The latest track made available for streaming from the upcoming all-star Dio tribute album This Is Your Life is “Rainbow In The Dark”, with Corey Taylor, Roy Mayorga (Stone Sour), Satchel (Steel Panther), Christian Martucci, and Jason Christopher. It premiered on Revolver and the result is a real solid cover. Taylor commented on the cover:

“Ronnie was the most natural singer I have ever witnessed. He could do anything, hit any note, make any audience lose their minds. He was one of the greatest and I’m so happy I got to see him live. ‘Rainbow in the Dark’ was the first Dio song I really loved to death–just a powerful, high-energy hard rock song that was so good I wished I’d written it. When I was asked to be a part of this album, I knew there was only one track I wanted to record and luckily I got it. I only hope I did it justice. Having had the privilege of meeting Ronnie before he passed, I hope he knows how much I loved him for who and what he was: One of the greatest.”

Be sure to check out the other covers from Motörhead/Biff Byford and Metallica if you haven’t already. The album will be out April 1 on Rhino.
