Ibhendi edumile i-Dio yangena emlandweni wedwala njengomunye wabameleli abangcono kakhulu bomphakathi wesiginci ngawo-1980 wekhulu leminyaka elidlule. Umculi nomsunguli webhendi uzohlala ewuphawu lwesitayela kanye ne-trendsetter esithombeni somculi we-rocker ezinhliziyweni zezigidi zabalandeli bomsebenzi webhendi emhlabeni jikelele. Kube nezigigaba eziningi emlandweni weqembu. Nokho, kuze kube manje, ongoti be-hard rock yakudala bayakujabulela ukulalela izingoma zakhe ezishisa izikhotha.
Ukudalwa kwe-Dio Collective
Ukwehlukana kwangaphakathi kweqembu le-Black Sabbath ngo-1982 kwaholela ekuhlukaneni kohlu lwangempela. URonnie James Dio ushiye iqembu, enxenxa umshayi wezigubhu u-Vinnie Appisi ukuthi akhe iqembu elisha elihlangabezana nezidingo zabaculi. Ukuze bafune abantu abanomqondo ofanayo, abangani baya eNgilandi.
Ngokushesha abafana bajoyinwa umshayi webhesi uJimmy Bain, noRonnie asebenza naye njengengxenye yebhendi ethi Rainbow. UJace I Li wakhethwa njengomdlali wesigingci. Kodwa-ke, u-Ozzy onobuqili futhi onobuqili, ngemva kwezingxoxo ezinde, wayenga umculi ukuba ajoyine iqembu lakhe. Ngenxa yalokho, isihlalo esingenamuntu sathathwa ngumuntu osemusha futhi ongaziwa emphakathini jikelele, u-Vivian Campbell.
Ngobunzima, i-line-up ehlangene yaqala ukuzilolonga ekhandlayo, umphumela wayo kwaba ukukhishwa kwe-albhamu yokuqala yeqembu i-Holy Diver. Ngokushesha umsebenzi wathatha isikhundla esiphambili kumashadi athandwayo. Ngenxa yalokhu, umholi weqembu wathola isihloko esithi "Best Vocalist of the Year". Futhi amathrekhi asuka ku-albhamu aye abonwa njengangasoze abuna ngempela e-rock.
Isikhundla esasingenamuntu somdlali wekhibhodi, izingxenye zaso ezaqoshwa uRonnie, kamuva sathathwa uClaude Schnell, owayefihlelwe izethameli ngemuva kwesikrini kumakhonsathi. I-albhamu elandelayo yesitudiyo, ethi The Last in Line, yakhululwa ngoJulayi 2, 1984. Iqembu libe selihamba lijikeleza izifundazwe liyokweseka ukudayiswa kwe-albhamu.
Ngemva konyaka, ngo-August 15, 1985, kwakhululwa Inhliziyo Engcwele. Amaculo ale albhamu ayebhalwe edolweni, ngesikhathi sokuvakasha. Lokhu akuzange kuvimbele izingoma ezimbalwa ekuzuzeni impumelelo engathi sína futhi zibe izingoma ezishisayo “abalandeli” abazilalelayo ngisho nangemva kweminyaka eminingi.
Ubunzima kanye nempumelelo yeqembu le-Dio
Eqenjini ngo-1986 kwaba nokungaboni ngaso linye ngenxa yombono wokuthuthuka kweqembu. U-Vivian wanquma ukushiya ohlwini futhi ngokushesha wajoyina i-Witesnake. Indawo yakhe yathathwa nguCraig Goldie, okwaqoshwa ngokubamba iqhaza kwakhe i-albhamu yesine yesitudiyo ethi Dream Evel. Engavumelani ngemibono nalokho akuthandayo nomholi weqembu, uGoldie walishiya iqembu ngo-1988.
Ngo-1989, uRonnie wamema uRowen Robrtson, owayesanda kuba neminyaka engu-18, ukuba ajoyine iqembu. UJimmy Bain noClaude Schnell bashiye bephendula lesi siqephu. Owokugcina "kwamadala" ngoDisemba wonyaka ofanayo wanqamula u-Vinnie Appisi. Ngemva kochungechunge lwama-auditions, uTeddy Cook, uJens Johansson noSimon Wright bamukelwa njengomholi. Ngohlelo olusha, kwaqoshwa enye i-albhamu ethi, Lock Up the Wolves.
