"Shame on the Night" REVIEW** Released in the same year as Iron Maiden's "Piece of Mind" and Metallica's "Kill em All", "Holy Diver" had the great honor of being placed at the forefront of the juggernaut that was (and still is) the 80's metal scene. When I say "metal", I ain't talkin about no Korn or Limp Bizkit, this is REAL metal! Back in the days where "metal" had a good connotation (if you don't look at the big hair stuff, anyways). It's not hard to see why this album is considered a classic. It's full of heavy riffs, good musicianship, and plentiful melody. And, of course, there's Ronnie's killer vocals. This is considerably slower than his stuff with Sabbath, and the musicians aren't quite as good, but it's still great music. Songs like "Rainbow in the Dark" and the title track are metal classics, but it doesn't stop there. Check out "Don't Talk to Strangers", and the excellent "Invisible" (what a riff!). But, the whole album is good. If you like metal (and I mean REAL metal!), you need to buy this. Also buy "Rising", by Rainbow and "Heaven & Hell", by Black Sabbath. HAIL METAL!!!!!
