(2 Customer Reviews)
Multi-instrumentalist and heavy-metal mainstay Ronnie James Dio has built up a hefty back catalog over three decades, with a career that spans vocalizing for Rainbow, Black Sabbath, and his own group, Dio. This best-of, which covers the Dio years exclusively, spans the period between 1983's HOLY DIVER album and 1990's LOCK UP THE WOLVES, and is packed with the kind of high-octane performances Dio fans have come to treasure. Neo-Gothic masterpieces like "Sunset Superman" and "Dream Evil" share space with the metal mysticism of "Last in Line," while Dio's hell's-gate scream holds sway over all.

Metal Hits album
$15.55 When American metal survivors Iced Earth departed their lifelong record label, Century Media, in 2002, they unconsciously (or perhaps consciously) put the finishing touches on an important chapter, not only in their career, but also in the American heavy metal scene's slow but inexorable climb back from shameful early-'90s disgrace to renewed prominence in the new millennium. This challenging climb -- as the band's first "true" greatest-hits set, 2004's The Blessed and the Damned, is adamant to point out -- is clearly reflected in the 23 tracks chosen to represent Iced Earth's hard-fought, 15-year trajectory thus far; and since they've never been ones to do anything half-arsed, the band spared no expense ensuring this pretty much watertight song selection would come backed by a beautifully lavish packaging job -- including extensive liner notes spiced with commentary from band founder and ...

Metal Hits CD music
$12.25 Following up 2000's cast-of-thousands album IOMMI, Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi resurrected his solo project for 2005's FUSED. Session-drummer extraordinaire Kenny Aronoff and bassist/keyboardist Bob Marlette are once again on board, with former Deep Purple member Glenn Hughes joining in on vocals and bass. Given Hughes's ...
| | Icarus Witch Capture The Magic CD (2005)
Metal Hits music CDs
$11.65 At a time when it's become increasingly difficult to discern the small but important differences between power and classic heavy metal, Icarus Witch make it easy by forgoing the "power" element outright. This, as it turns out, is both their greatest strength and weakness, as it immediately conjures up welcome memories of old-school American metal legends like Manilla Road and Virgin Steele, while robbing some songs of the "authority" that a little more volume and distortion might have brought them. The disparity between either reaction may really come down to a straight-up generation gap or a small mental adjustment (a little time travel, if you will) on the listener's part, since the band itself is clearly intentionally committed to their vintage approach, and the songs that follow quickly support this decision with ...

| | Pink Floyd Oh By The Way Box Set CDs (2007) Box Set
Metal Hits album
$231.35 The mammoth 16-disc box set OH BY THE WAY was released to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Pink Floyd's first album. It contains every one of Floyd's studio albums, each packaged in a miniature-LP-style sleeve. It's the most exhaustive overview one could ask for, chronicling the band's beginnings as pioneering psychedelic scenemakers through their '70s tenure as prog-rock merchants and their latter-day reincarnation as grand old men of British rock.
While rarities-seekers should be advised of the lack of bonus/previously unreleased tracks here, there's so much dazzling material that it doesn't really matter. Pink Floyd were the original psychedelic space cadets, and the thrill of their early acid-rock forays under Syd Barrett's baton is all the ...

| | Anthrax Universal Masters Collection CD (2002) (Import) Sweden
Metal Hits songs
$9.39 Just about every major label began issuing budget-priced sets of its catalog artists come the early 21st century, such as the Universal Masters Collection, which inherited the back catalog of former Island recording artist Anthrax. Issued in early 2002, the 15-track Anthrax edition of Universal Masters Collection focuses solely on the group's recordings with singer Joey Belladonna (1985 through 1991), which means that the front cover image is a quite misleading botch job (Belladonna's replacement, John Bush, is featured in the group shot). Despite the error, the set comes pretty darn close to being among the best Anthrax ...
