DIO's Holy Diver Getting Deluxe Reissue With Unreleased Live Album & Outtakes

Dio's classic 1983 album Holy Diver is getting a deluxe reissue with quite a few goodies! The CD and digital versions of the reissue will include a newly-remixed version of the album by Joe Barresi (Tool, Slipknot, etc.), a remaster of the original mix, a never-before-heard live album at the Selland Arena in Fresno, CA in 1983, and then a handful of outtakes and B-sides. The vinyl version will be just the Barresi mix and "Evil Eyes," a B-side to the original "Holy Diver" single.

The reissue comes out on July 8. Holy Diver was Ronnie James Dio's first solo effort after leaving Black Sabbath in 1982 and featured guitarist Vivian Campbell, bassist Jimmy Bain, and drummer Vinny Appice. Holy Diver has since been awarded the 2× Platinum status by the Recording Industry Association of America for selling over 2 million copies over the years.
