Egypt (The Chains Are on) - Dio - MP3 instrumental karaoke

High-achiever Ronnie James Dio (allegedly) single-handheldly invented rock music's 'devil horns' hand gesture as well as steering the ship of five huge bands: Elf, Rainbow, Black Sabbath, Dio and Heaven & Hell. Before his death from stomach cancer in 2010, he released ten albums and sold over 20 million records with Dio, sticking around as the band's only constant member. The group’s second studio album and magnum opus The Last in Line marked the first Dio outing for keyboardist Claude Schnell and gave the band their highest-charting album in both the UK (number four) and the US (number 23). Closing out the 1984 speed metal masterpiece on a more wistful note is this atmospheric dispatch, "Egypt (The Chains Are On)", which casts a mystical, mysterious and spiritual glow across the "land of the lost horizon" where “the stars won't shine," and deploys similarly evocative imagery like 'golden seas'.
