Magic Circle Music Present: "Magic - A Tribute to Ronnie James Dio"

Magic Circle Music Present: "Magic - A Tribute to Ronnie James Dio"

Dio's contributions to heavy metal are profound and indisputable. He participated in no fewer than six of the most critically important hard rock and heavy metal albums of all time, including Rising, Long Live Rock 'n' Roll, Heaven And Hell, Mob Rules, Holy Diver and The Last In Line.

Ronnie James Dio lost his battle with stomach cancer on May 16th, 2010. It is one of the greatest losses ever suffered by the heavy metal community.

MANOWAR and Magic Circle Entertainment have decided to honor one of metal's greatest legends with "Magic - A Tribute to Ronnie James Dio," a new CD featuring Magic Circle Music artists and friends performing some of Dio's most inspired work.

"Magic - A Tribute to Ronnie James Dio" is especially poignant because Dio hails from the same fertile upstate New York soil as MANOWAR. "Heavy metal has lost a great artist and a true gentleman," says MANOWAR bassist Joey DeMaio. "I had the privilege of being his friend and, along with other friends and admirers, we wish to honor him."

MANOWAR contributes a powerful rendition of Dio's signature song, "Heaven And Hell." Jack Starr's Burning Starr and the Magic Circle All Star Band (with Shmoulik Avigal and Joe Stump) contribute the classics "Catch The Rainbow" and "Long Live Rock 'n' Roll" and his cousin and former Elf guitarist David "Rock" Feinstein delivers a song inspired and written for Dio titled "Far Beyond." The album is rounded out by several tenacious, up-and-coming bands, such as female-fronted HolyHell, featuring the voice of Maria Breon (called by many "The Female Dio") as well as METALFORCE, Awaken and Crosswind, all of whom embrace Dio's legacy in their own inspired interpretations of his songs on "Magic."

In tribute to Dio's legacy, famous fantasy painter and illustrator Ken Kelly, the man behind many of heavy metal's most classic album covers (including some by MANOWAR) has reworked his iconic Rainbow "Rising" artwork for "Magic."

"Magic - A Tribute to Ronnie James Dio" is from the hearts of these musicians.
It is not only their privilege, but also their duty, to honor Ronnie by singing his praises while singing his songs.

"Magic - A Tribute To Ronnie James Dio" will be released on Magic Circle Music's online store Kingdom of Steel on June 18th, in Germany on July 16th, in the US and Canada on July 20th and further international territories in the forthcoming weeks. The album will also be available at the merchandise booth of all upcoming MANOWAR live appearances, starting at the Sonisphere Festival in Sofia, Bulgaria on June 23rd.

Track Listing:
1) MANOWAR - Heaven And Hell
2) HOLYHELL - Holy Diver (Live In Norway)
3) METALFORCE - The Last In Line
4) MAGIC CIRCLE ALL STAR BAND - Long Live Rock 'n' Roll
5) AWAKEN - I Speed At Night
6) CROSSWIND - A Light In The Black
7) DEAN CASCIONE - Never More
8 ) FEINSTEIN - Far Beyond
9) HARLET - Straight Through The Heart
10) JACK STARR'S BURNING STARR - Catch The Rainbow


MAGIC CIRCLE MUSIC präsentiert "Magic - A Tribute to Ronnie James Dio"
DIOs Einflüsse auf den Heavy Metal sind tiefgründig und unbestreitbar. Auf nicht weniger als sechs der legendärsten und wichtigsten Hard Rock und Heavy Metal Album wirkte er mit. Sein unglaubliches Können zeigte er auf Klassikern wie Rising, Long Live Rock'n Roll, Heaven And Hell, Mob Rules, Holy Diver und The Last In Line.

Ronnie James Dio verlor seinen Kampf gegen den Krebs am 16. Mai 2010.
Dieses ist wohl einer der größten Verluste, den die Heavy Metal Gemeinde jemals erleiden musste.

MANOWAR und Magic Circle Music haben sich entschlossen, einer der größten Metal Legenden mit dem Tribute-Album "Magic - A Tribute To Ronnie James Dio" die Ehre zu erweisen; ein neues Album, auf dem Magic Circle Music Künstler und Freunde einige von DIOs legendären Songs neu interpretieren.

