{"product_id":"dio-lock-up-the-wolves-red","title":"Dio - Lock Up the Wolves [Red]","description":"\u003cp\u003eLock Up the Wolves finds Ronnie James Dio rebuilding his band from the ground up, and this red vinyl pressing brings his 1990 album back with a suitably fiery look.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDio was the only member left from Dream Evil, so he assembled a new lineup featuring an 18-year-old Rowan Robertson on guitar, Jens Johansson on keyboards, Teddy Cook on bass and former AC\/DC drummer Simon Wright. He produced the record with Tony Platt, and the result is darker and more brooding than the glossy fantasy metal of his mid-eighties work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Wild One\" kicks things off with a speedy, snarling riff, while \"Hey Angel\" chases a brighter, more melodic hook. The title track is the true showpiece, a slow, menacing epic that lets Dio's voice prowl through the gloom, and \"Night Music\" adds a moody, atmospheric streak to the middle of the record.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRobertson's playing is raw and adventurous, giving the songs a hungry edge that suits Dio's commanding delivery, and Johansson's keyboards add color and atmosphere without ever softening the punch of the rhythm section.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOften overlooked in the Dio catalog, it is a record that rewards a fresh listen with the volume up, and the red wax makes it an eye-catching addition for metal collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57165873840433,"sku":"603497807802","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Dio-Lock_Up_the_Wolves_Red.jpg?v=1793188103","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/dio-lock-up-the-wolves-red","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
