Hi Guys
Here is our cover of Straight Through the Heart by Dio. Big respect to the vocalist Alonso for taking on the task of singing the song he did a great vocal for this.

The drums are Steven Slate Drums and the guitar used was my Ibanez RG1XXV through my Pod HD desktop for this one.

I did the best I could with it from a guitar standpoint and I am pleased with this overall. Alonso makes the track sound polished for sure! Now I am understanding my Boss BR800 more I will make my own drums up on my next cover song as for this I used the drums and bass from a guitar pro file.

thanks in advance for listening.

A seriously good rocker. This kicks ass!

Excellent guitar work, in fact all the instruments are excellent, as is the vocal track and the production.

Very well done, gentlemen!

Excellent cover, guitars sound great. I don't know much of Dio's solo work but I loved the two Sabbath albums he was on in the early 80's, he was an outstanding vocalist, your vocals sound great on this, well done!
