Dio is a Heavy metal act. Their sound grew out of Dokken, Dehumanizer, Killswitch Engage, Spitfire Records and Halestorm. Those roots explain a lot about how Dio arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Rainbow, Ozzy Osbourne, Motörhead, Deep Purple and Manowar, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Quiet Riot, Sum 41, Mötley Crüe, Judas Priest and Tenacious D, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 57 connections around Dio, reaching back through Dokken and forward to Quiet Riot.
