Fates Warning - sign of the southern cross holy Dio, a tribute to the voice of metal, ronnie james dio copyright Label: Century Media RIP Ronnie James Dio
Love this, Fates sounds fantastic!!!! All the people that are saying all the negative things about this. These bands that do this are doing this to pay tribute!!! Not to outdo the original!! Keep your comments to yourself. Ronnie would have never said anything negative about these covers. Keep that in mind. Grow up!!!
Fantastic tribute! Ray Alder is NOT Ronnie and I am so okay with this! Ray is Ray paying tribute to a great vocalist. If someone wants to hear it like the original... listen to the original. I love them both.
@Thelight2112 That is Ray Alder of Fates Warning. Check em out. They do not have a weak album. Every album sounds distinctly different than the ones before. Even their older stuff. One of my all time favorite bands.
On December 8th 2023 LILIAC is releasing their cover of HEAVEN AND HELL, It's probably going to be really good! The lead singer is MELODY CRISTEA, She's a huge DIO fan, and has a voice that has that DIO sound! They will have a video to go with it, I'm sure it will be on UA-cam. Just thought I'd share it for those who are SABBATH AND DIO FANS!
One of the greatest songs ever written. Iommi and Dio were superb together. Those two Sabbath albums were the pinnacle of their careers, IMO. This cover is okay, but nothing touches the original.
First of all my friends, this is very very good metal song ever and with playing FW by this way, honored,respected, and with many virtuosity they've been shown real gratitude to Dio. R.I.P. Teacher !
best dio/sabbath cover/tribbute i have ever heard, excelent work! Vocals and guitar sounds great to me, drums are a little off, still awsome. HORNS HIGH!
windswept23 Dio is one of the world's best vocalists his early years he was in a band called The Elves went on to sing for a band called rainbow and Black Sabbath as well as numerous solo albums under his own name titled Dio
@bluehavencd dio, certainly, is rated as one of the best singers in metal. many tribute albums, many many words of thanks, from all over the world of metal and rock, are proof of how he had been and still is highly respected.
Not bad. Pretty faithful to the original though this one doesn't breathe like the Mob Rules version. There's not the same sense of immensity which is the essential element of this song.
Voice of metal, hell yes. RJD doesn't have the highest pitch in his voice, but within the range he possesses, I think nobody match his power and tone quality.
Ok you got one this is fuking awesome. Listen to ray in the band engine or other band redemption. One solo album alone fuking. New fates coming out. November v. Yeaaaaaaaaa Rick flair. Wooooooooooooooo
@MrNashguitar1 i agree man i love death metal but there are very few if any that would do this stuff justice. i would rather see vader cover slayer and suffocation cover sepultura than see at the gates cover holy diver xD theres a time and place for extreme metal.

FW are my favs, and they do justice here..but this version here lacks the doom, chaotic element, the heaviness of the original...the sound is "too" polished...bass,guitars and drums they should have been heavier for this one here..Ray is ok..!!!!
Fates Warning is amazing. Its a crime they are not huge in the music industry. So much talent in this band. Dio would be proud of this tribute.
Awesome job by Fates Warning. Ray and Jim two of the best in the busines no doubt. Been a Fates fan since 1988. U guys made Ronnie the legend proud 👍
Love this, Fates sounds fantastic!!!! All the people that are saying all the negative things about this. These bands that do this are doing this to pay tribute!!! Not to outdo the original!! Keep your comments to yourself. Ronnie would have never said anything negative about these covers. Keep that in mind. Grow up!!!
Good comment 👍
Just one of the reasons I bought this cd. Love Fates Warning and they did a fantastic job on this song.
Fates Warning is the fitting band to cover such a powerful song. Ray's vocals......I can' t give enough kudos to him. WOW!
Amazing cover! Fates warning puts their on special touch on all they do. Incredible musicians!
One of the best covers ever.Definitely not better than the original but still awesome.
Fantastic tribute! Ray Alder is NOT Ronnie and I am so okay with this! Ray is Ray paying tribute to a great vocalist. If someone wants to hear it like the original... listen to the original. I love them both.
Agreed Ray isn't Ronnie and he should never try to be. He is fantastic doing this song.
ray is a great vocalist in his own right
AMAZING!!! RONNIE IS SMILING!!! HORNS UP MY FELLOW CHILDREN OF THE SEA!!!
A great tribute to a Metal legend. Rest in peace, Ronnie. You will be missed.
Been my fav band since no exit !
You cant go wrong with FW, even when covering such a hymn
wow thanks for this
fates is the greatest doing a cover of dio sabbath the guys who imo put out the greatest back to back albums
@Thelight2112 That is Ray Alder of Fates Warning. Check em out. They do not have a weak album. Every album sounds distinctly different than the ones before. Even their older stuff. One of my all time favorite bands.
Love this cover! FatesWarning always nails it. \m/
Salute to FW for covering this challenging song.
This is a must have for the record collection.
Very good cover by FW. I love It.
A very fitting tribute, the best cover yet. Ronnie James would be proud. Fates Warning I salute you great job.
What a great version from a great band...rock on fates!!!!
An awsome band covering an awsome band. A great singer covering another great singer and a true lengend (DIO). AWSOME!!!!
Nice! The world needs more dio content and dio covers!
one of my favorite Dio-era Black Sabbath songs. great cover.
Ray is so incredibly good!
One of my favorite songs from the Dio Era of Black Sabbath...
rest in peace YOU GOT RAINBOWS IN YOUR VOICE
prog metal and power metal are the most unique genres in music
thats why they do such great covers lol
Ray Alder é fera!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Como sempre!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bela homenagem!!!
ray alder does this song justice! great post, thanks!
I have been addicted to this song for the past two days, I have listened to it three times today.
Brilliant! Maybe the best tribute album ever made!
Damn, nice voice…almost sounds like Dio. Well done

