Today, in 1983, DIO released their classic album 'Holy Diver'. Not only is this record considered one of the greatest album of all time, but it changed our music forever thanks to Ronnie James Dio's excellent delivery of vocals. After that, every singer out there was forced to step their game up.
The album was originally released on May 25th, 1983 and contained some of the greatest Dio songs ever written, including "Rainbow In The Dark," "Holy Diver, "Stand Up And Shout" and many more amazing Dio classics! Listen to it here:
On this day, twenty four years ago, METALLICA released their epic album '...And Justice for All'. The bands fourth studio album was released on August 25, 1988 via Elektra Records. It was the group's first full studio album to feature bassist Jason Newsted, following the death of Cliff Burton in 1986. '...And Justice for All' was certified 8x platinum by the RIAA on June 9, 2003.
The front cover depicts the statue of Lady Justice cracked, bound by ropes, her breasts exposed, and both of her scales filled with dollars. The words "…And Justice for All" are written in graffiti-like lettering to the right. The cover art was created by Stephen Gorman, based on a concept developed by James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich. '...And Justice for All' was Metallica's final collaboration with longtime producer Flemming Rasmussen. The album was initially released on one vinyl disc, but soon after re-released (without additional tracks) as a double-album.
Track-listing:
1. "Blackened"
2. "...And Justice for All"
3. "Eye of the Beholder"
4. "One"
5. "The Shortest Straw"
6. "Harvester of Sorrow"
7. "The Frayed Ends of Sanity"
8. "To Live Is to Die"
9. "Dyers Eve"

As previously reported, METALLICA will be releasing a 3D movie next
summer! And guess what! You can be in the first-ever Metalli-3D! Here is
the bands official statement:
"You may have heard us
mention just once or twice (or 700 times!) that a Metalli-3D movie is in
the works... we now need your help to finish filming it!! This Monday,
August 27, we will be shooting what we hope will be the final live
portion of the movie and have our last chance for quite some time to
play on the gigantic, massive over-the-top stage that we rolled out in
Mexico City, took to Edmonton and end our film excursion/mini tour with
in Vancouver. As we have been saying a lot recently we would love to
have you join us and be a part of our movie making adventure.
"Here's
how it works: We will be running though the full live show one last
time at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, but unlike the Friday and Saturday
shows there will be lots of breaks in it to allow for cameras and lights
to be repositioned as the director sees fit. Since it is way more fun
for us to have YOU there, tickets will be available for just $5 (no
extra fees or service charges!) and all the proceeds will benefit the
Greater Vancouver Food Bank.

NOW for more details about a special pre-sale starting later today.
Finally, tickets will be available to the general public Sunday, August
26 at 9:00 AM. There will be no floor tickets for sale (too many
cameras!) and there is a four ticket per person limit. Lower bowl
tickets will be assigned a section, but are G.A. within that section.
"Doors
open at 5:00 PM for this "show," and we hit the stage at 6:30 PM
sharp... we're starting a little early to allow the movie people to do
what they do. So please come and plan to stay for a full night of fun
and games... and who knows, maybe we'll see you on the big screen next
summer!"
