Last Song Dio Recorded Included On The Very Beast Of Dio Vol. 2 Reissue

(Chipster) Out of print for nearly 10 years, The Very Beast Of Dio Vol. 2 will be available on January 31st on Limited Edition Dragon's Fire 2LP and 1CD and includes the last song that Ronnie James Dio ever recorded.

It's a carefully curated follow up to The Very Beast of Dio Vol. 1. which included tracks from Dio's first 6 albums.

Featuring liner notes from Eddie Trunk, famous radio host and longtime friend of Ronnie, the album also contains the last track ever recorded by Ronnie "Metal Will Never Die" which he performed with his cousin David 'Rock' Feinstein.
