"Electra" (also spelled as "Elektra") is the twelfth and final single by heavy metal band Dio. It was released with the band's "Tournado Box Set" in early 2010,[1] before Ronnie James Dio's death on May 16, 2010.[2] It was the last song recorded by the band before that date as well.[3]
The song would later see wider release as part of the posthumous compilation The Very Beast of Dio Vol. 2 in 2012, and on the deluxe edition of Magica in 2013.[4]
