Background information about 'Holy Diver (Remastered)'

The voice that launched a thousand metal dreams returns in pristine glory! Dio's debut solo masterpiece "Holy Diver" stands as one of heavy metal's most revered monuments, and this 2020 remaster breathes new fire into Ronnie James Dio's legendary vocals and Tony Iommi-approved riffage. From the thunderous opening salvo of "Stand Up And Shout" to the spine-tingling majesty of the title track, this album captures the essence of what made Dio the undisputed king of fantasy metal.

The production sparkles with renewed clarity, allowing every nuance of Vivian Campbell's scorching guitar work and Jimmy Bain's thunderous bass lines to shine through. Tracks like "Rainbow In The Dark" and "Don't Talk To Strangers" showcase Dio's unparalleled ability to weave tales of medieval mysticism with crushing metal anthems. The remaster preserves the album's original warmth while enhancing the dynamic range, making this essential listening for both longtime devotees and newcomers to the Dio legacy.