well done Fates
Fates covered "Die Young" on their Awaken the Guardian tour in 1986, with original singer John Arch.
Excellent cover. Nobody can really sound like the man himself but a fantastic effort 👌
not bad this is awesome
James D.I.O Lives FOREVER 2017/01/04
I saw that tour as well. My Dying Bride blew the roof off of the place!
MDB and Fates are the two best live bands I've ever seen live.
One of the greatest songs ever written. Iommi and Dio were superb together. Those two Sabbath albums were the pinnacle of their careers, IMO. This cover is okay, but nothing touches the original.
Thank you captain obvious! Now imagine Sabbath covering Fates...
Great Work!!!
First of all my friends, this is very very good metal song ever and with playing FW by this way, honored,respected, and with many virtuosity they've been shown real gratitude to Dio. R.I.P. Teacher !
Great Cover... they got the spirit of the song!!! \m/
This is damn good, nothing on Sabbath, but hot on their heels
wow...what a good band with a good cover
Fucking WOW! perfect homage. Perfect!🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Love this song!
Great cover. Awesome sound
ROCK IN PEACE!!
Soooooo Damn Good!!!
Sabbath, Dio are Legends ,all cover bands were awesome ln my book
Wow nice cover!
Dio.....one of the most underrated singers of all time. He deserved much more recognition than he got in life. \m/ \m/

Fates rule!
best dio/sabbath cover/tribbute i have ever heard, excelent work! Vocals and guitar sounds great to me, drums are a little off, still awsome. HORNS HIGH!
Amazing
Tudo que o fates Warning faz se torna extremamente fenômenal
I have to say, I think I like this more than the original.
great tribute to Dio, what was he a great musican
windswept23 Dio is one of the world's best vocalists his early years he was in a band called The Elves went on to sing for a band called rainbow and Black Sabbath as well as numerous solo albums under his own name titled Dio
SO TRUE Sermonized...SO TRUE !!! Yet among em there r also lotta young dudes who ain't got the knowledge, nor the sensibility !!!!
awesome band.
one of the pioneers of progressive metal.
they did dio proud!
Joey Vera (on bass) is a legend
Ray is Bad Ass...
kicks ass!!
@bluehavencd dio, certainly, is rated as one of the best singers in metal. many tribute albums, many many words of thanks, from all over the world of metal and rock, are proof of how he had been and still is highly respected.

WOW vocals are not so bad. One of my most fav. songs of Dio. Epic.
amazing,metal na veia,metal in the vain.
R.I.P.
Leave it to Ray, man...
Not bad. Pretty faithful to the original though this one doesn't breathe like the Mob Rules version. There's not the same sense of immensity which is the essential element of this song.
long live!
Somehow gives me a similar vibe as Psychotic Waltz covering "Disturbing the Priest" ...
FW FTW...
That's how it should be done!
@MetalMania33 Ray Alder is on vocals.
Tony Iommy ... this riff :)
DIO !
Voice of metal, hell yes.
RJD doesn't have the highest pitch in his voice, but within the range he possesses, I think nobody match his power and tone quality.
@edgarocs I agree was Dio chaneling or what? Or reading lots of Sitchin either way they both have it right.
Ok you got one this is fuking awesome. Listen to ray in the band engine or other band redemption. One solo album alone fuking. New fates coming out. November v. Yeaaaaaaaaa Rick flair. Wooooooooooooooo
1:17 ftw! ;>
2020 look alive. Rip rjd. Ev. Cc cb. Vp dime bag.
My son's name is Ronnie \m/
ThatMetalGirl Hi Ronnie, I'm Rhonni. \m/\m/

WHAT ...'THE ORIGINAL' DIO ---RESPECTS !!!! THE 'CROSS'~!!!CZ.KICK-ASS -----FATES WARNING
This song apparently has boosted bass and my subs are slamming with this song
@MrNashguitar1 i agree man i love death metal but there are very few if any that would do this stuff justice. i would rather see vader cover slayer and suffocation cover sepultura than see at the gates cover holy diver xD theres a time and place for extreme metal.
@MetalMania33
Should be Ray Alder
Add====If Nibiru Planet X=Xena Eris Nibiru code XEN is real(either manufactured by ptb-ptbs or natural or alien), this is its song====Sign of the Southern Cross at Southpole 2012 to 2013-2014(April 2013 alignment Mande code)====tbc==....
FW are my favs, and they do justice here..but this version here lacks the doom, chaotic element, the heaviness of the original...the sound is "too" polished...bass,guitars and drums they should have been heavier for this one here..Ray is ok..!!!!
@tokethrashbeer666 john arch cant carry ray's mic..just sayin
yeah, it´s a good cover. But who ever calls its "Better than the original" needs to be put down
