Ronnie James Dio's 1983 debut solo album Holy Diver stands as one of heavy metal's most iconic records, showcasing his thunderous vocals alongside razor-sharp riffs and a dramatic, larger-than-life sound that helped define the genre. Released to mark what would have been Dio's 80th birthday, this 2022 edition features a full remix of the album by acclaimed producer Joe Barresi — known for his work with Tool, Queens of the Stone Age, and Slipknot — working directly from the original analog tapes.
Barresi's remix brings a punchy, modern clarity to classic tracks while staying true to the album's original spirit, offering both longtime fans and new listeners a fresh way to experience this landmark record. The gatefold packaging features newly commissioned artwork along with an etching that pays homage to the original cover, and the release includes the bonus track "Evil Eyes" — making it a meaningful addition to any serious rock or metal collection.
