The Complete Albums 1983-1993 includes seven releases spanning nine LPs, starting with Dio's monumental 1983 debut album Holy Diver (1LP), and MTV mainstay thanks to hits like "Holy Diver" and "Rainbow In The Dark."

At the center of the action was Dio, whose fiery howls and medieval-themed lyrics helped to mold the shape of the genre.
