Newly remastered deluxe editions of a selection of Dio (opens in new tab)’s studio albums will be released in 2020.
The Studio Collection: 1996-2004 brings together 1996’s Angry Machines, 2000’s Magica, 2002’s Killing The Dragon and 2004’s Master Of The Moon, with all four featuring previously unreleased material.
Longtime Dio collaborator Wyn Davis has remastered all four releases, with each featuring updated artwork by designer Marc Sasso. All will launch on February 21 through BMG.
To mark the announcement, four Dio tracks have been released on streaming platforms: Man On The Silver Mountain (opens in new tab) which was recorded on the Angry Machines tour, Lord Of The Last Day (opens in new tab) which was captured on the road as Dio toured in support of Magica, Holy Diver (opens in new tab) from the Killing The Dragon tour, and Heaven And Hell (opens in new tab) which was recorded live on the Master Of The Moon tour.
Ronnie James Dio (opens in new tab)’s widow Wendy says: “I am very excited to be working with BMG, a label that still has a passion for rock music. They will be making the complete Dio catalogue available again with some interesting surprises.”
