Ronnie James Dio’s ‘Beast of Dio Vol 2’ reissue detailed

The long-out-of-print project includes Dio’s last recorded track

Originally released in 2012, The Very Beast of Dio Vol. 2 is a compilation of classic tracks from Dio’s seventh to tenth albums — Angry Machines (1996), Magica (2000), Killing The Dragon (2002), and final studio album Master Of The Moon (2004). It’s a carefully curated follow-up to The Very Beast of Dio Vol. 1, which included tracks from Dio’s first six albums.

Featuring liner notes from Eddie Trunk, a famous radio host and longtime friend of Ronnie, the album also contains the last track ever recorded by Ronnie, “Metal Will Never Die,” which he performed with his cousin David ‘Rock’ Feinstein.

Includes later period Dio classics like “Push,” “The Eyes,” “Fever Dreams,” and two scarce tracks, “Electra” (intended for the never-completed Magic II) and “Prisoner Of Paradise” (from the Japanese edition of Master Of The Moon).

Out of print for nearly ten years, The Very Beast Of Dio Vol. 2 will be available on January 31st on limited edition dragon’s fire 2 LP and CD.
