  • Tracklist
  • There are not many singers who can claim to be featured on a classic album. Ronnie James Dio achieved this at the latest when he made the fans happy with Holy Diver in 1983! The classic from 1983 has now been completely remastered and also includes a new interview with Ronnie James Dio, which was conducted by Paul Suter in July of this year in Ronnie's home studio.

    Holy Diver was critically acclaimed and a commercial success. "Rainbow In The Dark" and the title track added two timeless classics to the canon of heavy metal. The album also ranks #16 on Rolling Stone's current list of the "100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time."

    Reviews

    "With his debut ,,Holy Diver" ex-Rainbow singer Ronnie James Dio had delivered in 1983 not only one of the best albums of his career, but a groundbreaking album for the whole genre." (Audio, October 2012)

    , "This dark and furiously pounding behemoth of an album, with guitarist Vivian Campbell's melodic solos, Vinnie Appice's pressing drum parts and Dio's inimitable vocals, is heavy metal at its purest." (stereoplay, October 2012)

    Dio released ten studio albums under the direction of Ronnie James Dio until his death in 2010, selling over 20 million copies worldwide. Now all seven of the band's Mercury albums reappear on vinyl, mastered by Andy Pearce and featuring the original artwork.
    For the first time, "Lock Up The Wolves" and "Strange Highways" will be released in double vinyl formats to improve sound quality.
    "Holy Diver", "The Last In Line", "Sacred Heart", "Intermission" and "Dream Evil" will be released as 1LP, "Lock Up The Wolves" and "Strange Highways" will be released as 2LP.
