The diminutive Ronnie James Dio passed away in 2010, but his timeless tonsils live on.
Featuring the likes of Metallica, The Scorpions, Anthrax and Killswitch Engage, it's some of the more obscure collaborations that really nail Dio's essence.
If you've never discovered Dio's mesmerising voice, this is well worth the effort, even if it's only to hear Jack Black giving it all on The Last in Line or Metallica cracking through a nine-minute medley of Rainbow classics.
