DIO - The Very Beast Of Dio

DIO - The Very Beast Of Dio





On October 9th, a second volume of DIO's best tracks was unleashed via
Niji Entertainment - The Very Beast Of Dio Vol. 2 - a follow-up to the
gold-certified The Very Beast Of Dio. The album has debuted at #192
Billboard Top 200 Current Albums, #19 on the Hard Music Charts, #13 on
the Hard Music Core Stores Charts, #51 on the Indie Charts, and #75 on
the Indie Store Charts.






The collection is streaming in its entirety at this location.


The 17-track CD picks up exactly where the first volume left off -
from 1996 onward. And in addition to featuring such latter-day Dio
classics as 'Killing The Dragon', 'Push', and 'Fever Dreams', the
compilation will also include several rarities that fans have long
requested on a single disc - 'Electra' (which previously was only a part
of the ultra-rare Tournado box set), 'Prisoner Of Paradise', and 'Metal
Will Never Die'.


Also included as part of the release is liner notes penned by
long-time supporter and friend of Ronnie's, Eddie Trunk from That Metal
Show, as well as an awesome front cover painting by artist Marc Sasso
(who previously created the covers for Dio's Killing The Dragon and
Master Of The Moon albums).


The tracklist is as follows:



'Killing the Dragon'

'Push'

'The Eyes'

'Along Comes A Spider'

'Better in the Dark'

'Fever Dreams'

'Black'

'Feed My Head'

'Shivers'
