American heavy metal band Dio release a remastered edition of their sixth studio album Strange Highways. It marked their first album since Ronnie James Dio and Vinny Appice's reunion tour with Black Sabbath.
After the short-lived reunion with Black Sabbath for the recording of the album Dehumanizer (1992) and the subsequent tour, Dio and Appice returned to Dio's solo group, hiring Tracy Grijalva as new guitarist. Former Dio bassist Jimmy Bain was to make a return to the band, but he was soon sacked by Dio and replaced by Jeff Pilson. It is sometimes considered Dio's heaviest and darkest album.
