May 25th, 1983.

After fronting Rainbow and Black Sabbath during the 70’s and early 80’s, it was time for RONNIE JAMES DIO to assemble his own band of genius musicians to forge and unleash upon the world one of the greatest debut albums in all of metal (if not in all of existence): the seminal masterpiece known throughout the metal realm as HOLY DIVER.

It’s the end of the year. Time to raise your T-Rex arms and lift your swords (if you’re able), begin “rubbing the top” and prepare to be “totally stretched out” (yeah, it’s about to get super weird!) as you JOIN US for the Metal Nerdery Podcast New Year’s Eve Eve celebration (from deep within our luxurious, 33rd Floor I.U.B.P. Studios) as we dive into DIO’s HOLY DIVER.
