DIO's "Finding The Sacred Heart - Live In Philly 1986" To Be Released Soon!

Ronnie James Dio made sure to always leave a lasting impression anytime he stepped on stage. To say that the Heavy Music world misses DIO is an understatement, but thankfully Niji Entertainment and Eagle Rock Entertainment are making sure that his legacy is always represented on a global scale.

This is why on May 28, 2013 they will be unleashing "Finding The Sacred Heart - Live In Philly 1986". This historic concert was recorded at The Spectrum in Philadelphia on June 17, 1986 during the second leg of the “Sacred Heart” tour, which featured NEW guitarist Craig Goldy. The show was issued in an edited form first on VHS and then DVD. Now for the first time, the full concert is being released as a double LP in the original running order and with remastered sound. It’s an extraordinary live show with a giant animatronic dragon towering over the stage and spectacular laers and pyrotechnics.

The DVD and Blu-ray versions offer fully restored film footage of the complete concert available for the first time. The audio on the 2CD and double LP is fully remastered.

The show features the Dio classics “Holy Diver,” “Don’t Talk To Strangers,” “Rock ‘n’ Roll Children,” “Sacred Heart,” “Stand Up And Shout,” “Rainbow In The Dark,” and “We Rock” plus other classic tracks from Ronnie James Dio’s career including “Heaven And Hell,” “Long Live Rock ‘n’ Roll,” and “Man On The Silver Mountain”.

Bonus Features [on DVD and Blu-ray] include a "Sacred Heart Tour" featurette, an interview from ’86 and a separate interview with Ronnie & Craig, as well as the “Rock ‘n’ Roll Children” music video and a Behind The Scenes feature.

Ronnie James Dio and the band deliver a blistering live performance featuring tracks from their first three albums alongside Black Sabbath and Rainbow classics. For those who never got to experience the powerful vocals and mammoth stage prowess of Ronnie James Dio before his passing in 2010, this is the perfect opportunity to view this legendary icon in all his glory.

So Is The Tongue Unleash NEW Track & Release Album Details For 'A Child Of Divorce'!

As New Jersey-based experimental Rock outfit So Is The Tongue are preparing to release their sophomore LP, 'A Child Of Divorce', this week indie imprint Nefarious Industries have posted a stream of the fourth track from the album.

Either Way - So is the Tongue by Nefarious Industries

Bearing seven tracks containing over forty-three minutes of material, 'A Child Of Divorce' was executed utilizing the talents of some of So Is The Tongue's close friends and associates; the instrumental tracks recorded at The Thousand Caves by Colin Marston (Gorguts, Krallice), the vocals recorded by Chris Alfano (East of the Wall) and the artwork completed by Nick Shellenberger (Cleric). 'A Child Of Divorce' will be released on 180-gram LP format -- limited to 300 copies -- and deluxe digital download on January 17th, 2012, via Nefarious Industries, a tight-knit indie label recently formed by several friends who perform in So Is The Tongue, East Of The Wall, El Drugstore and more.

The band have also updated their upcoming live schedule with more January shows confirmed, including a four-date run comprised of all Nefarious Industries bands including A Fucking Elephant, El Drugstore and the DRX in addition to So Is The Tongue. More dates are being confirmed for the coming weeks as well.

So Is The Tongue's emotional Rock transcends from its convoluted jazz, folk, progressive Metal, post-rock and other diversified origins into surreal and ultimately unique movements. Melodic vocals build into enraged outbursts, clean and distorted guitar riffs and rolling bass scales toil with blistering drumrolls, all converging into diverse and beautiful infectious flows, drawing the listener in like an engulfing sinkhole disguised as a tranquil footpath.

'A Child Of Divorce' Track Listing:

1. Pt. I
2. Conflicting Stories
3. Pt. II
4. Either Way
5. People Don't Forget
6. Pt. III
