Dio – Holy Diver (CD)
CD-ul “Holy Diver” este albumul de debut solo al legendarului vocalist Ronnie James Dio, lansat pe 25 mai 1983. Acest album este considerat unul dintre cele mai mari clasice ale heavy metal-ului, definind stilul și sunetul acestui gen în anii ’80.
Albumul este o combinație perfectă de riff-uri de chitară memorabile, pasaje epice și vocea distinctivă și puternică a lui Ronnie James Dio. Piese precum “Holy Diver”, “Rainbow in the Dark” și “Stand Up and Shout” au devenit imnuri ale heavy metal-ului, fiind recunoscute pentru energia lor și pentru temele fantastice din versuri. Muzica este amplificată de prestațiile impresionante ale lui Vivian Campbell la chitară, Jimmy Bain la bas și Vinny Appice la tobe, care completează perfect viziunea artistică a lui Dio.
