The Last in Line

Dio

Released

From New Testament cover art on his debut to Old Testament here, Ronnie James Dio’s first couple solo efforts provided the holy text for the metal religion. The sheer variety of songs on album number two make the perfect showcase for the diminutive singer’s huge voice. From straight-ahead crowdpleaser “We Rock” to enigmatic ending epic “Egypt (the Chains Are On),” along with the amazing fake-out in the title track, The Last in Line stands at the forefront of the genre.
