Ronnie James Dio would have turned 80 years old on July 10. Among the greatest heavy metal singers of all time, Dios career spanned five decades, touched millions of fans and pioneered his signature devils horns, one of the most popular hand gestures in the world. Dio also provided vocals and lyrics for some of the most iconic rock albums of all time with Black Sabbath and Rainbow, before establishing his own band Dio as a metal force with their 1983 debut Holy Diver.
HOLY DIVER was a platinum-certified smash and one of the late singer-songwriters most groundbreaking achievements. Rhino revisits this epic metal moment with a 2LP mixed by Joe Barresi (Tool, Queens of the Stone Age, Slipknot). It includes the original nine tracks, plus the 1983 B-side version of Evil Eyes as a bonus track. Side four is decorated with an etching of the legendary demon Murry that graces the albums iconic cover. The vinyl is kept in a gatefold sleeve that shows off newly commissioned artwork by longtime Dio artist, Marc Sasso.
