Here is my weekly Lost Metal Classic. Each week I will post a song from my high school years that somehow brought me comfort despite the quality of the music.

While I was in high school I think I spent all of the money I made at Laporte's Gardens [where I worked in Ottawa] on music. I think it had something to do with the fact that I spent an extraordinary amount of time watching MuchMusic. I have about 300+ tapes in storage that I have decided to selectively share with the world via my website.

Here's this weeks selection:

Band: Dio Album: Holy Diver Release Year: 1983 Label: Warner Brothers Spotlight Track: Holy Diver Track 2 [ MP3] Fast Fact: In late 1982 Ronnie James Dio and Vinny Appice formed a band that was not meant to be a solo project but a band as a whole. More info about Dio.

Have you been looking for a particular metal track from the 80's but can't find it? Send me the track name, and I'll see if I have it:
