Formed around the duo Ronnie James Dio (singer for Butterfly Ball, Rainbow, Black Sabbath…) and Vinny Appice (drummer for Black Sabbath…), Dio would have a lasting impact on the international Metal scene.
It was in 1982 that the two companions unleashed their fury in what would remain one of the greatest Hard Rock bands in history, alongside Motörhead, Iron Maiden, and AC/DC. Ronnie James Dio's virtuoso voice would become the banner of a classy and powerful Heavy Metal and make the band one of its cornerstones.
Holy Diver (1983): This debut album established Dio's sound, and the first two singles, 'Rainbow In The Dark' and 'Holy Diver', would make this album a true commercial and critical success. Relive this classic on 180-gram vinyl and reconnect with the golden age of high-flying Heavy Metal.
The Last In Line: Dio's last album with Vivian Campbell on guitar. Released in 1984, it incorporated keyboardist Claude Schnell. Once again, Dio recorded a real commercial hit, and 'The Last In Line' would be certified Diamond. Find the hits 'We Rock' and 'The Last In Line' in this 180-gram vinyl edition.
Lock Up The Wolves: The band's 5th album. This one was released in 1990 and followed the excellent 'Dream Evil'. Fans will not be disappointed with this opus, even though it lacks the other member of the original duo, Vinny Appice. Find the hits 'Hey Angel' and 'Lock Up The Wolves' on this double 180-gram vinyl reissue.
Strange Highways: A real facelift for the band. 'Strange Highways' saw the arrival of new musicians such as guitarist Tracy G, keyboardist Scott Warren, and bassist Jeff Pilson. This new lineup allowed Ronnie James Dio to modernize his compositions and remain credible in the eyes of his new fans. Find the band's sixth album in a double 180-gram vinyl edition.
