Tribute to the king of metal singing R.J.Dio with Jarda Barton (ex-Citron, Kreyson, Limetal). For the nine chimneys, for the nine winding roads, for the nine ancient times, the idea was born to restore the Krokus band in the Kingdom of Wallachia. And so it happened, although after nineteen concerts or nineteen beers, everything started to go towards only one card marked K. R.J. DIO became our metal king. Sheet music has been distributed and the band is launching the We Rock: DIO tribute band project. The birth of the band could date back to sometime in the 80s, but not with a long era of activity. Around 2010, the idea arose to revive this band with the help of the great rock personality Jaroslav Bartona (ex Citron), who is still active in it. After a few events where various covers were played, the decision was made to play only Ronnie James Dio's work. And so the band sails through the riffs and melodies of the bands Black Sabbath, Rainbow and Dio and is looking forward to more of his loyal fans!
