This literally surfaced on youtube two hours ago.

An amazing original song by the great Jorn Lande.  This is a true tribute IMO.  Check it out.

Pretty cool song, feels like old heavy metal

TBH I was kind of taken back by the sales pitch attached to the video and I only thought the song was alright. Cool references in the lyrics though.

That's blabbermouth man, they follow every story with that kind of promotion.

Wow, Amazing!!

BTW, Is that some bat mobile behind the guitarist?

To clarify, this is on Jorn's new album titled "Dio", which is all covers. This was actually put together months back when Ronnie got sick. It was a fitting coincidence to come together right at this point. If anyone should inherit the throne, it should be Jorn

I was thinking this, maybe even Kitt?

Thanks for the info.  Is this the only original song then?  It does seem a little weird that there is a bit of promo in there for Jorn, but if this was done a while back then there is no shame IMO.  Some fanboys aren't gonna like this but I salute Jorn.  If you listen to his solo albums, you can hear the Dio influence all the way through, it's unmistakable.  Hail Jorn, you can tell how much love he had for Dio.

Yeah, exactly. This is the opening song. Then there's a dozen Elf/Rainbow/Sabbath/Dio covers. Should be good.

I actually liked this song. I see no reason why people should be upset. It's a good tribute. I wonder how many tribute songs are gonna surface. This one is perfect has cool references "the man who created the sign"

I didn't realize the work on the song/video started prior to Dio's passing, so I remove my one earlier complaint about the advertising.

Sounds like magic to me.  Can't wait.
