Niji Management Inc. recently issued the following report on Dio Disciples:

“There’s No Sign Of The Morning Coming, You’ve Been Left On Your Own, Like A Rainbow In The Dark”- RONNIE JAMES DIO

There will never be another Ronnie James Dio but we wanted to keep his music alive!

Dio Disciples are:

Simon Wright (AC/DC, DIO, UFO, MSG, RHINO BUCKET) has played drums in Dio since 1990’s Lock Up The Wolves album.

On guitar is longtime Dio member Craig Goldy (ROUGH CUTT, GIUFFRIA, DAVID LEE ROTH, Dio) who made his Dio debut on 1985’s Sacred Heart album.

On keyboards is 15 year Dio and HEAVEN & HELL veteran Scott Warren. Scott made his Dio debut on 1996’s Angry Machines album.

On bass is the multi-talented James LoMenzo (MEGADETH, BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, SLASH'S SNAKEPIT, HAIL!, WHITE LION, David Lee Roth).

On vocals is Tim 'Ripper' Owens (ex-JUDAS PRIEST, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, BEYOND FEAR, ICED EARTH, Hail!, CHARRED WALLS OF THE DAMNED)

Joining “Ripper” on vocals from Manchester, UK is Toby Jepson (LITTLE ANGELS, FASTWAY, GUN, TOBY AND THE WHOLE TRUTH).

Because of Rudy Sarzo’s commitment to BLUE ÖYSTER CULT, James LoMenzo will join the band for their European dates until Rudy fulfills his commitment to B.O.C.

We hope that you will support the band and become a Dio Disciple!

Stay tuned for further updates, including tour dates.
