Ova knjiga je zapravo autobiografija legende metala Ronnie James Dia, koju je napisao on, a posthumno su je završili njegova supruga Wendy Dio i Mick Wall. Onaj dio koji se odnosi na Wendyno učestvovanje u knjizi je dovršetak nekih poglavlja pričom koja sadrži njenu stranu, odnosno njeno viđenje događaja u poglavlju. Moram napomenuti da knjiga ne obuhvaće cijeli Diov život, do smrti od raka 2010., već počinje njegovim razmišljanjem kada čeka u backstageu Madison Square Gardena na početak koncerta kojeg je uvijek želio, biti headliner te legendarne dvorane u New Yorku, odakle je Dio i potekao. Knjiga i završava tim koncertom. Između je Diov uspon kao mladi trubač i pjevač bendova, preko uspjeha sa Elf, Rainbow, Black Sabbath, do megauspješne solo karijere. Knjiga sadrži mnoštvo anegdota i avantura ispričanih iz Diove glave direktno u prvom licu, kako je nastao poznati horn sign rukom kojeg danas upotrebljavaju članovi metal plemena diljem svijeta. Knjiga je jako pitka, jako zanimljiva, jako se brzo čita i nije zamorno puko nabrajanje činjenica. Dakle, ako volite ili ćete tek zavoljeti ovog gospodina, jednog od najljepših glasova i najboljih pjevača u metalu, preporučam vam ovu knjigu.

The album ‘Sun God’ is composed of 9 tracks for over 55 minutes of playing time. It is a reflection about ancient old belief systems and how, nowadays, our beliefs are manipulated and dominated by hypnotic media, pseudo sciences, and placebo wisdom. The symbolism of the Sun God is used by the band in opposition to Satan and his temptations. While the latter one creates lies to make people’s souls empty, the Sun God represents the search for our inner Self, in intimate connection with Nature and the harmony it generates.
PARACRONA is a six-piece mainly from Norway. The composers are the Dutch-born singer RingoChristiaan Van Droffelaar and the lead guitarist Øystein Hansen. The songwriting takes inspiration from Burzum, Dimmu Borgir, Dissection, Morbid Angel, Mayhem, Dark Funeral, but also from Queen, Dreamtheater,Bay Area Thrash Metal, Classical Music, and Pop.
