This is the band that features lead singer Ronnie Romero, who was recently picked to sing on the upcoming Ritchie Blackmore Rainbow performances. The guy definitely has a strong Dio-vibe in his voice. I'm not sure that I'm completely sold on this Lords of Black stuff, but some folks here might find it interesting. Neat cover.
"II" track listing:
01. Malevolently Beautiful (Intro) 02. Merciless 03. Only One Life Away 04. Everything You're Not 05. New World's Comin' 06. Cry No More 07. Tears I Will Be 08. Insane 09. Live By The Lie 10. Die By The Truth 11. Ghost Of You 12. The Art Of Illusions Part III: The Wasteland 13. Shadows Of War 14. Lady Of The Lake (RAINBOW cover, bonus track CD edition) 15. Innuendo (QUEEN cover, bonus track digital edition)

I was about to start a topic on this band. I heard it entirely today. Awesome band. Highly recommended.

Bad news for Lords of Black fans...
Quote :
RAINBOW singer Ronnie Romero has exited LORDS OF BLACK. He announced his departure from the Spanish melodic progressive metal band in a post on his Facebook page. Ronnie wrote: "Just to inform that since some weeks ago I did leave my 'job' as lead singer in LORDS OF BLACK. Almost five years of good music, great experiences and too much love and support from the fans around the world. Means a lot, so THANKS so much to all!! All the best to my ex-bandmates in their career."
LORDS OF BLACK guitarist Tony Hernando added in a separate statement: "I just want to confirm that Ronnie Romero is no longer the singer for LORDS OF BLACK. This is something that I knew when I was already working on new LORDS OF BLACK music, and, as you can imagine, it's something disappointing and truly heartbreaking.
"I respect his decision, and I can only say it has been a great journey these five years making great music together and achieving goals that seemed impossible. For that I will be forever grateful.
"Now it's time to find a new singer, get the band at full speed again and make the best album yet. I want to be clear about confirming that LORDS OF BLACK will be at Leyendas Del Rock festival in August, and other live gigs are being booked at the moment. Last but not least, I want to thank YOU the fans! You have been amazing and I will give you everything I have! LORDS OF BLACK rules!!"
I wonder if this means he's working on a new Rainbow album with Blackmore?

His vox reminds me of someone other than Dio...

Amazing singer. I picked up a cd by Nozomu Wakai's Destinia which was released earlier this year, and he handles vocals on this album. Highly recommended:
