About The Heavy Metal Foundry

Focusing on acts from 1965 right through the 80's, the Foundry features a vast pantheon of bands that gave form and definition to that sound we all lovingly call Heavy fuckin' Metal.

We intend to promote awareness of forgotten artists and reigning legends by reviewing classics of the genre thereby tracing the origins of Heavy Metal.

Horns Up For The God. R.I.P. DIO








Heavy Metal has sustained its greatest loss thus far - the passing away of a true metal legend, Ronnie James Dio. Not that there can be any bigger a loss than this. The iconic vocalist has finally succumbed to stomach cancer on the 16th of May, 2010. The Voice of Metal very sadly, has been beaten by his dragons. And no words can describe what a devastating blow this is to all his fans. So with that I offer my humblest condolences to Wendy Dio and every other true Dio fan out there.



He Will Missed Sorely. He Will Be Remembered Forever. Our Rainbow in the Dark. Ronnie James Dio.

We Hold the Horns At Half Mast For Thee.


R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio : 1942 : 2010



It is with great sadness that we inform you that ailing Metal Legend, Ronnie James Dio has passed away at the age of 67.

Ronnie's wife Wendy published the following statement :
Today my heart is broken, Ronnie passed away at 7:45am 16th May. Many, many friends and family were able to say their private good-byes before he peacefully passed away. Ronnie knew how much he was loved by all. We so appreciate the love and support that you have all given us. Please give us a few days of privacy to deal with this terrible loss. Please know he loved you all and his music will live on forever. 
- Wendy Dio "
