Ronnie James Dio would have turned 80 years old on July 10. Among the greatest heavy metal singers of all time, Dio’s career spanned five decades, touched millions of fans and pioneered his signature “devil’s 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.
At the time, Holy Diver was a platinum-certified smash and one of the late singer-songwriter’s most groundbreaking achievements. This 2022 edition of the album features a newly remastered version of the original 1983 mix!
