aREDSKIN Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Reportedly, here's the last recording(s) by Dio. TMD shares one of the last known studio recordings by late vocalist Ronnie James Dio. The legend may have passed away but his music lives on forever. The new DIO track “Elektra”, like the artist, is an instant classic. The unreleased track was slated to appear on “Magica II and III”. The track was reportedly recorded before his stomach cancer had been diagnosed. Dio produced the first Magica concept album, based on The Book of Magica. The album was originally intended to be the first part of a trilogy of concept albums, and shortly before starting his (final) tour with Heaven and Hell, Dio announced that he planned to start Magica 2 and 3 after the tour’s end. As we all now know, Ronnie James Dio died shortly after of stomach cancer on May 16th, 2010. Said Dio: “Magica is the saga of Blessing, a netherworld invaded by dark forces that vaporise people into pure, evil energy. The planet’s saviours are master, apprentice heroes Eriel and Challis, who must recite a spell from the sacred book of Magica to defeat their foe, Shadowcast. The album is written from the villain’s viewpoint.” “I took on the evil perspective because I’ve always written from the anti-perspective. Most people don’t think in those terms so you are freer to create. I left the ending ambivalent because evil always exists, good doesn’t always triumph and that’s the universal balance.” “Sure the players in the great halls of metaldom can take themselves too seriously while singing like a cat being strangled or someone gargling alphabet soup. Sure they can posture and prance while redefining epic into a comic strip. But it’s worth bearing in mind AC/DC’s pithy pearl: “Rock and roll ain’t noise pollution”.

aszumilo Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 These Westboro people have no sense of decency whatsoever. http://www.metalunderground.com/news/details.cfm?newsid=56079 Westboro Baptist Church Plans To Picket Ronnie James Dio Memorial Service posted May 21, 2010 at 2:44 AM by Diamond Oz. (81 Comments) Photo of Dio Band Photo: Dio The recent announcement that there would be a public memorial service for the late heavy metal icon Ronnie James Dio was one that fans all over the world were extremely happy about, as it is a great way to remember a greater man. However, the memorial could be spoiled by the Westboro Baptist Church who has announced that they plan to picket the event, as people like Ronnie James Dio (i.e. people with intelligence) apparantly are Satanic. They claim the protest is "to remind you who worship that old Serpent, Satan, that your time is very short. You know 67 year old, Satan-worshiping (or at least one of their enablers) Ronnie James Dio (of showing his devil horns to the world each time he goes in public) Black Sabbath fame is dead, right? We'll be there! Just because the chances of any of God's elect being amongst this group of heavy metal sycophants is slim to none does not mean they should not get some good words. "He hates his neighbor(s) starting with Ozzy Osbourne, and continuing down to his pornography star niece Gen Padova! "He hates God. Pay especial attention to the fact that he changed his original sir name from Padova to Dio, which means God in Italian. "Ronnie the simpleton enabled, and encouraged Sorceries: everything he was about including the little finger horn thing (he got this from his mother which is an incantation to ward off the 'evil eye') to the drugs, bloody raw meat and his fellowship with those pentagon necklace wearing freakish band members." The memorial is scheduled to take place at The Hall Of Liberty in Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills, 6300 Forest Lawn Drive, Los Angeles, CA at two in the afternoon on May 30th.

Mickalino Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I am pretty positive none of you had any idea about this, but your heavy metal wild man Dio was actually a Gospel singer at heart. -aXkTQEa9NQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
