Angry Machines is the seventh studio album by American heavy metal band Dio. It was released first in Japan on October 4, 1996,[3] by Mercury Records with 11 tracks and in the US on October 15, 1996, by Mayhem Records but with only 10 tracks. It was the last studio album to feature original drummer Vinny Appice. The album was not commercially successful and vastly underperformed compared to earlier Dio albums.
