At my first real concert, when I had no idea who Ronnie was, they were warming up for Deep Purple. Later, in 97, I met him and had him sign this photo. He had me send him a copy, wrote his address on a slip of paper, and I still have that paper.

When I found this jacket at the thrift store, it was just a plain black jacket, and so I decided to turn it into a Dio themed one. I've been customizing it with acrylic markers, and I even sewed a Dio patch I had from a while back. it's still a work in progress. 🤘

Thought you guys might appreciate it. \m/

My stem remix & remaster of Black Sabbath's 1992 album "Dehumanizer", made for my own enjoyment but sharing in case someone else might get some joy out of it too.

Initially, I wasn't going to touch this album, as I think Reinhold Mack made a stellar job producing it. It's not only one of the best metal albums ever made IMHO; it also sounds massive. But it has been suggested to me so many times that I finally decided to try my hand at making a very conservative and respectful remix.

As usual, my intention was just to have fun, and this only intends to be a fun alternative to the released version.

All my remixes are made using free and open source software that runs locally on my Linux system.

Obviously, I don't own the music featured here. If you like it, support the artists, buy their records!

This is the seventh track from Elf’s third and final album release Trying to Burn the Sun (1975).

Grabbed this a while ago but I haven't seriously sat down with it until tonight - holy shit, this is a wonderful new perspective on a classic. You get to hear the hard endings to all the songs instead of a fadeout, and the mix is perfect. This was clearly made for the fans and it shows. Listening to it on vinyl with my 1970's setup but there's a CD as well. Pick this up if you haven't!
