NEWS: DIO DISCIPLES ANNOUNCE ADDITIONAL U.S. TOUR DATES IN SUPPORT OF 'THE VERY BEAST OF DIO VOL. 2'

August 09, 2013  •  Leave a Comment
With the recent release of the 2-CD Deluxe Edition of "Magica" and 'The Very Beast of Dio Vol. 2,' the all-star group, Dio Disciples, couldn't have picked a better time to launch their next set of tour dates. 
 
For the September engagements, Dio Disciples is comprised of singer Tim "Ripper" Owens (Judas Priest), guitarist Craig Goldy (Dio), bassist Bjorn Englen (Yngwie Malmsteen), keyboardist Scott Warren (Dio,Heaven & Hell), and drummer Simon Wright (Dio, AC/DC, UFO). The group touches upon almost every era of Dio's stellar career, as you can expect to hear faithful and heavy renditions of all the Ronnie James Dio classics, including "Man on the Silver Mountain," "Neon Knights," "Heaven and Hell," "Holy Diver," "Rainbow in the Dark," and "The Last in Line," among countless others.  
 
Dio Disciples has issued the following statement: "We could NEVER replace Ronnie and that is not our intention - there will ever only be one RJD. Dio Disciples is a celebration of the music and legacy of the greatest singer in the world, Ronnie James Dio."  
 
The 17-track 'The Very Beast of Dio Vol. 2' CD (released via Niji Entertainment) 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."  
 
It has been over three years since the legendary Ronnie James Dio passed away after a battle with cancer. But his music continues to live on - as heard by the 'The Very Beast of Dio Vol. 2' and Dio Disciples tour dates.

9/12/13 Detroit, MI, Diesel Concert Lounge
9/13/13 Chicago, IL, Tailgaters
