Last In Line is a band that seems like heavy metal fan fiction, almost too good to be true. And yet, here they are! It was shortly after the way too early death of Heavy Metal legend Ronnie James Dio when his former band colleagues and co-conspirators Vivian Campbell, Vinny Appice and Jimmy Bain came together to jam out of love, respect, and nostalgia for the good old days. The co-writers on DIO’s albums “Holy Diver”, “The Last In Line” (from which they took their name) and “Sacred Heart” soon teamed up with esteemed vocalist Andrew Freeman (ex-Lynch Mob) and Last In Line was born! Sure, it would have been easy to follow the path of least resistance and just become a living tribute to the band DIO but that wasn’t the right way to do this. Last In Line was the beginning of something new while respecting what and who had come before.
