在1979年 Ozzy Osbourne被开除出Black Sabbath乐队以后曾经做过几年Sabbath的主唱。时间是1979-1982年.
1982年以后, Dio组织了以自己的名字命名的重金属乐队。他招募了一些自己曾经合作过的乐手，作为这个新乐队的成员。
Dio乐队的音乐，歌词主要还是围绕着神秘主义的内容：龙与地下城，魔法师，神话题材等等， 音乐上的处理则很接近Black Sabbath， Ritchie Blackmoore's Rainbow 等等老一代重金属乐队。乐队在1983年发行第一张专辑“Holy Diver”， 取得成功。后来的专辑也很精彩。
进入90年代， Ronnie James Dio参加了重组的 Black Sabbath, Dio乐队基本停止了活动，进入21世纪，Dio乐队发表了一些新作品，但是这几年基本没有消息。
Dio was an American heavy metal band formed in 1982 and led by vocalist Ronnie James Dio, after he left Black Sabbath with intentions to form a new band with fellow former Black Sabbath member, drummer Vinny Appice. The name Dio was chosen because it made sense from a commercial standpoint, as the name was already well known at that time.
The band released ten studio albums and had numerous line-up changes over the years with Ronnie James Dio having been the only constant member. Guitarists have included Craig Goldy (most recent guitarist), Doug Aldrich, Vivian Campbell, Warren DeMartini Tracy G, Jake E. Lee and Rowan Robertson.
The band dissolved in 2010 when Ronnie James Dio died of stomach cancer at the age of 67. The band has sold more than 10 million albums worldwide.
In 1982, disagreements originating over the mixing of Black Sabbath's Live Evil resulted in the departure of Ronnie James Dio and Vinny Appice from the band.[3] Wanting to continue together as a band, the two formed Dio in October 1982 in the United States with Vivian Campbell (guitar) and Jimmy Bain (bass). The following May, the band released their debut album, Holy Diver. It featured two hit singles, "Rainbow in the Dark" and "Holy Diver", which gained popularity from MTV. Ronnie James Dio and Jimmy Bain played keyboards in the studio, but recruited keyboardist Claude Schnell for live shows in 1983 prior to the Holy Diver tour. Claude Schnell played to the side of the stage on the first two tours before coming out front in 1985. Dio had this to say of the band's origins:
It was a good time to be in that band. It was perfect for us. Everything just fell into place. The ethic in rehearsal was amazing. The effort in the recording was just as good. Everybody wanted it to be great. We really believed in what we were doing and couldn't wait to get that product out and have people hear it.
