, Black Sabbath started touring for the Seventh Star album when after only a few shows, singer Glenn Hughes got into a fist-fight and lost his voice due to the related sinus and throat injuries. Ray Gillen (* 12.Mai 1959 in New York City, New York; † 1. Instead of following in the footsteps of their heavy metal past, Badlands were more classic rock/blues-rock-based, returning back to the sound that served as their original inspiration. He recorded 4 tracks. He first showed symptoms of the disease around 1990, and according to his Badlands bandmate Jake E. Lee, "in between the first and the second record, he started getting really thin and didn't look quite as healthy". In 1993, Wilfried F. Rimensberger was planning a remake of his first Metal Hammer Loreley Festival but this time specifically to stage Phenomena's first ever live performance, with Gillen on vocals. But before the outfit could issue any recordings, Gillen accepted an offer to join Black Sabbath in late 1986 (strangely, he was also offered the lead role in the popular Broadway musical Cats at the same time). The album was re-released on November 1, 2010, in Europe in a 2-disc expanded set including a bonus disc with Gillen's recording.
