Dio’s Holy Diver is the band’s 1983 debut album, recorded after Ronnie James Dio’s departure from Black Sabbath. Built around Dio’s commanding vocals and Vivian Campbell’s guitar work, the record delivers a powerful combination of traditional heavy metal, memorable riffs and dramatic songwriting. Highlights include “Holy Diver,” “Stand Up and Shout,” “Rainbow in the Dark” and “Don’t Talk to Strangers.”
