Angry Machines is the seventh studio album by American heavy metal band Dio, released on October 4, 1996, through Mercury Records in Japan, and on October 15, 1996, through Mayhem Records in the U.S. It was the last studio album to feature original drummer Vinny Appice, and guitarist Tracy Grijalva. The album was not commercially successful and vastly underperformed compared to earlier Dio albums.
In 2019, Angry Machines was remastered and announced for reissue in 2020. While the first disc is identical to the original North American and European releases, the second disc contains live tracks recorded on various dates of the Angry Machines tour. The track "God Hates Heavy Metal," exclusive to Japanese pressings of the album, was not included in the reissue. However, this song was released as a standalone 12 inch single for Record Store Day in 2021, featuring "This is Your Life" and a live version of "Hunter of the Heart" as B sides.