"Magic - A Tribute to Ronnie James Dio" ist deshalb so ergreifend, weil DIO selbst aus dem gleichen kreativen Norden New Yorks stammt wie auch MANOWAR. "Heavy Metal hat einen großen Künstler verloren und einen wahren Gentleman," sagt MANOWAR Bassist Joey DeMaio. "Ich hatte das Privileg sein Freund zu sein und mit anderen Freunden und Wegbegleitern, wollen wir ihn ehren."

MANOWAR steuern mit "Heaven And Hell" DEN DIO Song schlechthin in einer kraftvollen Aufarbeitung bei. DIOs Power Metal Mitstreiter Jack Starr spielt den Klassiker "Catch The Rainbow", die eigens rekrutierte Magic Circle All Star Band (Sammy "Shmoulik" Avigal, Joe Stump) interpretiert eindrucksvoll "Long Live Rock'n Roll" und DIO Cousin und ehemaliger Elf-Gitarrist David "Rock" Feinstein liefert mit dem von DIO beeinflussten "Far Beyond" einen eigenen Song.

Abgerundet wird das Album mit einer Reihe von neuen, heißen Newcomern, wie die von Sängerin Maria Breon angeführten HolyHell (sie selbst wird oft als die "weibliche Dio" bezeichnet), METALFORCE, Awaken und Crosswind, die alle das Vermächtnis DIOs mit ihrer Musik ehren wollen und auf "Magic" ihre inspirierten Interpretationen beisteuern.

In Ehrung DIOs hat ferner der berühmte Fantasy Künstler Ken Kelly, der Mann hinter so vielen legendären Heavy Metal Covern wie auch einige von MANOWAR, das von ihm entworfene Original 'Rising' Cover für "Magic" verändert.

"Magic - A Tribute To Ronnie James Dio" kommt direkt aus dem Herzen der beteiligten Musiker. Es ist nicht nur ihr Privileg, es ist ihre Pflicht Ronnie zu huldigen, während sie seine Songs singen.

"Magic - A Tribute To Ronnie James Dio" wird in Magic Circle Music's Online Shop Kingdom of Steel am 18. Juni veröffentlicht, in Deutschland am 16. Juli, in den USA und Kanada am 20. Juli und in weiteren Ländern in den kommenden Wochen. Das Album wird außerdem am Merchandise Stand auf allen anstehenden MANOWAR Auftritten verfügbar sein, beginnend mit dem Sonisphere Festival in Sofia, Bulgarien am 23. Juni 2010.

Tracklisting:

1) MANOWAR - Heaven And Hell
2) HOLYHELL - Holy Diver (Live In Norway)
3) METALFORCE - The Last In Line
4) MAGIC CIRCLE ALL STAR BAND - Long Live Rock'n Roll
5) AWAKEN - I Speed At Night
6) CROSSWIND - A Light In The Black
7) DEAN CASCIONE - Never More
8 ) FEINSTEIN - Far Beyond
9) HARLET - Straight Through The Heart
10) JACK STARR'S BURNING STARR - Catch The Rainbow

The idea for the tribute album is great. the cover reminds me on the cover from the album "rising" by the band rainbow.
but magic circle music did something very untrue. far beyond was originally a track on the album "third wish" by feinstein. david rock feinstein did not write this song for ronnie, even if it would be great if he would write one for him.

Hi,

hat sich jemand von euch schon das Albumg gekauft?
Wollte es mir runterladen als MP3-Album im Kingdom Of Steel Shop, aber man kann da nur noch mit Kreditkarte bezahlten.
Als ich mir dort die Metalforce geladen hatte und die Manowar EP "Thunder In The Sky" ging das noch per Pay Pal, bzw. Click And Buy.

Hi,

joa ... wollte es mir ja als MP3-Album kaufen im MC-Shop, hab mir dort ja auch die Mletalforce und die Manowar EP gekauft, aber halt mit PayPal oder so gezahlt.
Jetzt geht trotz Kundenaccount nur Kreditkarte. Hätte mir auch lieber einzele Songs geladen und net das ganze Album.

Ich verstehe auch nicht, warum MCM die Alben nicht bei Amazon als MP3 anbietet.
Bei vielen ist das "Standard".
Aber so ist das halt...
