Strange Highways is the sixth studio album by American heavy metal band Dio, released on October 25, 1993, through Vertigo Records in Europe, and on January 26, 1994, through Reprise Records in the U.S. It was the band’s first album since Ronnie James Dio and Vinny Appice's reunion tour with Black Sabbath, and the first to feature guitarist Tracy Grijalva and bassist Jeff Pilson. Recorded at Rumbo Recorders in Los Angeles, California, the album was produced, mixed, and engineered by Mike Fraiser, while its cover art was designed by Wil Rees.

Upon release, the album would receive generally positive reviews from critics, but showed a continued commercial decline, debuting at No. 142 on the Billboard 200. This decline would continue throughout the 1990’s until the release of Magica in 2000.

Background and recording

[edit]

In 1992, the English Rock band Black Sabbath would release Dehumanizer, which was the first album to feature Dio and Appice since 1981’s Mob Rules. The album notably had a troubled production, as songs had to be rewritten multiple times.[1] Despite this, it was Black Sabbath’s biggest commercial success in a decade,[2] and would shortly thereafter launch a tour to further capitalize on this success. During the tour, however, Dio would leave the band a second time after the band was invited by Ozzy Osbourne to perform on his No More Tours tour.[3] Following the short-lived reunion, 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.[4]

Parts of "Hollywood Black" were demoed by Black Sabbath during the Dehumanizer sessions. "Whether it's the same, I don't know…" Tony Iommi remarked of Dio's version (before hearing it). "Could be the same lyrics – probably is. I wouldn't think he would use the same music."[5]

Produced by Mike Fraser at in , , it represents a shift toward a darker, more aggressive sound influenced by Dio's recent reunion with on their 1992 album . The record comprises 11 tracks, blending Dio's signature fantasy-themed lyrics with heavier riffs and industrial undertones. Standout songs include the title track "Strange Highways," clocking in at nearly seven minutes, and the opener "Jesus, Mary & the Holy Ghost," which critiques through apocalyptic imagery. Other notable compositions are "Evilution," exploring themes of moral decay, and "Hollywood Black," a critique of the entertainment industry. The album was initially released in Europe by on October 25, 1993, followed by a U.S. edition on in January 1994. Critically, Strange Highways is often regarded as an underrated entry in Dio's discography, praised for its raw energy and production but sometimes critiqued for departing from the band's more melodic style. It peaked at number 142 on the and has since been reissued multiple times, including a 2016 by Rhino Records. The album's themes of societal madness and personal redemption underscore Dio's enduring focus on fantasy and horror elements in heavy metal.

Background and development

Lineup changes

Following the temporary reunion of and with for the 1992 album , the duo returned to Dio's solo project, rekindling band activities after a period of uncertainty. This shift prompted significant personnel adjustments, as the previous lineup from (1990) underwent changes due to evolving band dynamics. Earlier members like guitarist , who had contributed to Dio's 1980s albums such as (1983) and (1987), had already departed in the late 1980s to pursue other opportunities, reflecting ongoing evolution in the band's composition. More immediately, bassist , a fixture since the band's inception and part of the Lock Up the Wolves lineup, was initially slated to return but faced personal issues that led to his exclusion, with no detailed reasons beyond general band progression provided. Similarly, guitarist Rowan Robertson, who joined at age 18 for Lock Up the Wolves, left after the album and its brief tour when Dio rejoined , pursuing his own projects including a band with vocalist . The reformed lineup for Strange Highways introduced guitarist Tracy Grijalva (known as Tracy G.), a and former member of WWIII, whose heavy, doomy style offered a more experimental contrast to prior guitarists like Campbell's melodic approach. On bass, , formerly of , was recruited after an impromptu at his home—arranged when Bain failed to appear for a —bringing a heavier influence shaped by his Dokken experience. These additions emphasized a fresh creative direction while retaining core members on vocals and on drums, ensuring continuity from earlier Dio efforts like . The new configuration fostered a collaborative band dynamic that influenced the album's intense tone.

Pre-production

The pre-production phase for Strange Highways involved intensive songwriting collaboration among , , Tracy Grijalva, and , with Dio solely responsible for all lyrics and melodies. The process began with Dio, Appice, and Grijalva composing the initial two tracks before Pilson joined, after which the remaining nine songs were co-written collectively as a band effort, emphasizing fresh ideas and daily rehearsals lasting 9-10 hours over two months. This collaborative approach marked a departure from prior Dio albums, fostering a unified creative dynamic that integrated the new members' riff contributions to shape the album's foundation. Conceptually, the album represented a shift toward darker, more progressive heavy metal themes, moving away from Dio's earlier fantasy-oriented narratives to address real-world frustrations and existential concerns inspired by personal setbacks and global uncertainties in the early 1990s. Dio expressed anger at societal issues and the modern world's disillusionments, infusing the material with black-and-white lyrical intensity to voice the unheard struggles of everyday people. This evolution was partly driven by the band's post-Black Sabbath reunion energy, as Dio and Appice sought to revitalize the project's sound following the underwhelming commercial reception of Lock Up the Wolves, which peaked lower on charts than prior releases and signaled a downturn in sales. Key tracks, including the title song "Strange Highways," were developed during these demo and rehearsal sessions as metaphors for existential journeys, portraying life's cyclical paths of , isolation, and repeated disappointments akin to a amid uncertainty. Dio envisioned the opener "Jesus, Mary & the Holy Ghost" to establish a deliberately "weird" and abstract tone, setting the stage for the album's thematic depth. These early sketches captured the band's intent to blend progressive elements with heavier, doom-laden riffs, reflecting Dio's personal reflections on career upheavals like the Sabbath reunion's collapse and industry shifts.

