Vocalist TIM "RIPPER" OWENS (YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, ex-JUDAS PRIEST) has annoounced a special acoustic show for October 14th in Akron, OH at the Ripper Owens Tap House. It will begin at 6:00pm. Go to this location for more information.

DIO DISCIPLES - featuring RONNIE JAMES DIO (BLACK SABBATH, DIO, HEAVEN & HELL, RAINBOW, ELF) alumni Simon Wright (drums), Craig Goldy (guitar) and Scott Warren (keyboards), along with bassist Bjorn Anglund (YNGWIE MALMSTEEN) and vocalists Tim "Ripper" Owens and Oni Logan (LYNCH MOB) – have announced more US tour dates in support of The Very Beast Of Dio Vol. 2.

Dio Disciples has issued the following statement: "We could NEVER replace Ronnie and that is not our intention - there will ever only be one RJD. Dio Disciples is a celebration of the music and legacy of the greatest singer in the world, Ronnie James Dio."

The 17-track The Very Beast of Dio Vol. 2 CD picks up exactly where the first volume left off - from 1996 onward. And in addition to featuring such latter-day Dio classics as 'Killing the Dragon', 'Push' and 'Fever Dreams', the compilation will also include several rarities that fans have long requested on a single disc - 'Electra' (which previously was only a part of the ultra-rare Tournado box set), 'Prisoner of Paradise' and 'Metal Will Never Die'.

It has been over two years since the legendary Ronnie James Dio passed away after a battle with cancer. But his music continues to live on - as heard by the upcoming 'The Very Beast of Dio Vol. 2' and Dio Disciples tour dates.
