Holy Diver

Holy Diver is the debut studio album by the American heavy metal band Dio, released in 1983. The album was acclaimed by the music press and is the band's most successful album. It produced the singles "Holy Diver" and "Rainbow in the Dark" both of which received radio play. The album was eventually certified double platinum by the RIAA for 2 million copies sold in the US.

Kerrang! gave the album a positive review in 1983 and Holy Diver ended up at no. 5 in the British magazine's End of Year list of best releases. Today, Kerrang! still considers it a "perfect melodic metal album" and an "essential purchase".