Recording and production

Studio sessions

The recording of Strange Highways took place at in , California, beginning in mid-1993 following the band's formation with its new lineup featuring guitarist Tracy G Grijalva, bassist , and drummer alongside . Principal sessions spanned the summer and fall of 1993, involving spontaneous jamming among the instrumentalists that was captured on Appice's tape deck to preserve a raw energy, with overdubs—including Dio's vocals—completed by October to meet the album's release schedule.

Production team

Mike Fraser served as the producer, engineer, and mixer for Strange Highways, bringing his expertise from previous collaborations with prominent acts such as to craft a sound that balanced polish and aggression. Assisting Fraser in engineering duties was Andy Udoff, while the album was mastered by at Sterling Sound in New York. Background vocals were provided by and bassist , enhancing the album's vocal layers without external contributions. The songwriting remained entirely in-house, with all lyrics penned by Dio and music composed by the core band members—Dio, , Tracy G, and Pilson. Reflecting on the collaboration, Dio described Fraser as "an absolutely incredible engineer" whose approach contributed to capturing the band's raw energy in the studio, distinguishing it from the more commercial polish of earlier Dio releases.

Musical style and composition

Style evolution

Strange Highways marked a significant evolution in Dio's musical style, transitioning from the melodic heavy metal of the band's albums like to a darker, more aggressive sound influenced by the metal landscape. This shift was intentional, as noted that the band began writing in a different manner with this , to recapture the live intensity of their early work while adapting to contemporary trends. Compared to the polished production of the preceding , Strange Highways adopted a denser, industrial-tinged that emphasized heaviness over catchiness. Central to this evolution were the contributions of new guitarist Tracy G. Grijalva, whose heavier, sludgy riffs—often featuring whammy bar techniques reminiscent of —infused the album with a modern edge, blending industrial aggression and grunge-era intensity suitable for the early . Drummer Vinny Appice's complex, powerful playing further amplified the intensity, delivering tight grooves and crushing fills that supported the album's raw production and distinguished it from the band's pop-metal leanings of the past. Song structures also grew more progressive, with extended compositions like the title track at 6:54 incorporating builds from acoustic intros to heavy climaxes, adding depth beyond the concise anthems of prior releases. The album's overall tone reflected Black Sabbath-like doom elements alongside occasional thrash-inspired speed bursts, creating mid-tempo grooves that positioned Strange Highways as Dio's heaviest effort to date and a deliberate "comeback" statement amid shifting genre dynamics. highlighted the band's conscious push toward this heavier direction during writing and recording, drawing from evolving metal influences to reinvigorate the sound post-reunion. This approach not only echoed the anger of Dio's brief stint on but also incorporated broader 1990s aggression, setting it apart from the more traditional heavy metal of the 1980s.

Lyrical themes

The lyrics of Strange Highways, primarily penned by , revolve around the central motif of "strange highways" as a for life's unpredictable and perilous journeys, intertwining fantastical with pointed observations on contemporary existence. In the title track, Dio evokes a cyclical, disorienting path akin to a "carousel" of chaos, symbolizing personal and professional upheavals in a "crazy world" that prompts escape to realms of the absurd. This theme underscores the album's departure from pure fantasy, grounding mythological wanderings in real-world disillusionment, as Dio explained in a 1994 : "It’s much more involved with the world that we see around us when we look out the window today as opposed to what we wanted ten centuries ago." Recurring themes prominently feature religious critique, occult undertones, and quests for personal redemption, delivered through Dio's signature poetic, narrative-driven style rich in mythological allusions. Songs like "Jesus, Mary & the Holy Ghost" challenge faith's foundations with provocative invocations of sacred figures, striking an "abstract chord" to unsettle listeners and establish the 's unconventional tone, as Dio noted: "We wanted that song to be where it is on the because it set the whole up for being weird." imagery permeates tracks such as "Evilution," amplifying a sense of moral ambiguity and dread, while redemption narratives emerge in introspective pleas for isolation and renewal, exemplified by lines yearning to "bury my bones on the " to evade societal judgment and embrace . These elements draw on archetypal myths. Dio's lyrical approach on Strange Highways marks a darker from earlier works like , favoring stark, "black and white" realism over whimsical fantasy, with wizards and magic yielding to raw frustration: "The records before that were much more fantasy oriented... where this one is pretty much black and white. This album is a very angry, frustrated black and white album because what I see in the world around me doesn’t make me a very happy person." Unique to the record is its on disillusionment, particularly in "Blood from a Stone," which confronts exploitation and inequality, serving as a platform for the voiceless: "I think that some one needs to shout out about it and I’m not trying to make sociological changes. I’m just screaming for people who don’t have a to scream from."
