Raw Power Beast
The Rules of Hell box set is great because it has the Sabbath albums with Ronnie James Dio fronting the band. Dio took the worn out Black Sabbath machine then ramped up the speed, percussion & aggression. This was not your Ozzy acid/heavy rock machine that ground to a halt in 1979, this was a whole new raw power of a beast that wasn't well received at first but when the leather lungs of Dio merged with the new sonic thunder...it won over the most die hard critic's.
Unfortunatly the excesses of the 1970's carried over into the 1980's it was a bad omen of things to come. The excesses & personality clashes soon destroyed what was potentially the vangaurd of Heavy Metal. What could have been can only be speculated but I'm sure it would have been interesting.
Dio did come out with a bonified classic of his own in 1983, Holy Diver. Last in Line & Sacred Heart followed in succession, also classics in the realm of Metal.
We lost one of the greatest voices in Metal when Ronnie James Dio passed on May 16th 2010. Legends never die, they only grow stronger in time. R.I.P. :RJ Dio.
