Description
Re-imagined, re-recorded and re-born, Diamond Heads forthcoming 40-year celebration of their genre-defining debut album ‘Lightning To The Nations’ is a scintillating shot of fresh metal energy. Taking the material which spawned the ground-breaking New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM), Diamond Head utilise all their skill, experience and revitalised energy to breathe so much new life into these freshly recorded takes that it feels like experiencing the earth shaking all over again.
The levels of fresh energy in these celebration sessions will blow doors and socks off all who hear them, and the potency of timeless riffage such as Its Electric and The Prince literally scream at the listener. Founder member, lead guitarist/songsmith Brian Tatler and rhythm guitarist Andy Abberley give the guitars a new razor edge, Karl Wilcox on drums and Dean Ashton on bass are a buoyant bombastic platform, while vocalist Rasmus Bom Andersen brings a brilliant new take on the vocals.
Anderson also produced and mixed the album with a freshness and attack which will thrill fans old and new. As if that wasnt enough, Diamond Head add four covers to the album, Judas Priests Sinner, Led Zeppelins Immigrant Song, Deep Purples Rat Bat Blue and a stunning take of Metallicas No Remorse, which is a tributes tribute to the band who openly formed under enormous influence from Diamond Head, and covered several of the songs on ‘Lightning To The Nations’, decades ago. Diamond Heads debut was a classic once already; it is about to be a stone cold classic once more.
