"Better in the Dark" comes from Killing the Dragon, the ninth studio album by Dio, which Spitfire Records released in May 2002 with Ronnie James Dio producing as well as singing. He wrote the words and put the music together with bassist Jimmy Bain, while Doug Aldrich on guitar and Simon Wright on drums complete the lineup on the track.
The dragon on this record isn't the fairy-tale kind. Dio explained that the title beast stood for technology, which he feared would menace society in the years ahead, and he talked about the computer as the new god of modern life, one it was high time to rebel against.
