    About this album

    Rainbow Rising is Rainbow at full force, a landmark 1976 hard rock album that helped define heavy metal’s early vocabulary. Recorded by Ritchie Blackmore’s post-Deep Purple line-up with Ronnie James Dio on vocals, the record pairs virtuosic guitar work with fantasy-driven lyrics and an unusually grand scale for the genre. Tracks such as Stargazer and A Light in the Black became enduring signatures, showing off the band’s mix of theatricality, precision and heavy riffing. Widely regarded as one of Rainbow’s strongest albums, it remains a key statement from the formative years of hard rock and heavy metal.
