CD review Various Artists "RONNIE JAMES DIO - This is your life"

(*/10) Time is flying. It was already four years ago when one of the biggest voices in heavy metal lost the fight against f**king cancer. A sad day for all real metal fans and friends. Dio was not only a singer with an awesome and unique voice, he was...

Live review PRONG/KLOGR, Patronaat, Haarlem 27.03.2014
