No one can argue that Ronnie James Dio (RIP) is the most respected, beloved and simply the best heavy metal vocalist in history!
After been through legendary Black Sabbath and Rainbow, he created his own legend, the DIO and its first album "Holy Diver" in 1983. "Holy Diver" showed what Ronnie is capable of and listeners can feel his medieval-like powerful voice and sound all over. Needless to say, this is considered to be one of the best metal albums ever!
The first song "Stand Up And Shout" emits traditional powerful metal sound supported by heavy guitar riff, strong bass and drums.
One of the best songs from the album "Holy Diver" is a heavy mid-tempo song that gives listeners a cold chill on the neck.
Starting with chiming acoustic guitar sound then transforming into fierce beast like electric guitar riff, "Don't Talk To Stranger" is just a song in an art form. Vivian Campbell's guitar solo is right on the money.
The track "Straight Through The Heart," "Invisible" and "Shame On The Night" will pound your heart with iron while you are listening.
Then there is famous and classic "Rainbow In The Dark." I don't think I need to explain about this song.
Every song in this album deserves a standing ovation. PERIOD.
Ladies and gentlemen, buy this album. This is the album that deserves a prime spot on your CD rack, if not on your wall. I strongly recommend this album!
Now, I'll give my body and soul to whomever bring Dio back from Hell!
RIP Dio! We miss you so much...