Ishiya iqembu lomsunguli
Ngawo lowo nyaka, uRonnie wenza isinqumo esasingalindelekile sokubuyela eqenjini lakhe lomdabu le-Black Sabbath. Nokho, ukubuya kwaba okwesikhashana. Ngokuhlanganyela neqembu, bakhiphe iCD eyodwa kuphela ethi Dehumanizer. Inguquko elandelayo eya kuphrojekthi yakhe yayiphelezelwa umngane wakudala uVinnie Appisi.
Uhlu olusha lwebhendi luhlanganisa uScott Warren (oshaya ikhibhodi), Tracy G (oshaya isiginci) noJeff Pilson (oshaya ibhesi). Umsindo weqembu usushintshe kakhulu, usuba nenjongo futhi wesimanje, okuyinto abagxeki kanye "nabalandeli" abaningi beqembu abakuthandanga ngempela. Ama-albhamu I-Strange Highways (1994) kanye ne-Angry Machines (1996) amukelwe kahle kakhulu.
Ngo-1999 emlandweni weqembu kwaphawulwa ukuvakashela okokuqala eRussia, lapho amakhonsathi ayebanjelwe eMoscow naseSt. Baqoqe inqwaba yabalandeli bomsebenzi waleli qembu.
Umsebenzi olandelayo wesitudiyo uMaca uvele ngo-2000 futhi waphawulwa ngokubuya kukaCraig Goldy ebhendini. Umsindo webhendi ubuyele emsindweni wenganekwane wama-1980s. Lokhu kwaba nomphumela omuhle empumelelweni yomsebenzi, owathatha isikhundla esiphambili kumashadi omhlaba. Kodwa-ke, abaculi abakwazanga ukuzwana isikhathi eside, futhi umehluko wokudala waphinde wavela eqenjini.
I-albhamu ethi Killing the Dragon yakhululwa ngo-2002 ukuze ibuyekezwe kubalandeli bomculo onzima. Ukubunjwa kweqembu kushintshile ngokuhamba kweminyaka. Abaculi bangase balishiye iqembu noma babuye benethemba elisha lokuqopha enye ingoma noma i-albhamu. Ngemva kokuqopha i-Master of the Moon ngo-2004, ibhendi yaqala uhambo olude.
Ukwehla kokuduma kweqembu elithi Dio
Ngo-2005, kwakhululwa i-albhamu, eyaqoshwa kusukela ezintweni zokusebenza zeqembu ngo-2002. Ngokusho komholi waleli qembu, lona umsebenzi olula ake wawenza. Ngemva kwalokho, kwase kuyisikhathi sokuvakasha futhi, okwenzeka emadolobheni amakhulu emhlabeni jikelele. Kukhona okunye okuqoshiwe okwenziwa ohambweni lwakamuva lwaseLondon, iHoly Diver Live, eyakhishwa ngeDVD ngasekupheleni kuka-2006.
Ngawo lowo nyaka, uRonnie kanye nozakwabo abambalwa eqenjini baba nesithakazelo kuphrojekthi entsha ethi Heaven & Hell. Ngenxa yalokho, imisebenzi yeqembu le-Dio yama. Abaculi ngezinye izikhathi bahlangana nohlu lwangempela ukuze bakhumbule izinsuku zakudala futhi banikeze amakhonsathi ambalwa. Nokho, lokhu ngeke kusabizwa ngokuthi impilo egcwele yeqembu. Umsunguli ngamunye unentshisekelo ngamanye amaphrojekthi nezivivinyo, athuthukisa izindlela ezithakazelisayo zomculo we-rock.
Usuku lokugcina lokuhlukana kweqembu kwaba isenzakalo esidabukisayo. Umdlavuza wesisu owake watholakala kuRonnie waholela ekuguleni okubi kakhulu. Washona ngoMeyi 16, 2010. Akekho owaba nesibindi sokuthatha izintambo zokuthuthukiswa kweqembu elidumile. Iqembu liyohlala phakade emlandweni njengesivivinyo esinesibindi somculi onekhono nomculi, owaqashelwa njengenganekwane yomculo onzima.
