NotesDigitally re-mastered and expanded deluxe two CD edition of this 1983 album from the Metal maestro including bonus live recordings and b-sides plus an expanded booklet with notes by Malcolm Dome. Despite recording two hit studio albums with Black Sabbath and playing throughout the world to huge crowds, Ronnie James Dio left the band in 1982 and began to put together his first solo project. Dio's band debut, Holy Diver, was issued in 1983. The album quickly became a favorite among head bangers worldwide and eventually earned the group platinum certification. The somewhat upbeat sounding "Rainbow in the Dark" was an MTV favorite, while the title track proved to be another standout. Other album highlights include the opening anthem "Stand Up and Shout," "Invisible," and "Don't Talk to Strangers." Holy DIver proved that Dio's departure from Black Sabbath had not affected his spirits. In fact, he sounds most inspired here, aided by his new, hungry backing band. Universal.
