As previously reported, late metal great Ronnie James Dio is set to be memorialized with a new star-studded covers LP. Ahead of its April 1 release date, we now get a stream of Metallica's contribution.

The nine-minute "Ronnie Rising" is a medley featuring standout Dio material like "A Light in the Black," "Tarot Woman," "Stargazer" and "Kill the King." With crisp production and hard-hitting guitars, it sounds like Metallica in top form.
